Importing OBJ/DAE assets into UE4! Help please

You can’t import an OBJ/DAE in to Unreal Engine, it only supports FBX.

while I don’t want to disagree with you but obj support was added in UE4.2

from the 4.2 release notes.

New: OBJ Mesh File Format Support

You can now import .obj files for static meshes! The file format is very simple so keep in mind that it does not support the following features:

•Vertex color importing.

•Collision importing.

•Tangent and Bbinormal importing.

•Transforms.

•The model will be rotated if not modeled with Z up because with OBJ importing we have no way of getting the source coordinate system.

@Knight526806, you should be able to import your obj and tga’s although as qdelpeche pointed out with those links fbx support is much better then obj, you might want to think about importing your obj into a 3D app like blender and then exporting to fbx.

to answer your question, import the model and the textures, create materials using your textures and then apply the materials to the material slots in the model viewer.
