@EddieChristian If you have a UE4 project, you can at least convert it to UE5 and have those assets in the project files. So you can place and use them as needed.
You just won’t have them in the internal Bridge plugin.
If you want to use them in a new project you need to re-download, which is very inefficient.
@anonymous_user_4c294f51 It’s nothing you did. The Bridge plugin in UE5 just doesn’t recognize local or custom files as well as previously downloaded ones.
Essentially the Bridge plugin for UE5 EA is a completely separate app than the desktop version and it has less functionality.
It’s just there to drag in the pre-built Quixel assets.
I suspect, however, that this will eventually change and be updated. It’s probably this way just for the EA version and for testing purposes.
Not really production ready or even build ready really.
