Hallo,

I can’t seem to figure out how to import MDLs into UnrealEngine. Do I need DataSmith for that?

If not, can anyone point me to how to do it?

Thanks
Max

MDL files are not a supported import format

Also, part of it is that many games and programs might use a format called .mdl but aren’t actually the same format

Hi Max,

If you are looking to import NVIDIA MDL material files, make sure that the AxF / MDL Importer plugin in the Unreal Studio category is enabled. You will then be able to import MDL files from the content browser. Click on the Import button and select the “MDL material files (*.mdl)” extension.

How unfortunate that Blender Source Tools are not working in 100% in Blender 2.82 like Blender don’'t see any .mdl files,but why is it happening?
