I have a blueprint that references assets from different locations such as Quixel materials, and I am looking for a way to quickly share this blueprint with another project on another computer. I tried migrating to an empty folder and then exporting and importing it on the other computer. All the assets come in but are somewhat broken. The static mesh components don’t have their static meshes set, the casting nodes break and any set variables that are linked to that cast. And it doesn’t ask me to replace some of the files like Migrate does if there are duplicate files found. All in all it is a huge pain to create a blueprint asset and give it to colleagues. The only other way I can think of is to migrate it to an empty project and then transfer the project file but I would like something more straight forward.
Hey @SCC-VRAC,
There are a couple of different ways that you can go about migrating your blueprints, but I’ve found a pretty easy tutorial in order to help you get started:
Are you trying to export all of the files, or just the blueprints themselves? It sounds like you’re trying to export much more than that though, which may be causing some issues with the code. Have you looked into source control? it may be easier to handle it through the VCS than a hard copy.
I hope this can help!

I will look through this, but what I am trying to do is be able to share blueprints to others by putting the blueprint along with the materials/meshes that are dependencies for the blueprint in a folder on a cloud drive for others to download and put into their project
@SCC-VRAC
Wonderful! So there are a couple of ways to go about that! Firstly, you’re definitely around the right page in how you want to go about it, but Unreal also provides an export option when selecting assets. You’re going to want to find your Reference Viewer, which is a nice little tool Unreal provides for checking all the dependencies to other assets you may have. Then, you can select all of those, and export them together.
Here’s a link to the docs, which says much more about the process:
You can even consolidate your Assets if trying to do them separately doesn’t work:
I hope this can help!
