Need help importing model with Textures on it

Development Discussion Content Creation
#1

I’m new to UE4. I came here from Unity3D a few days ago.

Whenever I import a FBX model the textures are not imported with it.

The rigged model only has about 9 textures on it and corresponding normal and spectacular maps.

Do the textures have to be atlased?

When I export from Unwrap3D Pro v3.0 using the embed textures option UE4 always crashes or never gets done importing or hangs up. This also happens if I choose the UE4’s import Textures and materials options.

How can I overcome these issues?

Thanks

Just checking, but did you ‘tick’ the Import Textures option?

Yes I did. When I check Import Textures and leave Materials unchecked it brings them in but does not assign or put them on the model. Thanks

Thanks, I am using Unwrap3D and I have also tried running the models through the Autodesk FBX converter and got the same results.

The models I am trying are models that I bought from various vendors like Arteria3D. The models worked fine in Unity3D.

Thanks
