No valid Twinmotion content plugin found - UE 5.1.1

Development Getting Started & Setup

Hello
I have the Twinmotion content plugin installed in my 5.1.1 but when I try to import a .TM scene I can`t and I am getting these in the message log:

No valid Twinmotion content plugin found
Unsuported file format version

I am using Twinmotion 2023.1

Why it doesnt let me load the scene as TM? It works only as datasmith.

I also found these in the Epic Launcher, showing as Queued.

Does it mean they are not downloaded yet? They show up as installed on UE plugin settiings…

With TM 2023 you are expected to export the scene as datasmith file and then import it in UE.
For that you need that plugin to be in UE to have the necessary assets.

From @MisterSmile84
With Twinmotion 2023.1 you can export Datasmith files and bring your scenes into UE by using the latest Content plugin found on the marketplace: Datasmith Twinmotion Content for Unreal Engine (Beta) in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace
Here is the documentation to follow along for the Export and import of the Datasmith scene from Twinmotion:

Oh ok, It means I saw an older tutorial. Yeah datasmith works
But still, .TM extension is there and recognized when I`m trying to open, it just that its giving the errors.

My understanding is:

  • if you use the old plugin for UE 4.27, 5.0 and 5.1, then that plugin adds the support for the .TM into datasmith import. However that would work only with versions of .TM compatible with that plugin. 2023 TM files are not.
  • if you only work on TM2023 and .TM coming from 2023. You just need the corresponding content plugin described above and you use udatasmith file.
