(I cannot take screenshots right now, so I’ll try to explain without)

There is still other issues for Blast.pkfx:

• AlphaBlend_Additive mode not supported in UE (the default material renders red to show you that)

Quick workaround: override the UMaterial: in UE, open Pk_Blast (the other tab you opened in the screenshot), UE4/Class PopcornFXEffect - PopcornFX look at “PopcornFX|Renderer Materials” and change the material to M_Pk_Billboard_AlphaBlend_Lit for example (make sure you enabled “Show Plugins Folder” Content Browser in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.3 Documentation)

The right way would be to correctly change all CParticleRenderers BillboardingMaterial to be AlphaBlend or Additive (CParticleRenderer Billboard - PopcornFX)

• Asset name conflict between BlastPack.dds/png and BlastPack.pkat which both are just named “BlastPack” in UE.

You can import manually both with seperate name, then override them in UE’s Pk_Blast “PopcornFX|Asset Dependencies” UE4/Class PopcornFXEffect - PopcornFX

Or, you can rename them to T_BlastPack.dds and Pkat_BlastPack.pkat, and change all reference to them in Blast.pkfx

• The Gravity is probably -Y because Blast has been created for an AxisSystem Y-Up

We will “convert” some pkfx of the Sample Pack to be compatible with UE for the next release.

Thanks, i’ll give it a try and update. Sorry I overlooked your initial post about this above lol
A Suggestion that might help. When say we want to export something to be UE4 ready, you could give us an option under the menu for “UE4 Pack/Export”.
When it exports it, it’ll put everything such as the pkat, png/ddg and what not in one go. That way, we are not hunting down the parts and getting them mixed up. Wouldn’t hurt to have the option within the menu to change the naming scheme we’d prefer.
