Static Mesh Question

Development Asset Creation
1

Hi everybody!

This is my very first post on these forums! I’m brand new to Unreal, and any kind of game dev stuff in general, but I’m having a blast learning.

I recently downloaded a free assault riffle FBX from www.free3d.com. When I import the FBX it brings a TON of stuff, most of them being pieces and parts of the riffle. One thing I don’t see is a static mesh for the gun, and its also not available in the static mesh drop down list.

So my question is, am I downloading the wrong thing or how do I make the riffle a static mesh?

I’m sure this is something simple, but I haven’t been able to find an answer yet.

Thanks for any input

You’d need to first bring it into a 3D software like Blender/3ds Max/Maya and then check to make sure it’s set up properly and then export it to UE4.

Thank you! I figured it was something super simple.
