Very helpful tutorial, thank you. It works best in windows, how can I compile this for linux? Is there a way to assimp linux library to the compile path in c#? tried this, but it doesn’t work.

To compile it for Linux, find the correct VS compiler for it, using

cmake -G

it’ll list them all for you. Find the one that is Linux and that should generate the correct project for it

PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add(System.IO.Path.GetFullPath( System.IO.Path.Combine(ModuleDirectory, “…/…/libassimp.so.4.0.1”)));

try using

FPaths::ProjectConfigDir()

and to combine pathes, since they’re juste FString, just use

path1 + "/" + path2

So how do I spawn a custom model as a AStaticMeshActor which I can control in-game?

To do that i’d recommend using the RuntimeMeshComponent, since loading a mesh at runtime makes it non-static. here’s the discord, i’ll be there : Runtime Mesh Component
