I recently re installed Engine 4.27.2 to a different HD (other HD was getting full) and noticed this issue with all my Skeletal Meshes. When opening the mesh editor the details are all blank and no materials. These skeletal meshes had working materials assigned to them but now are all gone. The Static meshes seem to be working still. Restarting UE editor or PC doesn’t do anything. Re importing the skeletal mesh doesn’t fix it. But if I import it as a STATIC mesh the mesh editor details and materials show up. Not sure what I did or what changed. Has anyone seen this issue before?
In Mesh Editor I Tried closing the details tab then re open the details but still blank.
In Epic Launcher I verified my UE4.27.2 install. It did a little more installing, cleaning up, then finished but Mesh editor details tab is still blank. I Closed the details tab again and re opened the details tab, still blank. I Re Started my PC and Opened up UE4 project. Mesh Editor details tab is still blank.
My Project folder and content are in the same place they always have been, never got moved.
I created a brand new 3rd Person project and tried importing a skeletal mesh, opened the mesh in the Mesh Editor, Still the details tab is blank.
Wow so in the Mesh editor on a skeletal mesh it was showing the blank “Details” tab but so I clicked “Window” at the top then “Asset Details” that has all the material slots to apply on the skeletal mesh.
