I have the 3DS plug in installed in 3DS Max 2021 and can export my files from 3DS no problem. When I try to import these files into unreal Engine 5 I cant get them to come in only fbx or stl options show up or if try to copy and paste them into a folder in unreal 5 I just get loads of errors. Does anyone know of a simple way to get them into the engine ? I never had a problem with this in unreal 4 …any help you guys could give would be appriciated

  1. Make sure you have Datasmith Importer plugin enabled.
  2. Make sure you import through Datasmith. The button is now here:
