**update 2019/04/02:** Hello there. This is not april fools, but the tool has been updated and is currently available at github under BSD license and free of charge.

Texture importing took forever while I was capturing the video. ---

Great! Same question as Franktech, does the tool make the conversion from UE4 to Unity? Thanks 😉 ---

So yes please… > Logical next question: does it help with also migrating a scene from UE4 back to Unity…? Unofortunately, currently it is one way only. I should be able to make another plugin for migrating content backward (meaning from UE4 to Unity), but that’ll be a bit more complicated, because I’d need to generate surface shader from UE4 nodes if I wanna do it properly. This one can build UE4 material from unity standard shader settings. Here’s example of auto generated material that has multiple textures: ---

I found the scene converter but I can’t successfully rebuild the json plugin for 4.16.3, anyone want to help? [https://bitbucket.org/neginfinity/jsonimport](https://bitbucket.org/neginfinity/jsonimport) I don’t know anything about c++ other than installing visual studio for compiling in ue4. Here’s complete links,[Negative Infinity – utilities](https://neginfinity.bitbucket.io/pages/utilities.html#utilities) I think the unity export plugin still works but just trying to get the ue4 side of it to work. Unity does have a FBX exporter now that lets you export entire scene hierarchy. I just tested it and it does work but the all the scene pivots are grouped as one location in order to keep object position. And instanced objects don’t get any material applied. So it’s better than nothing but neginfinity’s plugin would work even better. ---

Well Unity’s free fbx exporter is being improved everyday, and they claimed to have fixed the issues I had. And there’s other plugin’s for unity in the store that also work. ---
