Upcoming "Send to Unreal" add-on for Blender Feedback

[anonymous_user_f70d3582]

nice to see blender getting some love, i always wished someone would have just made a .blend file importer/exporter add-on for UE4, would of been sweet :).

@zaha

In the livestream it was said that the add-on set’s the unit scale to 0.01. As Workman mentioned in the Blender to Unreal Engine livestream in October this causes some things (physics, lighting, …) to become weird in Blender. From my own experience and what I heard a lot, it’s best to keep Blender in the default scale. It would be a great achievement for Blender with UE if this add-on could get rigs, animations and sockets to work with Blender in the default scale of 1.0 to steer clear from any of these issues.

1. Dynamic scaling for any unit scale (even just as an option). Using a scale of 0.01 while accurate to UE4 makes for a bunch of incompatibilities with animation and physics within Blender, things like cloth simulation can sometimes become almost impossible below a scale of 1.0.

you wanna hear something funny, the whole having to use 0.01 is all down to blender users because they just had to have the “m” next to the numbers showing size/location…ect, if they had left the units and unit scale alone(so the original default settings) and then just used the default blender units as cm nobody would have to deal with it as it is now.

pretty much shot themselves in the foot
