Mesh Merge: Textures are embedded?

Asset Creation

Hi,

Something weird is happening with UE5.3 that I can’t fnd any documentation about:

When merging meshes (including merging the materials), a new material and new textures are created to match, but:

1. In UE5.2 the textures and material are separate assets that can be tuned, saved, exported…

2. In UE5.3 the textures and material are NOT assets but appear to be included in the merged mesh (the filesize is rougly equivalent to the several files in UE5.2 combined).

What is going on here? Is there a way to control this behaviour?
