Export from Blender To Unreal Engine 5 Via USD | An Alternative When Datasmith is Not Available

Описание: Hey guys!

I know you've thought before that there should be a way to export your Blender project to Unreal without the hassle of creating materials and bringing textures all over again.
Unfortunately, there's no Datasmith plugin/add-on for Blender, but luckily, Pixar has made their USD file format open source and Blender can export such files, and Unreal has a plugin to be able to import them, lucky us!

In this video, I'll show you how to export a project from Blender to Unreal via USD and some limitations and issues you might face to take into consideration.

I'm using Unreal Engine Version 5.3 in this video.
