VERSION 2 OVERVIEW

The v2 walkthrough.

HOW IT WORKS

Five steps. Done.

Install, copy scripts, enable, connect, create. Your Blender scene lands in Unreal in seconds.

1

INSTALL

Install the add-on in Blender and copy the Unreal scripts to your Content/Python/ folder.

2

CONNECT

Click Start Live Link in both Blender and Unreal Engine. The bridge is ready.

3

CREATE

Send, sync, iterate. Every change in Blender appears in Unreal instantly.

One-Click Send
CORE FEATURE

One-Click Send

Select your models and send them straight to Unreal with a single button press. Meshes, materials, and textures all transfer together. No export dialogs, no file browsers, no FBX settings to fiddle with.

Select. Click. It is in Unreal.

Live Sync Mode
CORE FEATURE

Live Sync Mode

Enable auto-sync and every change you make in Blender instantly appears in Unreal. Move, scale, edit topology, swap materials — it all updates automatically. Smart change detection uses deep scene hashing to catch mesh edits, material changes, texture swaps, and transform updates.

Smarter debounce waits for heavy edits to settle before syncing. No crashes on topology changes.

Bake and Send
CORE FEATURE

Bake & Send Complex Materials

Got complex shader setups with Mix, ColorRamp, Noise nodes? The built-in baker converts them to clean PBR textures before sending. Base Color, Normal, Roughness, Metallic — all baked and transferred. Your original materials stay completely untouched.

Non-destructive. Bake, send, restore — all automatic.

Smart Material Transfer
CORE FEATURE

Smart Material Transfer

Simple PBR materials transfer automatically with all textures — Base Color, Normal, Roughness, Metallic. For models without UV maps, the addon generates automatic UVs for hassle-free baking. Select an Empty or parent object and all mesh children are automatically included.

Auto UV. Parent/children support. Multi-select export.
