Datasmith Blender Additions

The Blender Datasmith Exporter lets you export a complete scene (with hierarchy, materials, lights and cameras) from Blender to UE4/UE5 using the Datasmith format.

This is a spiritual succesor, and commercial version of the previous project:

https://github.com/0xafbf/blender-datasmith-export

This package is a plugin that you add to UE4/UE5, and it includes many implementations for Blender nodes that are not available in Unreal Engine. That way you can import even complex material shaders from Blender.

The benefit of using Datasmith over other export options (USD, FBX) is that Datasmith format matches very closely Unreal's scene structure. Additionally you can customize your import pipeline with the Dataprep workflow. This plugin particularly gives good results when exporting objects with custom shaders.

By purchasing this package, you are supporting an indie developer in creating more tooling. If you rely heavily on this plugin for multiple projects, please consider purchasing it again per user or per project. That way I can dedicate more time to improve it.

This package is prepared in UE 4.27 and compiled to run in UE 4.27 all the way through UE 5.5

This package has been tested to work exporting scenes from Blender versions between 2.93 and 4.1
