In nuce: Game developer slash programmer Jonathan Murphy, also known by his nickname NuclearFriend, has released his Blend File Importer – a new plug-in for the Unreal Engine. Cost: 7.99 US dollars.
In toto: The plug-in allows Blender source files to be transferred as assets directly into the Unreal Engine content browser. Files are re-imported into Unreal Engine using a dedicated button, which can be used to call up a context menu by right-clicking. According to the description of the plug-in, Blend File Importer is particularly useful for quickly iterating 3D assets. Blend File Importer is compatible with Blender 2.83 and up, Unreal Engine 4.26 & 4.27 and Unreal Engine 5. Jonathan has set up a Discord server for users looking for support for the plug-in.
Click further: The Blend File Importer can be downloaded from the Unreal Engine Marketplace .
