Like the FBX import process, this has been optimized for object-based workflows, and has different limitations compared to the Datasmith glTF importer. For example, you might use it to import pieces of additional set dressing that you'll use to augment your Datasmith content in your Unreal Level.įor details, you can read about our FBX Content Pipeline.Īs of Unreal Engine 4.19, there is also experimental support for importing the glTF format directly into the Content Browser using the built-in Unreal Editor importer. However, you should feel free to use the FBX import pipeline if it suits your needs. Datasmith, by contrast, brings in entire scenes, potentially containing thousands of objects, each with its materials, pivots, scale, hierarchy, and metadata, from a wide range of sources.
