Blender 3D
This is basic workflow from Blender to Armor Paint and Unreal Engine. on how to export object from Blender 3D, import it to ArmorPaint and to Unreal Engine 4 once painting process is completed. Before we proceed to export make sure to unwrap object. You can make custom uv, but for purpose of this instruction I will use Smart UV.
Select object Create UVs Smart UV or Custom UV Light Mat – Optional Export as OBJ
ArmorPaint
Click on the Meshes tab - Import or Ctrl+i, or Drag and drop unwrapped .obj file into the viewport. This will replace the currently painted mesh. (.fbx and .blend files are supported, but the importer is not 100% reliable yet. )
Open ArmorPaint and Navigate to Mesh Import OBJ Object is ready to paint Material Node Change Color Paint Use export preset for Unreal Engine Export
Unreal Engine 4
- Open Unreal Engine 4
- Import Textures
- Import Object/Mesh
.obj - Open Imported Material
- Drag and drop textures and connect
Open Unreal Engine Import textures created in ArmorPaint Navigate to textures Also Import Mesh/Object Default settings Open and Set Material
