Announcing: Unreal Datasmith: Beta registration is live

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 13:51:09 GMT

At SIGGRAPH, we announced beta registration for our new Unreal Datasmith: A collection of workflow tools to deliver a frictionless experience for importing existing assets from Architecture and Design pipelines for experiencing design.

You'll find two components initially in the beta:
1) Unreal Datasmith for 3ds Max: Import entire scenes with maximum fidelity and minimum effort. Materials, lights and cameras converted with support for V-Ray, Corona and Mental Ray.
2) Unreal Datasmith CAD: Import over 20 CAD formats, including Catia, NX, Creo and Rhino directly into the engine. Supports tessellation of Brep formats and import of part assemblies plus more.

If you want to read more on this initiative and register, then look for the details that sit below the on-line registration form.

Hi,

Sounds good.

Will these technologies also get ported to UE4?

Especially the scene converter, including its conversion of vRay materials.

No, Datasmith is a solution that you pay for. Pricing and availability is not announced yet.

I was extremely excited to stumble on this news on your company website yesterday, Ken.

I signed up for the beta and am anxiously awaiting to see if I get in when it opens up.

Awesome stuff!

Beta invites to about 20% of the crowd should start going out by Sept 6. We will be continuing to build beta over the next few months, roughly expect 50% acceptance rate.
