I have a big scene in Blender with many small details. Are there any FAST and EASY way to move this scene into UE5? I would like to avoid the need to configure each material manually. It it possible? Almost all materials in my scene are PBR (Cycles Render Engine).

I'm not sure if you already have a good pipeline for Blender to unreal, and I haven't done much of this, merely getting a company logo into Unreal. But, using this Add-On found here; https://github.com/xavier150/Blender-For-UnrealEngine-Addons
Has anyone used unreal engine with blender? if yes, what is your work flow for import export?

So i was looking into the Locomotive system and thought cool ill use it and just swap animations but EVERY time i export ANY skeleton the bones look like this? Do i rebuild a skeleton? Just use it like this?

I would recommend installing Jim Kroovy's Mr. Mannequin tools (https://github.com/Jim-Kroovy/Mr-Mannequins-Tools) you can animate directly with the UE4 default skeleton with some pretty intuitive rigging features. Anything you export can be imported to the ALS skeleton (which is the same as the default UE4 one) or at the very least re-targeted to it.
Unreal's in-engine animation tools are nicer than I expected

To speed up things in Blender I recently found a tool called Mr Mannequins Tools. It’s pretty dope but is still in heavy development. Basically it generates rigs for you and handles IK. I’ve been using it and can be a bit confusing but once you learn how to use it, it’ll speed up everything by 10x.
Look, I am avoiding the asset flip trend, it is hard ok, it creates nightmares 😂!! My first blender character to unreal test and my god, 4 hours for this 😢🙃… but hey at least I am not using ALSv4 😏😂 Just kidding guys.

Clive Barker called, he doesn't want you to know about Mr Mannequin Tools, but I find it pretty helpful.
