Vulkan-glTF-PBR VS UEViewer

The code in Node::update() here https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan-glTF-PBR/blob/master/base/VulkanglTFModel.cpp seems to tank FPS when multiple nodes share the same skin during animation - if a skin has 100 joints and 30 nodes use the skin - that's 3000 node transformations per frame.

Yes, solving the problems inherent with shader graphs is likely not worth your time, take longer than the project itself, and not something that's going to be particularly helpful in professionally developing your skills in graphics. You can of course create a UI to configure the shaders you already have, similar to displaying and configuring this, and that might prove useful to you testing out rendering, but that's basically configuring a bunch of menus, easier to do, and no need for generic shader graph components, display, or compilation of those components.

If you're lucky, the developers will have used a standard format to store their assets and you can just use an existing asset extractor to do the dirty work for you: Unreal, Unity, and Flash (.swf) are some of the most popular ones.

Many people use UE Viewer. sm

There are posts about getting models somewhat on the regular, any amount of searching nets you the answer, ironically some of them by me. Get umodel and simply overwrite the auto game detection to smite and point the game path to wherever you have smite installed "SMITE\BattleGame\CookedPCConsole". From there just select whichever gods files you are looking for, beware that the upks only contain a extremely low quality dummy texture.

To assist you in extracting Unreal Engine files, you can use the Unreal Extraction Tool developed by Gildor: Unreal Extraction Tool.

You gonna have to extract them yourself with umodel. Open the program, select to overwrite game detection setting the engine to unreal 3 and smite from the game list. The game file path is the CookedPCConsole folder wherever you have smite installed. (example F:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\SMITE\BattleGame\CookedPCConsole)

I extract models and textures from Deadbydaylight and Deep Rock Galatic using UE Viewer and import them using this Add-on.

I extract the models from the game with UE Viewer, and use this add-on to import them into Blender. The Textures for the most part (the tattoos are also extracted and for some materials like the skin I just use shaders) are painted and UV edited by me.

1: You must already have the DX1 textures in a loose file format recognized by Blender (.png, .dds, .tga, ect.). They need to otherwise retain their original names. The textures can be acquired via UModel/UE Viewer. New Vision textures will work also.
