<div><br></div><div>So i would like to help with some feedback on it.</div><div>i'm a subscriber of UE4 since the first month and i know that some guys are working on FBX exporter today but maybe moguri</div><div>can make a better preset specifically to UE4. Some problems and suggestions that i got using Blender with UE4 for the last 2 months:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Scale Problems:</div><div><br></div><div>When exporting a FBX to UE4 you have a 1 to 1 scale conversion. So a cube with 1x1x1 BU will have</div><div>1x1x1 UU ( Unreal Unity) but when working with metric in blender ( The most common usage of BU is</div>
<div>1BU = 1M ) or setting metrics in the Scene configs you will got a problem cause 1UU = 1cm. </div><div><br></div><div>The solution is scale the object in the export configs to factor of 100. But it looks to cause several</div>
<div>problems with animated objects (Skeleton Objects as named by UE4). Looks that when you use a export factor</div><div>different than 1 it's applied only in the mesh not in the armatures or some like that....</div>
<div><br></div><div>Batch Export:</div><div>We have in blender fbx exporter the option to Batch export separated files per scene and per group but not per objects from this scene. why?</div><div><br></div><div>There's some others features that is available for Maya and/or 3DMax than we don't have support like:</div>

<div><br></div><div>Good lucky with this project blender is very popular in UE4 community already</div><div>Improving Blender for it usage will help a lot of indie developers.</div></div></div></div></div></div>
