<div dir="ltr">Hi guys,<div><br></div><div>Yes this is one of the (preliminary) targets for Blender 2.8! Several people at this year's conference expressed interest in a better Blender --> Unreal pipeline. Especially for materials. I just started talking to some folks at Epic and hope to work closely with them and Blenderheads alike.</div><div><br></div><div>The big parts:</div><div>1) nodal GLSL material system that feeds into a PBR combiner node</div><div>2) updated viewport that renders #1</div><div>3) export rich materials from Blender, import into Unreal Engine with no quality loss</div><div><br></div><div>If any parts of these are already available please point them out!</div><div><br></div><div>Unreal isn't the only possible target, just the one I'm most interested in & seems to have wider interest in the community.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">Mike Erwin<br>musician, naturalist, pixel pusher, hacker extraordinaire</div></div>

I'm pretty sure that Unreal users have asked this a lot. Is there anything planned on the way of doing a PBR worfklow? (more in the vein of Substance Painter). Game engines are almost standardized on that nowadays so going from them to blender and using PBR is kind of difficult..<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Juan</div><div><br></div></div>
