Blender to Unreal Live Link  

Blender → Unreal in REAL-TIME | Version 3

🚀 WHAT IT DOES

- REAL-TIME live sync — Blender changes hit Unreal instantly

- Send your full scene, just selected objects, or full animations

- Rigs, object motion AND rigid-body physics — all handled automatically

- Bake & Send turns complex node materials into clean PBR textures on the fly

- Works with Blender 3.6 – 5.x and Unreal Engine 5.x

This isn't a fancy FBX exporter. It's a live bridge between the two apps you use every day. Stop fighting your pipeline and start creating. 💪

  UPDATE v2.3
================================
✅ Blender 5.1 Support - Extension system compatible (manifest + license)
✅ Unreal Engine 5.7 Support - Fully tested and working  ( you can't use this version for Unreal 5.6 ) 

================================================================

   UPDATE v2.1

================================================================

🔥 Bake & Send - Complex materials (Mix, ColorRamp, Noise, etc.) auto-baked to clean PBR textures. Originals restored after send.

👨‍👧‍👦 Parent/Children Support - Select parent, all mesh children included automatically.

📐 Scale Fix - Blender to Unreal 1:1 scale. No more 100x mismatch.

📍 Pivot Preserved - Object origin from Blender stays in Unreal.

🔄 Transforms - Location, Rotation, Scale sent and applied in UE.

🛡️ Live Sync Stability - No crash on topology edits. Safer import with full error protection.

⏱️ Smarter Debounce - Longer wait for heavy edits to settle before syncing.

📦 Auto UV - Models without UV get automatic UV for baking.

🎯 Multi-Select Export - Send multiple selected objects at once.

🔗 Blender Live Link to Unreal Real-Time Bridge Between Blender & Unreal Engine ⚡

Tired of the endless Export → Import → Reimport cycle? Blender Live Link creates a seamless one-click connection between Blender and Unreal Engine — send your models, materials, and textures in real-time without ever leaving your workspace!

✨ Key Features

🚀 One-Click Send — Select your models and send them straight to Unreal with a single button press

🔄 Live Sync Mode — Enable auto-sync and every change you make in Blender instantly appears in Unreal. Move, scale, edit — it all updates automatically!

🎯 Send Selected — Don't want to send the entire scene? Select specific objects (even parented/grouped meshes) and send only what you need

🎨 Smart Material Transfer — Simple PBR materials transfer automatically with all textures (Base Color, Normal, Roughness, Metallic)

🔥 Bake & Send (Complex Materials) — Got complex shader setups with Mix, ColorRamp, Noise nodes? The built-in baker converts them to clean PBR textures before sending — your original materials stay untouched!

📦 Auto UV for Baking — Models without UV maps? No problem! Automatic UV generation for hassle-free baking

👨‍👧‍👦 Parent/Children Support — Select an Empty or parent object and all mesh children are automatically included

⚡ Smart Change Detection — Deep scene hashing detects mesh edits, material changes, texture swaps, and transform updates

🛡️ Non-Destructive Workflow — Bake & Send backs up your materials, sends simplified versions, then restores everything back to original

📊 Scene Info Panel — Always see your mesh count, material count, and texture count at a glance

🖥️ System RequirementsMinimum Version🟠 Blender5.0 or higher⬛ Unreal Engine5.5 or higher💻 OSWindows 10/11

⚠️ Both Blender and Unreal Engine must be running on the same machine.
