Why is FBX importing crashing editor?

FBX import will crash, up to date plugins… :-(. I have created a very simple (500 poly) night table, exported inside 3dsmax 2011 AND 2014, with Binary 2011/2013 formats, and when I import it into Editor, it just crashed and says “Sorry for inconvenience”.

Very disappointed. I have tried importing some old FBX’s from internet and they work fine… Could it be it’s not liking 3dsmax FBX export?

Update: It imported OK without materials or textures! Now I’m looking into why JPGs I’m using won’t import. I’ll try TGAs and PNGs.

Unreal Engine deals better with TGA, don’t use JPEG.
Don’t forget to optimize your textures too,by eliminate unused alpha channel when possible and right DXT to right occasion.

same issue here.
it’s same name in material and mesh.
change it and will work fine

Hey,

In addition to jjacques and EduCazev’s suggestions, I’d like to point you to our FBX Content Pipeline documentation:

Lots of information there for exporting FBXs into UE4 accepted files.

Hope that helps!

Hello,

Thank you for your report. I attempted to recreate problem by importing an FBX with jpeg materials, but was unable to get crash. Could you please go into project’s [Project Name]/Saved/Logs folder and retrieve log file that was created at time of crash? That will allow us to further investigate issue.

Cheers!

Hello to,

i have same Problem. It doesn’t matter what i choose. FBX Import crashes Editor. I can Export mesh without Animation or with, but it’s allways same. I’ve checked all: Material (there is no), Animation and all other things.

What is Problem? I don’t know what to do. I documentation. But it’s not really helpfull.

THANK YOU!!! I could not for life of me figure out why it kept crashing, and this was answer! Just added _texture to end of texture file, and it imported with no problems! Thank you!
