Import fbx model from Cloud Storage on a mobile device

Hey,

I’m new to UE4 and this is my first project. This is a general question if something like this is possible.

I’m planning to develop an app which runs on a mobile device with iOS or Android. The user can control a model of a robot on his device. Is it possible that the user can exchange the model by himself. For example he puts a new model into Dropbox or so and can download it directly into the app and exchange the current model, so that he can control the new model.

The important questions are:

  • Can I access a Cloud Storage and download a model?

  • Is it possible to exchange the downloaded model with the current model? (The models are in fbx Format)

  • If its not possible to import a fbx Model at runtime, can I make a kind of DLC out of the fbx Model, which can be downloaded from Cloud?

Sorry for my bad English and thanks for your help :slight_smile:

Could you explain this a little bit? I can’t find any information about uasset or how to use them at runtime.
