Coping uassets is only solution (other then migration tool, but it does essentially the same thing) they small size because they not containing textures which is helt in diffrent uassets which you need copy too , material uassets just refrence them (which also means you need to hold the same path structure)
Hi everyone,
Currently i am working on materials.
I want to store ready-to-use materials in an archive folder and want to use them later.
That means i need a solution for creating materials in a previous version of UE4 (atm 4.4) and
using them in a later version of UE4 (4.5+)
What is best workflow to handle this.
(Just copying uasset files cannot be the solution cause they have a small file size compared to the size of tga files that are used in the material)
Thanks in advance!
Thanks.
I think you also can keep older projects and just migrate materials to newer projects (with newer version).
In current engine version (4.17), there is an Export option for a material, which does an export in text format. However there is no import option… any idea?
There also a Migrate option, but this one also migrates dependencies which we don’t necessarilly want.
