- Unreal's binary files are a painful history of microchanges that lead to tons of branching paths that need to be supported. I might be fighting a losing battle. It is particularly hard for me to follow Unreal's source code, I can't promise anything in the future.
- Most testing has been performed on Unreal Engine 4.27 using free assets from the asset store. Assets saved with UE5 might work, but its unlikely. UE4 assets should still import into Blender from UE5 projects. If something isn't importing, I might be able to support it if you send a copy.
- Due to their complexity, materials are the most likely to fail to import. The importer will attempt to power through, but nodes may be missing or materials left unassigned.
- Skeletal meshes import as rigid meshes. The vertex groups are correct, getting the correct orientation of the bones is tripping me up so I'm excluding the armature for now.
- BSP and terrain is MIA, I may support this if requested enough.
