Export .obj from ue4 to max with materials

mobpapst

Hey guys,

i want to export my landscape out of ue4 as obj and import it in 3ds max with the materials. the export as obj works but i don't get a mtl file. when import the obj in max i get the message that the mtl file is missing. How can i export my landsacpe with materials and bring it into 3ds max?

thanks

Export using .fbx with a standard max mat applied. Check the relevant box on import to ue.

I think they want the reverse... export from UE4 to Max.

I googled "export my landscape out of ue4 as obj and import it in 3ds max" (your words!) and got some results. Check out the first hit (answers.unrealengine.com), it's about going to Maya, but it should apply to Max as well. Have you tried the method they mention?

Exporting and importing the mesh itself is not the problem here. my problem is that the landsacpe texture wont be exported with. So i just have my blank landscape in 3ds max but i need the textures.

The blend map is called a Splat Map. Have you tried searching with this term? I would try variations on "unreal splat export" or "unreal landscape texture export".
