Answered: Texture or asset problem? UE 4.13 & Megascans

Hirudo89

Hi! So, got a little asset test projekt going, started with UE 4.12.5 and everything was fine. 
Then i switched to UE 4.13, and now every new asset i put in got a problem with the textures. 

Roughness and gloss works fine, but Normal is not effecting anything and the Albedo is, well, off.
Texture on flat plane looks normal though. 

When i put the same Mat on a different asset, its working as expected.
As i said, in UE 4.12.5 its working, so there must be a change i do not see. Not in the import settings though, i checked that already.

Look at attached images for ref. 

Hope someone can help me out!

Something is börked on Epic's side of this equation. We've had other users mention this to us as well. As far as I'm aware, the only thing you can currently do about this is roll back to an older version of UE4 until they fix mesh UVs on import. Sorry about that - you'll want to follow up with Epic to see a resolution to this issue.

Thanks for the fast reply! Thats really unfortunate but ok. I hope they'll fix it soon...

Can you check the mesh UVs by double clicking the mesh in content browser and turning UV view on and see how that's looking?

Well, in UE 4.13, the UV's are not there, whereas in 4.12.5 they are. Looks like the UV's are not importet at all. 
I compared the import-settings, no problem there. So like Mr. Holmes said, its a problem Epic has to fix unfortunately...
