migrate command

Hi All,

I am having some issues with Migrating materials from one project to another. I cant figure out if I am doing something wrong or if this is the way the Unreal works?

I can successfully migrate materials and textures from scene A to scene B. But the issue is in scene B when I go to use a material that has texture maps in them, they need to be re assigned. So for
example, if it's a floor material with a wood texture in the base color channel and a texture in the normal channel they do not show up. So I have to replace the maps into their channels. 

Am I missing something or is this what you have to do when you migrate materials?


Thanks
Alex

is this perhaps the same issue i ran into once? - http://polycount.com/discussion/172035/how-to-merge-uasset-files-into-projects
i managed by creating my folder-structure behind unreal's back and reading the paths out of the binaries with a text-editor. as i recall the materials then magically found the textures.

Yes, I  think it's the same issue. I, unfortunately, don't understand exactly what you did to solve the issue. You wouldnt happen to have a tutorial or example?
Thanks

it's just something i stumbled upon really. i would just try opening up those material uasset files in a text editor and there you'll find the texture paths. if you recreate that structure within your own project in explorer, populate it with the texture assets in the right folders and then load up your project in unreal it should work. alas i only did this once and it's been a year since...
