Answered: From Bridge to UE4 Material not working

atomichavez

Hello guys, I've downloaded and imported several materials from Bridge to UE4 and depending on the object I apply the material instance it will work or not

• static mesh imported from datasmith: no
• static mesh actor: yes
• brush geometry: no

however, when taking the textures by themselves and building the material from scratch it will work on any situation,
here are some images showing to illustrate the problem:

in this image you can see the 3 type of objects the material instance obtained directly from Bridge was applied to, the static mesh imported from sketchup with datasmith is selected and the material wont show even after building the scene



this is the detail panel of the instance material 



this is the detail panel of the master material



any help would be appreciated

I've also had this issue with 3D assets; asset imports but the material instance doesn't select the imported textures and the mesh doesn't select its instance of the material. I posted to the quixel discord tagging Adnan (the main dev behind the UE4 plugin) last night but haven't heard back yet. 

Pretty sure we could just open up the script and see what's going on, this issue wasn't there in the last patch of the plugin.

Try deleting the standard master material and allow the script to rebuild it the next time you export. That might resolve this for both of you. If it doesn't, send in a ticket to support@quixel.se and our devs will look into this with you ASAP!,

I compare the material that created by myself with quixel bridge exported material,  change the option to No Tessellation will be ok!

Thanks wang_____yun!

Now how do we get tessellation to work?

I have the same problem when I use datasmith to import a model from Revit, it seems like any material with tessellation doesn't work on any of the static meshes imported from Revit. Does anyone have a solution for this?
