A collection of Blender addons from Epic Games that streamline the game development workflow between Blender and Unreal Engine. It includes Send to Unreal for one-click asset transfer and UE to Rigify for node-based animation retargeting.

Use cases

• send Blender assets to Unreal Engine with one click
• retarget animations onto Unreal marketplace character assets
• author new animations for Unreal characters using Rigify rigs
• set up a Blender to Unreal game asset pipeline
• export rigged and animated characters from Blender to Unreal

When to choose

• you use Blender for asset creation and Unreal Engine for game development
• you need to frequently transfer meshes, rigs, and animations between Blender and Unreal
• you want to retarget animations onto Unreal marketplace assets inside Blender

When to avoid

• you use a DCC tool other than Blender
• your pipeline does not involve Unreal Engine
• you need a general-purpose Blender exporter unrelated to Unreal
