## What it is
UE Viewer (umodel) is a desktop application for viewing and exporting visual resources (meshes, animations, textures, sounds) from games built with Unreal Engine versions 1 through 4. It supports over 300 game titles and exports assets to formats usable by 3D modeling software.

## Use cases
- view unreal engine game models and animations
- export skeletal meshes from ue4 games to gltf
- extract textures from unreal engine games
- browse game assets from fortnite or other ue titles
- convert unreal assets for blender or 3ds max
- inspect skeleton hierarchy and animations from game packages

## When to choose
- you need to view or extract assets from Unreal Engine 1-4 games
- you want to export meshes, animations, or textures to 3D modeling tools
- you need a free, cross-platform tool with broad game compatibility

## When to avoid
- you need to work with non-Unreal engine games
- you need a GUI on Linux (only command line is available there)
- you need to import assets back into Unreal Engine projects or edit them

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, graphics, parser, gui, cli
- domain: graphics, reverse-engineering, gaming-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cpp, cross-platform
