As far as I know the material is not converter, you have to create the material itself inside UE4 but, when you import, it allows you ( in the import option ) to create a material which if I remember correctly will contain both the diffuse and normal map
Regarding the FBX export from Softimage I made a videotutorial exporting a character using Species. Softimage to Unreal Engine 4 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvg-EABdkfQ> Anyway as long as you export a model ( you mean a mesh or a model as it is called inside Softimage? ) it should work properly, it usually have problems with multiple roots with characters. If you can upload the model, I'll take a look at it and see what is the problem ;) 2014-06-18 17:11 GMT+02:00 Williams, Wayne <wayne.willi...@xaviant.com>: > Unfortunately I’ve not updated to unreal 4 yet so won’t be of much > assistance with the problem.
