Megascans/Bridge Addon Alternative

Hi yall- I’ve always had bad luck with the Megascans Bridge to blender addon. I think Epic stopped support.

So I decided to have a pleasant fight with ChatGPT to make me an alternative to bridge, aimed at importing Megascans.

I really hope a python wizard on the forum can fancy things up. Also whoever calls dibs can add their name to the author section. Just share any updates <3

Maybe because of the “merge” into fab.com ?? The also seem to re-activate the possible asset access for some time ??

They re-activated it indeed. but the blender plug-in/addon they provide barely works. I think they discontinued support for it

Corrrect, already since Blender 3.6 and after the node changes on the materials in the newer versions of Blender.

The thing that isn’t working for the script right now is the creation and links to the various textures on the new material node names. If ChatGPT can fix that, you’re there.

Now with the ‘legalization’ of Megascans assets in other 3d apps than Unreal, hopefully they will create new versions of the import tools. But I’m not getting my hopes up :wink:

I am working on an addon for blender : https://github.com/cgmaterial/fab-to-blender
I will make a new release soon, meanwhile anyone interested can test it by downloading the repo.

This is quite functional. Thanks for putting it together! I wonder if there is a way to import entire categories or collections at a time.
