Modtools

Developer: Quentin Steinke

Download Free

Transfers position and rotation from Blender or Maya to Unreal Engine while preserving pivots.

What Modtools does

ModTools helps move assets from Blender and Maya into Unreal Engine without losing pivot points. It transfers position and rotation data, works with groups while keeping them editable and combines objects during export.

Transforms can be zeroed out on export, so objects are repositioned in Blender, Maya or Unreal. Materials are assigned automatically based on names. It suits level artists building modular environments in Unreal. Day to day, that covers pivot-preserving transfer to Unreal, group support with combine on export and zero out transforms on export.
