A substance Painter plugin which export textures and automatically import them into an opened Unreal Editor project. It created a connection between SP and UE and sends command to UE to import the textures.
In Substance Painter, go to Window > Views > Send To Unreal Engine (a panel will open).
The first combobox let you select the Unreal Editor to send the texture to (in case you have more than one Unreal open). It displays the name of the Unreal project, and the ID to connect to.
The second combobox let you select which export presets to use. Those are hardcoded for now.
'Export path' defines where the texture will be exported on disc before being imported in UE. This could be any temporary folder.
'Asset Name' is not use for now.
'UE Content Path' defines where to import the textures in Unreal Content directory. Where /Game/ means the 'Content' folder in the Unreal project. You want to always import the texture in the same folder for your preview to update automatically.
You can use Ctrl+Shift+U to do the export.
The plugin could be configure through environement variables.
