Import Asset

Pipeline > Import > Import Asset

The Asset importer allows you to import assets then run a series of operations on them to fix them. The series of operations run on the imported asset depends on what source application you select from the drop down. A source application is the application the original file was generated in. Currently, the supported source applications are Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5.

After the selected FBX file is imported the imported action location f-curves are scaled up to a match the scene scale factor with a scale of 1, the objects are applied with a scale factor of 1. The scaled keyframes on the root object are removed, and the keyframes are rounded to the nearest integer based on the current frame rate.
