Datasmith imports each of these triangular meshes as a single Static Mesh Asset. Similarly, every deformer is baked to a single triangular mesh based on the final state of the deformer. When you save your Cinema 4D scene for Melange, every generator in your scene is baked down to a single triangular mesh that represents the total procedurally generated geometry of the object. Alternatively, you can put the objects you want to omit into their own layer, then use the Layers panel to hide all objects in that layer. You can use the Objects panel in Cinema 4D to hide the objects individually. The Datasmith importer does not import geometry of hidden objects into Static Mesh Assets, and does not include them in the Datasmith Scene hierarchy.
If you have objects that you don't want to import into Unreal Engine at all, hide them in Cinema 4D before you save your. In this case, the Datasmith import will produce a single Static Mesh Asset for the combined mesh, but the connected pieces remain as separate objects in Cinema 4D. See the Cinema 4D documentation.įor more flexibility, you can use the Connect Object in Cinema 4D to combine objects that are closer than a given threshold value into a single mesh. You can use the Connect Objects command in Cinema 4D to merge two objects into a single object. Click for full image.īecause of this rule, you can influence the granularity of the Static Mesh Assets and Actors that Datasmith creates by merging objects in Cinema 4D before you export. Right: Imported Static Mesh Assets in Unreal Engine. Left: Original scene objects in Cinema 4D.
