• Blender is a free 3D modeling program. See also Autodesk Maya, 3d Max, Lighwave 3D, ...

...... Export models in the .FBX file format: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Static_Mesh_from_Blender#Overview

...... The basic unit in Unreal is 1 cm. Set blender to this by selecting an object, then go to properties, scene, units and set length: metric and unit scale: 0.01 (down from meter to cm), save your startup file in the file pull-down menu. No faces in UV unwrap can be overlapping (sorry, that is an .fbx file thing with UE4), Set the objects Pivot Point to (0,0,0) center of the world rather than center of mesh object. Build your model facing to the + x axis (global). {Blender defaults to -y}
