Epic announce Datasmith, a multi-application importer for Unreal

Epic has announced Datasmith, a new workflow toolkit for Unreal Engine. Datasmith is designed to speed up the process of moving assets from over 20 CAD and DCC programs to Unreal by automating the conversion and importing of scenes, models and materials. 3DS Max is among the supported applications with support for converting entire scenes created using popular render engines including Corona and V-Ray. If you’re interested in testing Datasmith you can apply for beta access, or read more about it on the Unreal Engine website.
