Hey @CASG 🙂
I have answered your DM as well, but can send it here as well
Do you mean the button I click here in the video does nothing?🤔
What UE version and what Dash version are you on? 🙂
Fyi, our current Megascans view in the Dash Content Browser only supports MS from the UE-Bridge Plugin. It can't show MS downloaded from FAB, but we are working on a separate FAB integration 🙂
Hey man I was able to fix it. Idk why it works now. I was able to get my atlas path folder. And set the megascans folder path as well.
I have Ue5.4
And lastest version of Dash.
Now the new issue is that i Downloaded a lot of assets, about 5k assets are in my hardrive. But even since Bridge updated with Fab, all those downloaded assets are in a seperate path but still in the megascans bridge “downloaded folder.
when setting the Bridge folder path for the atlases folder it doesn’t seem to recognize the other old asset folders like the: Brush, 3d, Plants, Surfaces, folders only the Atlas folder appears in the content browser, and also it recognizes recent assets I downloaded from Bridge inside Dash, and when I do download something new from Bridge the download goes to a new UEasset path folder ? Instead of the old one?
Sorry if my issue is so convoluted . I feel like I’m getting close, to solving this. I have yet to actually use Dash, until I am sure I can see the rest of my content in the browser viewer.
Thanks !
Nice to hear that! @CASG 🙌
No worries, I will try my best to help you sort this out!
When you say you only see the atlases, this is maybe cause you have downloaded atlases and other MS assets from the standalone Bridge software? Dash does only support Atlases from the standalone Bridge software. The reason is because atlases is not accessible from the UE-Plugin Bridge version. And it is from the UE-Plugin Bridge which we support the other MS assets.
So ye, you have two paths in the Path Settings, one to the UE plugin Bridge and one to the Standalone Bridge software (for atlases only). And the way this is setup is that the Bridge plugin assets is fetched from the UAssets folder and the atlases (Bridge Software) is fetched from the Downloaded folder.
If you have some assets downloaded from the UE-Plugin Bridge in one location, and now when you download new assets from UE-Plugin Bridge they go to another, you need to change the settings in UE-plugin Bridge. I am not even able to download new stuff from Bridge so can't record a video for you 😕 But if you have stuff downloaded from UE-Plugin Bridge in separate folders, you should be able to merge the folders together and then set the new merged one in the path settings of Dash.
I hope this helps! If it does not, maybe we can do a call, but it depends a bit on your timezone? I am in Sweden so the messages you sent above were at 2AM for me 😕
