Datasmith Direct Link Workflows in Editor
summary
Datasmith 5.1 adds Direct Link for 3ds Max so scenes stream into Unreal Editor with either manual sync or Auto Sync and optional auto reimport; animation frames are not supported by Direct Link, textures use a 2K texture limit recommendation, and XRef scenes export is optional. Exported items keep overrides, a Datasmith modifier sets lightmap UVs/collision/proxy, status icons show connection state, the same exact Max file must be open to reconnect, and the demo shows lights, camera settings and material color change syncing successfully though V-Ray materials and path tracing are slow.
