Written walkthrough

This one starts in Ünflat and finishes in Unreal Engine. It’s a project walkthrough: the model you built becomes a real asset in an engine.

1. Export the .glb from Ünflat

Export the .glb with the 🖌 Colors & paint chip on so the texture bakes in. You’ll get a single .glb on your device; that’s everything Unreal needs.

2. Import the .glb into Unreal

In Unreal, drag the .glb into the Content Browser. Accept the defaults; Unreal creates a static mesh, a material, and the texture in one step.

3. Hook up the baked color texture

Open the generated material and confirm the imported texture is wired to Base Color. Set the texture’s filter to Nearest so Ünflat’s crisp pixels stay sharp instead of going blurry.

4. Drop it into your level

Drag the mesh into your level. That’s it: your Flatling is now a prop you can light, script, and ship in a game.
