Bringing Meshy models into Unreal Engine is usually smooth, but a handful of settings on export and import determine whether textures, seams, and scale come through cleanly. This checklist covers export settings, Unreal's import options, fixing texture cracks on GLB imports, scale and pivot correction, and using the Meshy Bridge plugin.

Export in FBX or GLB with textures included. FBX is generally the safer default for Unreal's static mesh and material pipeline, while GLB can require extra attention to texture seams (see below).

When importing, use Unreal's Import dialog to confirm the correct scale (Unreal uses centimeters), generate collision if needed, and import materials and textures alongside the mesh rather than skipping them.

Visible seams or cracks in textures after importing a GLB file are usually caused by UV seams not being padded correctly during export. Re-export with texture padding enabled where your export tool supports it, or adjust the texture's wrap/clamp settings in Unreal's material editor to reduce visible seams.

Since Unreal works in centimeters, models exported from Meshy at a different unit scale can appear too large or small, or with a pivot point that's not centered. Correct the import scale in the FBX/GLB import settings, and adjust the pivot in your DCC tool beforehand if precise placement matters.

The Meshy Bridge plugin lets you send models directly from Meshy into an open Unreal project, skipping manual export/import steps. If a model fails to import through the plugin, confirm the plugin is up to date and that your Unreal project is open and listening before sending.

If an import fails outright, check Unreal's Output Log for the specific error, confirm the file isn't corrupted by testing it in another viewer, and try re-exporting from Meshy in the alternate format (FBX instead of GLB or vice versa) as a next step.

This is typically a UV seam padding issue from export. Re-export with texture padding enabled if available, or adjust wrap/clamp settings on the material in Unreal.

Confirm the plugin is up to date and that your Unreal project is open and listening for the connection before sending the model from Meshy.

Unreal works in centimeters, so a mismatch in the exported unit scale can make models appear too large or small. Correct the scale factor in the FBX/GLB import settings.
