Lesson Summary

In this lesson, we covered:

• How to add an asset from the Marketplace to our project.
  

What did we do?

✅ Updated for UE 5.4

⚠️ In October 2024, the new marketplace platform FAB, launched which changed how you import assets from the Marketplace. At the time of writing this (9/11/2024) the paragon asset, Aurora, has not been added yet, so it's recommended to use another character. Let me know in the community page when the Epic Team adds Aurora.

Add the Paragon: Aurora character (After FAB)

• Save and close the project and open the Epic Games launcher and go to Library tab.
• Scroll down until you find the Fab Library section and search for Fab.

• Install the Fab UE Plugin for the engine version you are using if you don't have it yet.

• Open your project again and you will find a Fab button in the Content Drawer and in the Window → Fab menu. Click on it.

• Search for Paragon and choose a character that is to your liking.

• Click on one of the characters and then click on Add to Project.

• The character will be downloaded and then added to your project automatically.

You can also browse the FAB website and check for the free content that is added for a limited time each month. If you add assets to your library, they will also show up in your Library tab inside the Epic Launcher under the Fab Library category.

Adding assets from the Epic Games launcher is similar to how we added assets before FAB.

Add the Paragon: Aurora character (Before FAB)

• Open the Unreal Engine launcher and go to the Marketplace tab (alternatively you can go to Window → Open Marketplace).
• Search for Paragon: Aurora in the search box
• If you haven't used the character before, click on the Free button
• Click on Add To Project, and select the project where you need to add the character.
• If your project is not showing up, click on the Show all projects checkmark, search for your project, and then select the latest version available of the asset.

• If the launcher asks you to Overwrite Files, just click on Yes.
