Export Assets from Unreal

I had an issue where a texture coudn't be exported from Unreal. It doesn't have the "Asset Actions -> Export" menu entry at all.

Just copy the reference from unreal in the second line, and change the output line. Run this in Output Log, then select "Python" on the left dropdown.

import unreal

texture = unreal.EditorAssetLibrary.load_asset('/Game/Test/Character/Textures/Hair1.Hair1')

exporter = unreal.TextureExporterPNG()

task = unreal.AssetExportTask()

task.set_editor_property('object', texture)

task.set_editor_property('exporter', exporter)

task.set_editor_property('filename', 'C:/Output/Hair1.png')

task.set_editor_property('replace_identical', True)

task.set_editor_property('prompt', False)

task.set_editor_property('automated', True)

unreal.Exporter.run_asset_export_task(task)
