Hey Automation Universe, I’ve got a load of video tutorials incoming. Keep posted here for updates to new video series.
My latest video is a basic introduction to the modding tools you’ll need to start modding with Blender 2.8. I’ll also keep links in here to downloadable resources you can use.
You can now download my blender 2.8 startup file here;https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CPfAd9qxsAJl-ewWKg8v8T1ErHOUe9Yn/view
And here’s a quick video explaining what it is;
Now available, a Rim Mod tutorial

I’ve also got a couple video streams on making car bodies, and I expect to be doing another car body stream next week, so stay tuned!

So the whole first portion of the fixture modding series is done and uploaded to YouTube. The link is in the top post in this thread.
Part 1 covers just the tolls you’ll need to start modding.
Part 2 shows off the .blend file I’ve made available for you guys to use, it contains some base materials for fixtures, and car bodies. It also contains a wheel template for measuring out rim mods.
Part 3 is a beginner focused walk-through of how to make a very basic grill mod.
Part 4 covers working in Unreal engine, setting up materials, blueprints thumbnails and sharing your mod.
Part 5 covers the Steam Workshop publishing tool.
Also, the grill is available on the Steam workshop.

I’ve never thought about trying to create a mod before. But with your tutorial, I think I might give it a try.
edit: Your post is only the 2nd I’ve ever bookmarked. I don’t use it frivolously.
Just uploaded the sixth video to the Fixture mod watchlist.

@HardRooster , thanks for the effort you’ve put into modding and, especially, for these tutorials.
I’ll have a go at modding again, I did some popular ones in Kee, but I’ve been wary about trying it under UE4.
More videos available now, How to mod a headlight, and a rim.

A new stream project is now finished and ready for your vewwing enjoyment. Make sure to check out at least the first video. I totally hammed it up with a Cinematic score and lots of stupid text effects. Enjoy!

I did everything in video, but the packing failed. Here is the error:
And there are many more errors in the log…
Can you put all the errors in red in a plain text document, zip it up and attach it here?
Yep, if we can get the full error we’ll look into it.
Any help?
LogDerivedDataCache: Error: Could not save memory cache …/…/…/…/…/…/Program.
I could reduce it to one error message, but I can not get any further…
LogDerivedDataCache: Error: Could not save memory cache …/…/…/…/…/…/Program.
Are you using 4.21.2? That looks like a pretty common problem with people downloading 4.22
If not that, make sure you’ve installed UE4 close to your root drive (For example, I use c:Dev/Unreal) And make sure you put the Automation folder from the SDK there as well. Long file paths can break UE4. It’s a good rule of thumb for running anything development related on or close to the root drive (UE4 is a development environment)
Could i put the DEV and SDK folders into the UE folder?
I have a Dev folder on the C drive, and everything is inside that. You can arrange it pretty much however you want, but that’s the basic idea, just have a folder on your C drive for anything development related.
Thanks much!
