SubstancePlugIn
Overview
This is a brief tutorial to help users who want to install the Allegorithmic Plug-In for Unreal Engine 4 to allow them to use Substance in UE4. These instructions have been tested and are working as of March 5th 2015 and on versions 4.7.0 + of the Unreal Engine and with Plug-in Version 4.7.0.5. For earlier versions, these instructions may work but have NOT been tested, please see the forums listed below for precise instructions with earlier versions.
Plug-In Referernce Pages on the UE4 and Allegorithmic Forums:
GitHub
These instructions assume you want to get the most current version of the Plug-In from a Source Location with the Engine Source.
Find the Version of the Plug-In which works with the Engine Version you are using. Normally there is an updated plug-in version for each Full version of the engine and are denoted by the Engine Version number followed by an iteration number (4.7.0.5). Follow the Source Link.
