Issue 10905
Issue with the recent plugin version for UE5.3
I installed the plugin properly and downloaded a basic Camila character. If I drag the skeletal mesh into any Map, it looks great. However, if I double-click the skeletal mesh to view it in the 'preview' screen, the skin is glowing. Is this a plugin bug? If I do the same steps on any prior version of UE5 with this plugin, there is no issue at all.
Update: The issue happens when I import using 'HQ Shader' but not when I use 'Standard Shader'.

As Molly pointed out, the issue is much improved. I think UE made some changes in version 5.3.2. My issue was noticed during 5.3.1.
In my humble opinion, CC4 characters still look 'off' in preview screens compared to placing them in a map. Notice a very abrupt border between skin that is hit by light, and skin that is in the shadow. Anyhow, lets call this one Solved, thank you.

Here is a link to a basic UE5.3 project I just created. It has 2 models, one with HQ Shaders, and one with Standard Shaders. It has the latest Auto Setup for Unreal Plugin. Only the HQ Shader model has the issue. And remember, it only happens when you are in the default UE5 preview screen for skeletal mesh files.
