Importing custom characters to Fortnite Creative 2.0 is very easy

Many Fortnite Creative 2.0 maps have custom characters, such as Shrek or Mario. These characters can simply be added with Unreal Editor for Fortnite, although Epic Games doesn't allow players to use them due to copyright laws.

Keep in mind that your Fortnite account may get banned if you decide to use characters protected by copyright law.

If you are willing to take the risk, here are the steps you need to take:

1) Download your custom character

If you want to add a movie, anime, gaming, or any other character to your custom Fortnite map, you need a 3D model of it. You can either design this yourself, which takes a lot of time, or you can buy it or download it.

Sketchfab offers numerous 3D models that you can easily import into Fortnite Creative 2.0. Many of these models are free, but you can also buy higher-quality items.

Once you find the character you want to add to your map, make sure to download a .fbx file. This file type is supported by Unreal Editor for Fortnite so you won't have any problems with it.

2) Import the character

Once you've obtained a 3D file for your favorite movie or anime character, it is time to add them to your custom Fortnite Creative 2.0 map. You can do this easily by pressing the Import button and choosing the file you've downloaded.

Pressing the import button will open a new window that will let you select the file. You simply need to navigate to your download folder and choose the custom character.

3) Add materials, textures, colors, and more

When you're done importing your custom character, you will notice that the character looks unusual. This is because the 3D model has no colors or textures, but you can add those.

Unreal Editor for Fortnite offers a lot of different features and you can recolor any part of your custom character. However, this part can take a lot of time if you want a character with multiple details.

4) Check your custom character on the Fortnite Creative 2.0 map

Editing your custom characters for Fortnite Creative 2.0 is very time-consuming, but it's definitely worth it. Once you're happy with the character, you can open a game session and see what they look like in the game.

To do this, you simply need to press the Launch Session button on the top bar. This will automatically open Fortnite and load the Creative mode with your custom map and your favorite anime or movie character.
