Importing assets to Unity from the store, and exporting to Unreal

I recently had to find 3d models for a game me and my group in a game design class were working on. One of my group members mentioned I look on the Unity asset store for 3d models. So I took a look and found plenty of quality made models.
It is very easy to find anything you want, and even find things that are free. So once you find what you are looking for you simply click on the asset and when you are on that assets page, you click the add to downloads button if it's free or add to cart if it is not. You will need a Unity account to download these assets which is free and also you will need a version of Unity installed on your computer which is also free.
After you download the asset you can go into Unity and view your asset. After this you now need to go find the folder that has your assets. I found mine in my documents folder under what I named my Unity project. All you have to do is copy the fbx and paste it into your content folder in your Unreal project if you have one.
Once all that is done just open Unreal and the asset should be in your content browser. Importing and exporting from Unity and Unreal is very easy as you can see. This makes it very easy for people to make their own game.
