Material not visible on the skeleton mesh (mobile Placeble pawn )

[Xtazyatu]

Hello everybody , i have imported a skeleton mesh and some textures for it. i have set up a material with those textures and applied them to my skeletal mesh. In the editor they show up correctly but when i run the mobile previewer or deploy the game to my iPhone the material isn't visible on the pawn. i have build the lighting with production quality and used lightmass

here are the screenshots from the editor and the mobile previewer

Thank you

When you setup the material, are you using the visual material editor, or applying them to the slots in the properties?

Mobile does not support materials made using the visual editor.

Also remember to save the package before testing.

Remember to check the Used By Skeletal Meshes within the Usage flags category.

Auto Flatten Mobile ?

Auto Flatten Mobile ?

checking this options made my materials show up in the mobile previewer and also inside my iphone.


thank you for that .

It's been our team's experience that auto-flatten mobile causes some huge differences when applied to complex skeletal meshes. It's not bad for the pipeline of static meshes, but we don't believe it's a best practice. Like for instance, the lighting is baked into her boots and it looks bad. I'd be interested if it looks comparable to whatever 3D program you're using.

I would have to say that it look exactly like in 3ds max, the program that i exported the model from.. Please take into consideration that this is a very low poly model and the textures are also of low quality

i come back with a simple question, When i apply the auto-flatten material to a static mesh actor, it causes a crash in the app with the message that the bulk size doesn't matc the calculated size.

here is the exact message:

assertion failed: EffectiveSize == (UINT)MinMap.Data.GetBulkDataSize()Texture 'dasdas.texture.stone6', mip 0, has a BulkDataSize [131072] that doen't match calculated size [65536]. Texture size is 512x512, format 5.

Do you know why this is happenning?
