Texture Issues.

[Evilmincer]

My first concern is the importing of textures.
I've tried several different variations.
png, targa, raw,
All of my textures are using the power of 2.
Yet every single one of my imports fail. WHY?

Second concern is when editing my terrain.
I use the tree, just like the tut shows, yet it does not (remove top layer to expose bottom layer)
Why is this happening?

"FYI" I followed the IntroToTerrain tut, and still no luck.

I can't help with terrains, but with textures i can i have been importing textures just 5 minutes ago and there is no crash, i have imported textures in targa format and the image size was 2048X2048 try this and see if it works i have also tried 1024X1024 before,

[Evilmincer]

Negative. Failed in all levels of image sizes.

Which version of UDK are you using ?

[Evilmincer]

I am using UDK3, The most recent download.

Are you using RGBA format for the targa files and saving them from photoshop as 24 bit or 32 bit?

[Evilmincer]

I tried 16/24/32 bit.
Standard tga files.
Nothing uploads. Getting very annoying.

It shouldn't be this difficult. Not in comparison to unity/hero/cry3

[JessieG]

Is the targa RGBA format though? 16 bit Targa's do not work. What is your exact process that you're trying? It definitely isn't this difficult to import textures so either your installation is corrupted or you're just doing something wrong in your process.

You need to use 8bit/RGB(a)

Easiest thing to do is to upload your texture somewhere for others to have a look at it.

Ok NEW PROBLEM with TEXTURING...

WHAT am I DOING WRONG here?

[JessieG]

Try to increase the lightmap resolution. That doesn't look like a texture problem, looks more like a shadow issue.

Thanks JessieG

It was indeed the lighting.
I used the wrong kind.
