Need help texturing 3DS max Architectural visulisation in udk?

[Hein Pienaar]

Hi all!

Whenever I import a architectural model from 3ds Max, it is imported as a single model. How do I texture the walls, etc individually? This is the first time I am importing my own models.

Please help me

You need to UVMap your model.

And doing a whole building as one model is generally a bad idea. You'll not have much space to texture on, and lots of other issues.

Texturing is done in a photo editing program. Not UDK.

Thanks,Will Photoshop work in this regards?

Yes. When you have UVMapped your model, you can export the result as an image, and use that as a map for how you texture.

Pre-apology for the possible offenses.
People keep linking to these Modular building tutorials and IMHO they really aren't good for Arch Viz. Arch-viz is usually based on CAD and is REQUIRED to be built to exacting measurements. Modular is great then you need to base a lot of things off of a grid pattern like chest-high walls or for flexibility when editing and iterating for gameplay.
There's good stuf in these videos relating to texturing and modeling, etc. However it's NOT a good way to organize your scene.
With that said, I prefer to build out everything like a bunch of static meshes: SM_LivingRoomWalls, SM_KitchenWalls, SM_Kitchen_Ceiling, generally split by material and location. This also makes dealing with texturing etc. easier than trying to unfold an entire house in the UV editor :P
