I loaded up the texture file as instructed and selected the walls subdirectory. I selected the desired wall texture, then tried to select a wall to apply the texture to. Nothing turned blue as described in the tutorial. I am wondering if I must use some selection tool that was maybe not mentioned. This seems easy enough, but it is giving me th eblues:sour:

Try double clicking the wall first and it will turn blue then open the texture menu and click the texture picture. You'll see the texture pic get a border then it should show up on your wall.

hope that helps-----Bodaddy

Static Mesh

It appears to me you know what your doing with this editor. I have just started learning to use it and it seem's to be lots of fun. But I have one problem. Some of my Static Mesh's I create are "solid" and others I can walk through.
Do you know why this happens and if there is a way to fix it?

Example: I pulled the rocket launcher out of "WeaponStaticMesh.RocketLauncherPickup" package and made it a decoration in a large room. I was able to walk through it. Then from the same package I set a large RedeemerMissle and it was solid.

I've noticed about 3/4's the static mesh's I place in my room are walk through - ?

I appreciate anyones help.

although I am noobier than you, the one time (so far that I had to deal with that) I used the collision tool in the static mesh browser. Don't know how it all works yet but I will. Look in the forum for the same question, I think theres one about blocking and covering your mesh with another object that will cause collision. Sorry I'm not more help. But I know you can find your answer in here somewhere.:noob: -----Bodaddy

Hey I just found a great thing on the 3dbuz.com/vbforum/sv_home.php site. Go there and register then to downloads then scroll down to the unreal tut (just before the maya stuff, then you will find a world of help that you can take home with you. Hope that helps, I'm loading up on stuff 2 :up:

However, later in this tutorial, I'll highlight some methods to create a skybox without a static mesh

You say you will, but you never do.

this is really good and all but I would really apreciate links that give you a more specific and detail sites that have the subject "character design" insluding modeling,texturing and export to Unreal with Maya or 3ds max.
