Level Design Importing Staic meshes with multiple textures?

[shadowwill]

So here the thing i need to do. I have a static mesh of a building with a large chunk taken out by a bomb blast or something. I need to be able to apply 3 textures to it in the editor, in display>skins. I have done this with many official static meshes, for example i can mix and match textures by adding a different skin in the display settings of the mesh. SO with this building, I need to be able to apply 3 textures, one concrete or brick for the exterior, one texture for the broken part of the wall and one texture for the interior. Would anyone be able to lend assistance here?

Cheers,

place the mesh, then convert it to brush. Then re-apply the correct textures. Then convert back to mesh.

Thats not the way to do it. I need to specify that the mesh has several skins.

export the sm, let ppl download it, once they can look at it they can tell you how to do it.
at least post some screenshots of it.

i just used that as an example plus showing you images wont help. All i need to know is how specify that the mesh can have 3 separate textures applied and used together, it IS possible.

if you still have the model file just apply textures on it in the model program then export & import into unreal leave the name of the textures the same and The textures will be applied like you dit in the model program.

I dont think you can apply multiple textures like this to a mesh made in unreal ed, I do it in an 3d Program, then importing it to unreal ed let me apply that much textures I chose in the program.

Edit: Isnt Fel right? If you convert your mesh to an bsp you can apply all the textures you want and convert it back to mesh..

i wrote a tutorial on this a while back:

Unreal ed 3? Could i continue my map which I started in Kfed in Unrealed3?
It looks so nice and handy.

KF is unreal editor 3 (unreal engine 2.5), might be a bit weird but the editor version isn't linked to the engine version

unreal editor 3 is the same as unreal editor 2.5 (kfed) ?

Killing Floor is Unreal engine 2.5, but unreal editor (the mapping sdk tool version, 3.0), That is like any UE2.5 game out there.

Any Unreal engine 2 or UE 2.5 game runs on the Unreal Editor 3.0

Unreal engine 3 uses Unreal Editor 4.0

I don't know what program you used to make the building but the way i do it is as follows. I use maya, so if i were to apply 3 textures to my model i would make 3 materials in maya and then assign them to the faces i want them on. Once i got it looking right in maya, i export it to unrealed. Once it goes into unrealed and you look at the static mesh you'll see that it has three material slots in the mesh info. Now whatever you put in those slots will affect the uv's you mapped them for so that's all you need to do.

I used 3DsMax seeing i got a legal license for that, a license to build...

And your summary is exactly what the tutorial is about, but then explained step by step for beginners. ^^

Yeah i have this sorted now, was very simple yet i thought it wasnt the way to do it. All i did was applied 3 random textures to the model in 3dsmax, then imported it and i had the option of 3 skins.
