Need Help on mesh

[Champion]

hi ...dont know where to put this text but hey

im using 3dmax8 and ive made some object meshes with material on them
i export the mesh and then import the ase file in ued3
but it has lost its material.....
i dont know how to get the material with it in ued3

please any1 help.....

Have you applied a UVW map to it in 3DS MAX?
Even without the mapping, the mesh will still retain the UVW co-ordinates, but as a default for the shape in which the mesh is.

This might be a silly question, but have you imported the textures, made it into a material and applied it to your imported mesh?

yes ive created the material......
but the only way i can apply the material to the object is by putting down the static mesh down and go in the properties and select material

but that would mean doing it to every mesh i put down
i must be missing sumthing

I've noticed a bug with SM's once in a while when importing them with this same problem. When you try and apply a material the slots won't drop down.
I've just closed down the mesh window and re-opened it and it's worked fine.
