UDK custom colliison

JoshWilkinson

I'm trying to export a model with custom collision on an assets for UDK but am having some trouble. The asset is broken down into three materials, all named, and one collision mesh titled "UCX_collision". When I export it into UDK with fbx, the whole UCX mesh isn't visible in the previewer but the collision isn't enabled enither. What am I messing up?

Should also mention that the three materials are each their own mesh (as illustrated by Maya's outliner) not one single mesh,

it has to share the name of your static so its "UBX_turret"

But i have no idea what you mean by "broken down by 3 materials" The FBX plugin is combining all of your meshes so having them separated in maya is really doing much for you - so ultimately I don't recall if Unreal will recognize you have a collision, youre better off putting them all under a group naming that "Turret" and then having the "UBX_Turret"

put all your meshes in a group, name it something like turret and use ubx_ the ucx_ prefix on the collsion mesh.


if you still for problems you can save the collsion mesh to a seprate fbx and add it to the mesh, from the mesh viewer in udk

My way of doing it :



+ be sure to have "reference containers" option enabled during the export as an FBX file. Otherwise the UDK will not read the hierarchy correctly.

Thanks for the help, guys. Just needed to combine the three meshes into one and name the collision after the mesh, such an easy fix.
