Making Meshes Independent for Vertex Painting?

zombieminteractive

Hi everyone,
I am making a room with wall pieces that are copy's of the same static mesh.
When I vertex (try to) paint every one also receives it like they are not copy's but more like instances.

Does anyone know how I could prevent this from happening so I can make different details on different parts of the room?
Thanks

Make sure your vertex color data is set to the actor option instead of asset (at the top of the mesh paint toolbox).

When I have that selected instead of the asset it does not paint at all of the static mesh -err frustrating udk- =p

I recently found that using a vector transform and a vector set to 0, 0, 1 (the z up shader base) as a lerp's alpha will make UDK completely ignore vertex color. Make sure your shader isn't doing any fancy pants tricks -- plug your vert color right into diffuse to see what it is doing, then use that result to do other stuff.
