Foliage not painting static meshes

HAWK12HT

Hi all, I am trying out the foliage in UDK and followed up the documents on EPIC. But when i start to paint it only paints on horizontal like flat surfaces (ground) but not on vertical surfaces in my scene.


Collisions are made in UDK for static meshes cause they are simple cylinders and box shapes.

Also i noticed its a little buggy, sometimes it show the sphere to paint and when i cntrl click nothing happens, and at times it dosent even show the sphere to paint on that same spot.

Any ideas how to paint smoothly on every surface in my scene?

Check the "Ground Slope" settings in the foliage tool - default value is 45°. 90°+ allows you to paint on walls and the like.

aha, thanks it kinda helped but with same random effect even with 320 angle. I am guessing it has to do with the collisions too on objects. I mean the collision need to be very tight around the object inorder for it to paint properly.
