Multiple Textures on one Mesh

acealmighty13

I may know the answer but unsure. If you create multiple textures for one mesh, is it doable to apply those different textures when the mesh is copied and placed in the same area, to give a pillar or other object a different look to keep the textures varied? I'm thinking I'd need to use Map Channel in the 3ds max UV Editor for multiple UV channels in UDK.

The simple route tells me to copy the mesh and apply the similar textures to those copies. In my head, this makes sense. ha ha

If I understand your question correctly, you could create a material with the texture inputs set as parameters. Then create a material instance for each different version and swap out the textures.

That sounds like it would work. I think I made a bigger deal out of this in my head than anything. I just didn't know if there was a way to do it and keep upk's sizes down.

Why don't you show us the scene, maybe we could point you in the right direction about how to simplify your textures?
