Laboratory w.i.p. - Questions

Blitzwood

I've been trying UE4 and I'm planning to send something to the Marketplace by the end of the year.
I created meshes in 3Dmax, exported and then created the materials on the engine.

My question is if anyone could please explain,
How do I "lock" this material to the mesh? Is there any way to make the mesh attached to a material?

I mean, everytime I use the mesh it comes without any material and then I have to apply one to it. It would be easier for someone using my stuff if it looks already textured.

If you simply doubleclick your mesh in the asset explorer window you will be able to edit your asset. There you can apply your texture, save it and then the your mesh will automatically default to your texture.

I remember trying it there ( double click - mesh) but  I'll check once again. Thank you very much.
Btw, still about the materials, anyone have a good fast/practical solution for the 1meter = 1 meter texture/mesh Unreal marketplace requirements, when using 3dmax?
I'll post some picture of what I'm working on tomorrow.

There's a lot of work to do in the textures/materials and some models weren't imported yet (like books and jars) but I did say I'd post a pic. WIP.

Here's a small video of how things look in the viewport so far. Any recommendations on the lightning I should use later?

Has anyone got anything for sale in the Unreal Marketplace?

Worked on the materials. Created more models. Created a new lighting.

What do you guys think?
