New foliage questions

ZacD

Any figure out how to get it to work with static meshes? it works fine on bsp objects in my scene, but not having much luck otherwise, and sometimes my erasing would get rid of some of the foliage.

just drag static meshes from the content browser into the foliage tool.

I meant painting onto static meshes, not painting with.

ah sorry, will test that out, i was olny testing with bsp and terrain. going to bring in some terrain i made in maya and see if i can paint it.

edit: i was able to paint ontop of meshes, it just didnt work well on complex geometry, tried testing on a rock that came with UDK and it wasnt working at all and i just imported in a simple plane and was able to paint on it fine.
