Multiple Textures on the Ground?

taylorc38

Hi all, this is my first post and I thank you for reading/helping me out.

First of all, I'm pretty new to UDK. I just taught myself a bit about the basics of landscape editing, but a problem has sprung forward: how does one make the ground sandy in some places and lush in others?

Here's a reference: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OS9zPvvHNA"]Oasis - UDK - YouTube[/ame]

I suspect there's a way to sort of layer landscape, but after scouring the Internet I haven't found much information on it. I would like to avoid 3DS/Maya/what have you, can this be done in just UDK with default materials?

Thanks, that's sure to help. However, every time I try to import a texture (my file is a targa), it says Import Failed. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

is your texture a power of 2? aka, 128x128 - 256x256 - 512x512 - 1024x1024, etc?

Make sure your textures are using RGB color and not CMYK.

Also make sure the images are 8 bit and not sixteen bit.

Oh yeah, thanks guys. It was the power of 2 thing, got my imports working. Many thanks!
