UDK Draws distance Madness

barnesy

Hey guys, I am having some issues in UDK with the draw distance. I have tried changing the draw scale of the head and it makes no difference to the result, It just makes the black hole bigger.





I tried to match the scale to that of other UDK characters/assets.

Any suggestions on helping me stop this madness would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

How big is this head exactly?
I have never had any issue like this.

typically with clipping its easiest just to scale the head way down or up.

Thanks for the suggestions, I did originally have the heads drawscale set to 5 times the original size but I was advised to reduce the size as I was told that it would effect the lighting and shadows etc :S

I might be stating the obvious, but how big is the head? Never used UDK myself but the times that I have run into draw distance issues it has been because my model is either massively huge or really tiny.

Check how big your asset is in your authoring package (Maya, Max, etc) and how big it is when you import it. Compare to existing UDK assets.

In Maya for example, with default units, a full body character should be centimeter = units. That is, 200 units high if 2 meters tall. You can also use half that size, I believe UT3 did that.

I've seen some people use 1 or 10 units = 1 meter and that is incredibly small when exported to UDK.
