how did you export, and what channel is the lightmap uv;s on and what channel is your texture uv's

JolyGrnGint · May 2012

lightmaps are on channel 1. (maya starts at 0). and my texture uvs are on channel 0. Im exporting through FBX.

ah all is right there, and i can see from your maya shot there are no overlaps and flipped shells, so that isnt it either.

does this happen with other things you export too udk, like try sending a basic cube in with 2 uv sets.

I had similar pb with 3ds max, just create a new UV set in a new channel. Be sure you change the channel of your static mesh to accept the new one

Possibly bringing an obj of your mesh into maya 2011 and giving .ase a shot might be a possibility as well.

ya tried both and no go. i auto mapped it in udk and they came out great tho. not as good as doing it by hand but alas ill just have to keep trying to get it to work
