metrons · Sep 2013

i'm coming from UDK where i could just assign a 3 color node and not need a texture. i have this asset that just needs a color on it. i cahnged the diffuse but it still sez 'replace texture' anyone know if i can just use a standard color or do i always need a texture?

You need to export the material itself from Max/ Maya. Otherwise it won' work.

Here check the docs. It is under Asset Creation

You always need the texture. If you don't want to waste resources, just use the default middle gray one which won't disrupt your diffuse color choices in any way. It's located in Textures/generic/default/gray.dds (or some path like that, sorry I don't remember precisely) and is a tiny 4x4px square. It's usually being used in most solid fill materials.
