Hey pc, This might be a newby question, but are epic running their "Make something unreal" tournament this year? If not, are there any similar indy tournaments around? Cheers
Oh, that screenshot is in UnrealED v2. Try using a projector, or softening up the shadows underneath the plants. I talked with a more experienced UnrealED mapper and he said it's probably not in UnrealED 3. I'll keep digging while I work on stuff.
Both just need to have the same name in Max and Unreal. When you import the model in Unreal after you've exported it, just make sure you've fully loaded your package containing your materials or Unreal will not find them.
How it's done in Unreal 3 http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/DevelopmentKitBuildUpgradeNotes.html#Unreal%20Landscape In this case, you simply cover the edges with meshes.
