Hey everyone, I was wondering if there is a possible way to change/replace the material on some of the already in place models in UDK. In reality I just want to replace them with a grey material so I can study smoothing groups of things like rocks as I want to see how epic dose it to maintain the nice hard edge look…
Hi there again Shrike :) The thread is clearly splitting into two topics so I'll comment on both separately. - - - - - On tech As stated in the recent posts above, the other factor you absolutely have to take into consideration is triangulation.

I agree with you there. It's always a case to case judgement. And splitting/hard edges generates more vertices, still the texture will be a lot more "reusable" if there aren't as many huge gradients on the shells in the texture. If you have a few pretty basic shapes in your texture you'll be able to reuse those a lot…

Some trades have very specific names for curves (so it can vary depending on who you're talking to) but the concave area where the wall and the sink meet is generally called a fillet. The convex areas on each side in the front of the sink are generally called rounded (radiused) corners or…
