   Can anyone explain what a vector transform node in the material editor does? It seems to be changing the coordinate reference system? I've been teaching myself unreal materials while I get some of my stuff set up in it, and everything is really straightforward so far (instant feedback rules!), but I hit a block when I was…

   Yeah I used to think so too, lightmap UVs appear to like seams. I need to correct the images in my previous posts so no one else gets led astray. EDIT: Ok, fixed up my example image and post.

   Thanks Neox for that valve link! It's been quite helpful! :) I have a question though. What exactly is albedo? I did a google search on the term and it was defined as reflectivity. Though in that Valve paper it looks to be just diffuse shading. And the TF2 unreal shading example appears to be just a diffuse texture as…

   Is it possible to use 1 static mesh and switchable materials for it? For example, I have a window which is a static mesh, but I want to have one version where my emmisive is turned off, and the other is emissive turned on. I can re-import another window mesh into it and make it's own material, but I'd figure there should…

   Minotaur0 - Did you create a new decal material and not a regular material? I don't know if it will work with a regular material. Also make sure the decal "box" overlaps with whatever surface you are trying to project onto with the correct orientation. mLichy - Here is a basic cubemap I made. I used an alpha to mask the…

   Played around with the tips I got in here today and must say that it was a huge success. The thread is already paying off! (And I see it got stickied too! ) It feels like the editor is growing on me. There are some things i´m not happy with but that´s just because I haven´t found out how to do it yet. For example the…
