Member Sladus Posted July 6, 2014 Member Share Posted July 6, 2014 Does anyone else have problems importing fbx files into UE4? I import the fbx, color, and normal maps and almost everything has at least one black spot on it after rebuilding lighting. Other than the black spot, everything looks awesome.

Carlosan Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 hmmm... is it any hidden geometry ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member FreezeFrame Posted July 8, 2014 Advanced Member Share Posted July 8, 2014 hmmm... is it any hidden geometry ? Oh Great!! I notice the hidden geometry when deleting faces from auto-po. Not sure if they are placed there before deleting or after. I'm sure it's a good thing though to check off, weld vertices at the same point in case of underlying faces? maybe IDK!!. All this time I thought there was a centerline problem in 3D Coat, because of other posts and problems. Specifically the hidden geometry/ triangle problem at the symmetry line. It works fine in virtual mirror mode you can go past the line if in a hurry! Or no virtual mirror and snap to the line. Whats the problem!! Is there a way to check for underlying floating faces?

Member Sladus Posted July 10, 2014 Author Member Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) It may have been some hidden geometry, but I fixed it with playing around with the Lightmass settings in UE4. Looks good now. Thanks. Also, I don't know how to find hidden geometry. I'm very new to this. Edited July 10, 2014 by Sladus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member alvordr Posted July 11, 2014 Advanced Member Share Posted July 11, 2014 I've chosen to avoid UE4, so I can't specifically address that version, but in UE3 you can override the light map under the static mesh component. Light mapping your assets is often a good idea, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sladus 29 Jul @ 5:21pm Ok, so what I did that fixed it was, I checked the box- Overriden Light Map Res, and checked the box- Use Two Sided Lighting. The black spot was gone after that. Hope that helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
