easy as that, thank you!

Glad it helped!

Thank you very much. For once a simple and straight to the point tutorial. I was getting burned out with all the attention getters making things more complicated and convoluted for no reason. Thank you again, hopefully that will work for me. I am using building generator with a custom fbx and it compiles all the mesh together so I have a problem to assign texture slots.

[@sakibkhondaker]

Thank you. Hope my future tutorials will help you. I am always trying to simplify as much as possible.

ditch the music mate

[@RichardRiegel]

hm... I expected some multi-material application...(f.e. each side of the cube has different mat)...

[@sakibkhondaker]

You can follow the same process and add different materials for sides

[@RichardRiegel]

ahh..hmm.. this is an fbx export (which I skipped) .. Okay I'm interested about how it works with Houdini to UE via LiveLink.. When I connected Houdini's Tommy character example, (which has two materials f.e.) it works. But I can't figure it out, how to create material attribute (tags) for my own object. This standard way (like for claasic fbx export) not working for me...

[@sakibkhondaker]

@@RichardRiegel fbx material attribute will be added automatically if you add multiple materials. You can make different groups for the materials you want. And assign different materials for the groups.

[@RichardRiegel]

​@@sakibkhondaker yes.. This works for classic export / import to UE. But I tried to find the way how to do with LiveLink to UE. There I have a problem, because this method not working for me. When I create material groups on my own mesh and connect it to UE, It has always only one material slot. I don't understand why, because if I tried connect Houdini's Tommy, it works.

[@sakibkhondaker]

@@RichardRiegel I didn't try Livelink as I do everything manually. But you can maybe compare the Tommy model attribute and your model to see the difference. Also see if there is any missing option in iport/export.
