Title: mapping help ... materials not working
Post by: ray mysertio on December 26, 2007, 08:29:39 PM
hey all , merry xmas ... and happy ut3 lol.

well im in the process of making the first material shaders for a map im messin with ... now that everything but a shell is static mesh i can finally work the way i want .

so i created a nice material from diffuse color , specular , specular power , and normals ... looks rather incredible in the material editor ...

now when i apply the material to a surface and rebuild lighting it turns flat toned again ... some other people at beyond unreal forums are having the same problem .

does anyone know how to keep the detail in your material ?

[EDIT] well i used a dynamic setting in the point light and got something better but its still not close :

Looks like it isn't showing your specular. Can you post your material settings?

Strange.  It looks as though it got darker.
