Re-colour mesh parts

[hungrybutterfly]

Hello everyone! Newb alert.

My objective is to re-colour a specific body part on the default blue mannequin (from the Animation Starter Pack). I'd like use this to represent damage to the various parts.

I just have no idea where to start.

Hi,

- Create a new texture mask for the model, masking out the to-be-colored parts.
- Create a material with paramters that control th color.
- Apply the material onto the character.
- Change the color as desiired via BP
- ???
- Profit

Cheers,

Ok thank you. I'll see if I can make that happen.

I'm very sorry, I should have specified a c++ solution. I'll see how far I get with the BP solution first though.

Thanks!

Hi,

That could help you : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2XmTbfIJ3s
So instead of changing the color you could change the lerp value between a healty and damaged texture...

Someone has already made a texture map that i can just slap onto the mannequin.
