how do i copy pics from another website and put them in my project?
You mean import in editor or in runtime?
um i am trying to make a pederestian crossing sign and need the sighn pic-
it shoud not be able to have an actor go through
in both editor and runtime
pleas awnser i am short on time
someone???
just download the picture to your computer, then in the editor, click the button: Import and choose the picture you downloaded
Unreal will import it to you project.
i will try that!
wait i dont see it
when i inport it it dosent show up
wat to do?
To get a picture from a website into the engine:
1.) Download and save it to your computer.
2.) Open the image in an image editor like Photoshop or Gimp (Gimp is Free)
3.) Resize the picture to a size that is a power of 2 number. 512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048
4.) Save the image in a format that is optimal for the engine. I always go with .TGA for this.
5.) Import the image into the engine.
This will give you a texture sample but it will not yet be something you can use on a model.
To make that into a usable material that you can apply to the surface of a game model
1.) right click in empty space in the content browser
2.) select create new material open the material. and leave it open in the background
3.) navigate to the texture that you imported in the content browser
4.) select your texture
5.) with your texture selected go back to the material you had opened,
Hold the “T” key and click anywhere on the graph
6.) Drag a wire off of the little node that just showed up and plug it into diffuse
7.) Save the new material
Now you can apply it to any model
That is the simplest way to do it. But you can spend a lifetime refining just those steps to make it better.
You Mentioned:
“um i am trying to make a pederestian crossing sign and need the sighn pic- it shoud not be able to have an actor go through”
If you want an intelligent don’t walk sign that changes colors and prevents an actor from crossing a street. That is really an entirely separate question and should be posted separately. After you have successfully got the image setup the way you want it.
i meant the vehicle should be able to run into the sign and not run through it
haha, ok then
i cant download anything for a while and the photo does not show up in the content browser…
wat to do
@FilipeTessaro
