why my tree leaves are horribly green instead of natural dark green. Tree is from speedtree 8 and it was fine in the ST8 but in ue4 it looks very bad. can anybody help? ![296217-highresscreenshot00010.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/5/6/c5619791fd4c8819756d85f8a15856737372fbd5.jpeg) ---

Can you show the texture and material? A fix would be to back off the saturation in the albedo texture. ---

Here is the material(basic speedtree mat) and the albedo ![296220-screenshot-194.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/c/c/cccc3c0002086dfcf124330d62e8eb38853ac088.jpeg) ---

Ok, first thing I’d try is disconnecting that subsurfacecolor. Where does that get you?.. ---

this happens without subsurf. ![296237-highresscreenshot00011.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/0/3/2/032e1d1b969a4c318b6c734371bf3fcfe11ef8be.jpeg) ---

Considering how “sunny” your level is I think it looks appropriate. ---

Worse, eh? ) The only other thing I can see, is maybe set those texture params back to their default ( the ones with the yellow ticks ). I think it does look normal in your first pic, but not the extra green parts… ---

figured it out. now visual effects. how to make it better? ![296240-highresscreenshot00030.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/f/e/6fe6dd533496d0faa9d47bba245e379e3e0a44dc.jpeg) ---

subsurface texture was the main problem. i used the albedo as subsurface and done some changes in the albedo texture. that fixed the problem. ---
