Good afternoon  
Could someone help me how to resolve?  
When I go to apply a texture, it disappears as shown in the photo.

Hi Arquitero193,

That will be because the material has an error - it updates the thumbnail when you drag it - andUE finds the error then.

You’ll need to open the material in the material editor and have a look at the compile output log to see what the error is.

If you double-click on the material in the ContentBrowser, it will open the Material Editor. Check the pane at the bottom (with the red outline in snapshot below) - there will be some error message there.

I achieved. Really appreciate the help  
If it’s not too much trouble, could you tell me why the mirror looks like this?

In addition to reflecting the image outside the environment, it is distorted
