Hello,
Pretty new to Unreal, but a VFX Veteran. I am trying to replicate a bit of VFX work in Unreal and see how close I can get it. Now I am struggling with one basic thing already.
I have a character with UDIMs imported as an alembic cache, I have the UDIM textures as exrs and they import fine as Virtual Textures (Virtual texturing enabled and show VT in the bottom right corner)
When adding the VT texture to the base colour input of my material and apply the material to the entire static mesh, I get the UDIM 1001 correctly applied, but all other UDIMs show incorrectly.
When I view the texture in the editor I see the layout of all the textures (are they supposed to show UDIM 1001 in the top left corner and 1011 underneath? - different than UDIM standard)
The Static mesh has 2 UV layouts, but I use the main one representing the texture UDIMs, Otherwise UDIM 1001 would be incorrect
When I toggle the UV Layout on, in the static mesh editor I can only see UDIM 1001, a bit of 1002 and 1011. Here the UDIMs show correctly laid out with 1011 on top of 1001 and 1002 to the right of 1001. Is there another UV viewer where you can zoom out a bit?
So, I am not sure what and where things go wrong.
How are the UDIMs supposed to show up in the texture editor?
Can I see more of my mesh’s UVs, beyond 1001?
How do I get the other textures to the correct UDIMs?
texture naming is:
asset_basecolor.1001.exr
Thanks a lot
