Hi!
I’m trying to add a static mesh as a foliage, but when I paint the landscape it turns black! I don’t know why it is turning black. The same mesh is correct when I place it alone (as we can see in the attached picture). I already built the lights and nothing happened… it is still black :(…
Can anyone help me please??
Thanks a lot!
Are your lights set to static, stationary, or movable? The mesh you placed manually is set to static, so it will accept static lighting. The foliage tool sets meshes to movable by default, so they will not accept static lighting.
Hi Keiii,
We have not heard from you in several days. I am marking this as answered for tracking purposes. If you are still experiencing this error, please comment with the requested information.
Thank you !!! It helped me a lot! 
I solved this problem by changing sun lighting to use CSM shadow instead of using per-object shadow, check “Dynamic Shadow Distance XXX” option on sun, good luck.
