How do I match the UV tiling of a static mesh with a BSP brush?(Possibly using the wrong terminology)

Hey,
I apologize if I’m using the wrong wording here, I’m pretty new to all this and tried searching all of yesterday to figure this out. But i’m trying to take a static mesh I made in 3ds Max and make the default texture sample of that match the default texture sample of a BSP brush.

So just for example, if I wanted to take a BSP brush and make a certain part of a wall and then make a custom piece in a 3ds Max to fill in the rest, how do I make the two tiling match so if I took like a brick wall material and put it on it that, it would match up on both pieces? Is there a certain number I should set the UV tiling to in 3ds Max before exporting or do I have to do it through nodes afterwards in UE4? Or is there an entirely more simple way of doing this that I’m missing? Any help is definitely appreciated, haha.

Here’s a picture of what I mean, the bottom piece is a BSP brush and the top is the static mesh. I can’t seem to get them to match up.

Hi Earthworm401 -

For the imported mesh from Max, the easiest way to tile you UVs is through adding a Texture Coordinate to the material itself and tile up or down on the U and V as necessary. BSP brushes have their own tiling setting which should be in the details panel for each brush. I am not going to tell you its not possible to get them to match because it is but it will take sometime and patience. It would be a lot easier in the long run to use the BSP brushes to get your size and layout then model a mesh in Max to replace the Brush, then the Texture Coordinate will be able to match up the meshes exactly as long as they are unwrapped the same.

Ah, okay that makes a lot more sense. I knew I was doing something wrong, haha. Thanks!
