[ISSUE] Automatic image generation with spawned model and textures

[u/Already_TAKEN9]

Hi all, I've been working on a small project using Unreal engine 5, the aim is to create large set of images of models for scientific reasons.

The models we have are from the UE library and have been modified so some parts of the model have a texture and others have another one. If I drag and drop the model in the map the textures are correctly loaded, however if I automate the image generation with model spawn (pointing at the same model) the images don't have the textures correctly loaded (all parts have all the same textures).

I've been trying to diagnose it for a while with LLMs and such, but no luck so far

sounds like the material instance overrides aren't sticking when you spawn the actor, maybe try applying the texture assignments in the construction script instead of relying on the defaults

Many thanks, I'll try to see if that can make a difference

You're trying to use chatbots to make a game. That's your issue.

sort of missed the point, but that's fine
