Lava, no red

I like the new course so far as I have never used Unreal.

When I select the floor to change it to Lava / red I only have 68 items to choose from and none are red, yet in the video you have 685 different materials to choose from.

So I added a texture from the textures folder but you might want mention this for others…

Hello! Thanks for the feedback! You’re correct, the material doesn’t show up by default. However, it is in your project file (just a bit hidden). In your Content drawer, click on Settings. Then enable “Show Engine Content” and “Show Plugin Content”. Enabling both of these should give you a wider range of material choices, including the red asset we used.

That being said, we’ll be updating this lava material to our own custom material in the future, so using the exact color definitely isn’t a necessity. :slight_smile: Let me know if you’re unable to get the other materials to show!

That worked thanks.

I already now have a lava floor, some falling ball obstacles and a colour coded start and finish.
