Custom Cereal -Bowl and Plate
I'm trying to make a custom cereal. After I cloned the object, I recolored most of it; the cerealbox, milkbox, cereal in the bowl, and box of berries.

But no matter what I do, I can't seem to change the texture on the bowl or plate. I've checked and dbl-checked that my package has the required map, but no matter what it doesn't seem to work in-game.

Do I need to do something specific to change these just this custom cereal?

Namasté.

Hi 73rd_survivor! Could you post a copy of the object here? It's a bit easier to diagnose problems if we can see the object.

-The other textures aren't done yet, but here's the gist of the problem:

Game object:


My object:


All the dishes are white. However, I replaced the White dish pattern in my object with something else; just like how I replaced the Ingrdients pattern with something else. The bowl/plate in my object should look different, but it doesn't. (see attached for object.package)

<hr/>

-I was looking over some other people's items; Most people use a global hack and change every single dish pattern. I'm only trying to change the pattern for a certain meal, and not all of them. IDK if what I asked about is even possible?

I did not look through that tutorial properly; there is a boilerplate suggesting the user learn about animating food first. (I haven't done any animations yet.)

I will look throught this one closer; and maybe I'll go learn about animations first. Thank you for your time!

Namasté.

No problems You don't have to know how to animate food to make custom plates, but it's a pretty good skill to have anyway.
