When trying to import my  character into UDk, the character mesh and skeletal mesh imported fine, but then when i try to attach the texture files the character stays black or silver.

The way I fixed my character was by exporting the character in pieces and apply the texture files individually,

After doing that process I pieced the character together before grouping the character

explosion effect

I have recently found a 3d special effect company https://www.imbuefx.com
that specialises in effects for game engines UDK, Cryengine and maya.

Here i purchased a video tutorial on how to create realistic fire within UDK using maya and a flipbook animation.

slow motion effect

After alot of research i have been able to find a tutorial for udk that will help me create the slow motion effect i was looking for.

here is a  link to the tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeyNCHaYNSY

This picture shows how i have created the animated texture with UDK's material editor and how the emissive lights look.
