That looks correct now, so did it work? You should also see this page (though it describes the Unity system instead of the Unreal one): http://www.cubiquity.net/cubiquity-for- ... l_dat.html

If it still doesn't work you can send me an input file and I will test it.

I will get back to you in a couple of days - I'm moving house and get only limited access to my computer and the internet at the moment.

Actually I am not sure! In the Unity3D version this is indeed possible, but I do now know if it is currently possible in the Unreal version. This is a question for Matt as he did the Unreal work.

The material set is only relevent for the TerrainVolume (the smooth volumes) and does not apply to the ColoredCubesVolume (the cubic volume).

The cubes do not support a material - they only store a single color value. The smooth TerrainVolume does store a material but you are not working with this (right?). There is no 'material index' when working with cubes (it is not like Minecraft).

You can probably apply an Unreal material to the cubes, but the only input will be the color (no texture, etc) from Cubiquity.

I am not quite clear on your question. You can set the color and alpha for any voxel, and you can use the alpha to control whether the voxel is visible.
