A little program that may help you - TexFusion

[Walter Almaraz]

Hi,

I designed a little program in C# Windows Forms, to merge textures in one texture, normally we use this procedure to create PBR textures. While there a much better tools, this one can simplify this task in some cases.

I'm still learning about software development, this program may not be perfect yet, so if you encounter a bug or you have a suggestion, please let me know

This tool doesn't need to be installed, just extract and open the .exe file.

A small tutorial is available here:

You can download from here: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/texfusion.295/ (not online yet but it should be available soon)

Regards,
Walter

Hello,
Great! To which sim will this infuse, P3D or MSFS?

Hello Doug,

Actually can infuse for MSFS or probably for other engines, in the video I used P3D as an example.

Hello Walter. Thanks for a great product. I am currently experimenting with it, but I cannot seem to find the right texture combinations. What maps goes into which channels? I always seems to get very glossy textures when combining the different maps.

Hello Walter. Thanks for a great product. I am currently experimenting with it, but I cannot seem to find the right texture combinations. What maps goes into which channels? I always seems to get very glossy textures when combining the different maps.

Some further experiments and discussing the issue with "ChatGPT" points to the issue being user-fault. Understanding the different texture maps, and which is actually read by MCX/MSFS is essential + the A-channel is not used, but instead its gray value adjusted to increase/decrease the shiny effect. Inserting ONLY AO in the R-channel, Roughness in the G, and metallic in B [leaving A with only a grayscale] gave good results with the A-channel between 80-120.

Thanks again for a great software!

Hi,

I'm glad that you like the software, actually is not limited to FS or P3D, I designed it to be compatible with other engines, probably that's the reason that may be confusing when you try to load the PBR textures in the boxes .
