Hi all,
Have a pretty tricky problem but hopefully someone here can shed some light. I make all my photoreal ground using 1024x1024 tiles at 20cm/pixel. This results in a huge amount of tiles but the quality is fantastic both in fs2004 and fsx.
However my latest airport requires 416 tiles, a significant amount. My previous airports have had around 250 with no performance impact at all. However in gamx this means that I have to manually place each texture on a tile i.e. I have to go the material editor 416 times and do each tile.
Is there some sort of a script that would automate this process? The thought of doing this 416 time is not so good.
I will have 416 textures in a folder named: 1 to 416 so looking for some script that would use this folder location and I would only have to create 1 tile in gmax and then run the script that would create all 416 in one swoop.
Maybe this is not possible but I know you can make scripts to rename certain objects in gmax so perhaps there is some solution?
Thanks for your time
Terry
