• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Backface texturing

Hi everybody, I'm working on my first airport scenery and been using Gmax for a couple of months.
I modeled a terminal expansion which required a negative face extrusion, and though I was able to texturize all external sides the way I intended using planar map, the inner faces which are now partially visible, close to the negative extruded face, have a weird appearance.
I could not make it out how to texturize these backfaces in a decent way, any suggestion?

Thanks in advance
Stefano
 
Hi,

I am not sure if I understand the question. Can you maybe post a picture of those weird looking polygons?
 
Sorry I was not clear enough, I meant the inner faces just look like they have the same texture as outer faces but not aligned and messed up
 
Hi,

You can apply a texture mapping to each face separately. So that way you can put the right piece of texture on it.

However if you are referring to face that you make double sided by using ds_ in the material name, then the front and back side will always be the same.

Ok, that was precisely what I've been doing
