• 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.

Blender help: alpha textures ..

The triangle artifact happens only with faces of the same objects. Below, the rear, curved windows are of one part, and the rectangular face is of another part.



Hope it is clear!
 
Still don't have a clue on the problem shown above. Certainly is a Blender 'feature' which doesn't display transparency correctly as soon as the face is a triangle. Does show up like this in the viewport, but not in the internal render. But... FSX does exhibit the same behaviour. How to tackle this?
 
Yet solved this, somehow. I discovered tonight that my VC glass material didn't have this strange behaviour, so appended this material into the external model, applied it on the external glass and now everything is fine. Hmm, interesting...
 
Hello, from a Blender newbie.

About glass, I'm completly in (that's why I follow this post).

My last step :

Take a look at the picture, you could see eyes across googles, across windscreen, across blurred prop ...

The main is the draw order, managed by the part names.

Not a strict rule as far as I know (or test).
But if you face this kind of alpha layer stack, you can try with Y or Z at the beginning of your part name, and see...

Already documented here (FSdev) for Max, this is due to the model converter I think (?)

Hopes this could help somes.

Daniel.

Here are the differences I found in my both materials. There's nothing spectacular I guess, the only important difference IMHO is the Texture influence. Can this be the clue? Settings with an * were derived from the default Cub's glass using MCX.

Good:
IOR: 4
Transp. Blend: 1.438
FSX precip: yes
Refl. scale: 30
Spec. pwr. scale: 202
Spec. bloom floor: 0.90
No base mat. spec.: yes
Texture influence: Translucency 1.000

Bad:
IOR: 1.5
Transp. Blend: 1.480
FSX precip: no
Refl. scale: 1*
Spec. pwr. scale: 172*
Spec. bloom floor: 0.51*
No base mat. spec.: no
Texture influence: no translucency

I hope this might mean something to anybody...

@Daniel-45 I can't really figure out what you're meaning. It looks just fine for me, but I might be wrong?

Bye ;)
