• 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 to MSFS (photogrammetry) textures getting transparent

Hello everybody, I want to enhance a part of photogrammetry, but my object becomes oddly transparent when I get it in MSFS2020. I have attached two files. The first is in Blender, with no texture issues. The second is the object imported into MSFS 2020, and I can see it inside. All normals are turned outside. MSFS material disabled. SDK updated.

Any help, please?

Thanks !

Paul

It still looks to be a normals problem. Odd. You could zip the .blend with packed textures and load it to the cloud so we could examine it.
 
Oups, 11Mo and still too large, didn't think the limit was so small, I'll try this evening
 
Hi Paul. I looked at that .blend files. I exported that selected object as a straight .glb I then imported the GLB into ModelConverterX.

This made all the materials opaque, and I could export as MS2020 glTF. That could be imported to Blender if needed. The materials were odd for Blender, and the export from MCX fixes them.

Another problem is the bad normals in the model:

Making the materials double-sided might be a solution.

Too kind dear Dick. I try this today and give you back news with pictures of the project, a transporter bridge with a gondola for vehicles.
