• 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.

So basically, i have a project of this island located not far from Coepnahegn and Malmö. I have sharpened the Ground texture a bit, and i could also do a bit of colorgrading. But i really wanna know what type of masking or blending colours i need to use for this one. ( As shown on second picture ) So should i add a "Transition" a 3rd way out of the coast line, and then add another colour but i dont know witch.. I've seen youtube videos and they sat the "Transition" out in the edges of the entire picture and covered it with the yellow from coast and out. and i saw the result, but it wasnt a transition like a transition should be... What i mean by that is that i want lighter blue color closer to land and darken color when further out, and i kanda wanna have a preview of it and how it should be done ( If anyboy could add that below this Post. ) And also for land textures, and how they should be done. And by that i mean how i do a smooth transition around the ground texture on actual land. (So any suggestions on how to smooth transition an island with coast blue water that blends with the dark colored sea water further out the ocean, and also how to blend normal ground texture on land with autogen scenenery. )

Here is an example to start with;
You should edit your AreaMask_Lp1_.... file to achive something similar. Go to CHANNELS tab of the image, and work on the "Red" color.
Blending is tricky, but you shall try and see what fits best to your eye.

Ofcourse the color of the water you see depends on the WaterClass you have applied around the island. It is a seperate process.

On an island scenery you don't have to worry much about scenery colors matching autogen ground, but if you like to study that there were some detailed posts about this color matching process.
