Help in Blender to MSFS please!

[Haas192]

Hi!

Do you guys have an idea why my sim doesn't show base colour textures after I load them in MSFS?

in blender:

In MSFS2020

Even though I have the correct textures in the folder:

Thanks in advance,
Mark

hello,

have check the face orientation in blender ?

 

[Haas192]

Hi!

yes, I did and it still doesn't work

What does the UV map screen look like?

 

[Haas192]

 

[ronh]

Ok now the shading screen. I don't see your model in the UV unwrap screen.

On the blender export do you set the texture folder? When you look at the package folder are the textures there in the package folder? - is it Materialslib? I'm not sure for scenery?

edit : try building the simple scenery and see if that works, It's always some tiny little thing that can mess up things in MSFS now. compare your package to theirs.

 

[Haas192]

this is my textures folder:

and this is my model folder:

this is how I export it:

Does your packages folder contain the dds textures? I am not sure but the name of your package may have to be in a proper name with scenery-mainterminal,

your company name is pearlsimulations.

so you get a scenery

pearlsimulations-scenery-mainterminal

folders

pearlsimulations-[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]scenery[/COLOR]-mainterminal folders pearlsimulations-[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]scenery[/COLOR]-mainterminal with - Contentinfo - scenery -pearlsimulations -texture all your dds files and json files for your textures - modelLib.BGL - objects.bgl


Grrrr! how do you keep the white space on this forum?

 

[Haas192]

I dont't have dds textures.. how should I get them? I watched a tutorial and in that there was no dds mentioned in it...

 

[ailgorbot]

I have check your file, as I suggest it's just a face orientation issue

1st export

I checked face orientation

I fixed them

Blue face wiil have the texture.

2nd export, Tada !!!

 

[Haas192]

Thanks a lot!!
There is just one more thing that is a little problematic... it’s the alpha channels. There is no transparency even though when I exported it from substance painter it was transparent at some points... Can you please help me fix that as well?

i really do appreciate your help!!

For transparency, you have to separate all your transparency glass surfaces in another mesh and assign a new texture with render paramter alpha mode = blend

MSFS - MSFS Glass material (Blender)

Hello! I have been trying to get some good reflections for glass objects for weeks now o_O But I haven't managed to do that.. How I can get reflections like in the default buildings. Is it glass material and what settings are used? Also, is PBR required? This is what I'm looking for:

www.fsdeveloper.com

and export all these mesh (opaque and transparency) toghether) in one object .gltf.
If I were you, I will separate glass from tower and the rest of building. assign glass material for glass tower and assign another glass material for glass from the others windows. play with parameters (alpha, color, metallic, roughness...) to have something different between tower and windows.


here all opaque surfaces with .png texture

here surfaces with blend parameter. play with alpha multiplier to choose your transparency intensity. for this building I have nothing to show inside so I am close to 1=opaque, put somrthing like 0.1 for transparency

 

[Haas192]

So you’re sating there aren’t any ways to create transparency within one object? Actually it would be impossible to separate them as they are already textured together and also I am not only talking about the glass windows but also about the pillars that hold the departure/arrival signs... Those have transparent and non-transparent parts either as I did it with an alpha texture...

 

[ailgorbot]

Just to clarify : an object (.gltf) is composed with several mesh (wall, door, roof, windows...) and material (opaque and blend)
Same object (.gltf) with multiple material (one for glass and the other for wall).
Off course, you can seperate windows mesh from wall mesh and assign a glass material. These surfaces will be no longer assign to texture (wall material).
