• 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.

Light bug when using the smooth shade object tool

So I have imported parts from an model into mcx but when i do i get rough lines across the model, Normally i use the smooth shade object tool without any issues and it will clean up my model so it is smooth.
On some models I get a bug when i do this, A light & puckering effect.
any ideas what could cause this and is there a fix or suggestions to prevent this.
Thanks

The screenshots below the one without texture is the issue before using the smooth shade object tool

Hi,

From which format did you import the model? Most formats do support importing normals and then you should not have to perform a smooth shade again.

The lighting issue you see might be because the door has some internal structure which affects the smoothing. But that is hard to see from these images.
 
Im using fsds.
I tried without the doors but the same effect happens.
fsds used to import with a smooth model but has not for a while now,
 
Importing the smoothing groups from FSDS files indeed has some limitations.

A while ago it was suggested to add a threshold angle to the smooth shading. I think that would also help to solve your issue. But I haven't had the time yet to implement that yet.
 
Ok That would be great as i have a few projects on hold until i can work around this,
Im still amazed at the amount MCX can do. Its such a great tool for us
