• 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.

MSFS20 Material problem when using Normal and AO/Roughness/Metallic Map

After following the SDK documentation, I have managed to create my own material asset and create a new material.

As you can see in the images, when I insert the Albedo map, the material works perfectly. But if I place the normal map or the AO / Rougness / Metallic map, the material is no longer displayed correctly and only the lines seen in the photo can be seen.

The problem is clear that it is in the Normal map or in the AO / Roughness / Metallic map, the same thing happens to me adding them together or separately.

In the configuration photo you can see the export properties.

I would swear I export it correctly, but for some reason it doesn’t work.

Have any of you had this problem and / or know how to solve it?

Thanks

Double check your normals (faces up)... then double check that your normal map doesn't have an alpha.

I didnt add any mesh so normals from the mesh is up to the SDK polygon or apron.
I will check the Alpha map from my material.

Thanks!
 
If there was no mesh how did you place the texture maps? Polygons or faces are mesh and if not placed faced correctly ( in this case) the normal map could appear backwards.
 
Finally Albedo Map and Metal/Roughness/AO Map worked.

But Normal Map is still giving me problems.

I have tried the Normal map in 16bits and 8 bits and same result.

PD. I have noticed that Metal/Roughness/AO Map only works in 8bits (at least on my testings)

Im using SDK tools to create the apron and polygons, i am not importing any 3D model.
