• 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.

Hi, I´m sorry I have to ask this again, but could someone please show me how to export a model from Blender 2.79 into MCX (as collada, 3ds or whatever) without losing the textures? I tried to follow the guideline provided in a similar thread but I can´t get the textures to show up.

Thanks!

What file type are the textures you are using in blender (png, bmp,jpeg)?

When you export a DAE in blender is it going to a folder you have specified AND have you looked in there to see if the textures have come over?

What effect are you getting in MCX - is it the model with all checker boxes on OR is the whole model not appearing for you.

Do you want to post a picture of what your seeing or even a version of the blender file so we can look

thank you for answering,

in mcx I see the 3D model but it´s grey and untextured, When I export a dae file from Sketchup it shows up with all textures without problems. the model is a simple cube I only used for testing purposes, because I wanted to know how to get my models into mcx before starting something more complex. I´ll post the file here tomorrow, I´m buy with family life at the moment. thanks for your help!

update: I found the mistake, I didn`t create a blank image texture to bake the original texture to. Now I see the model textured in mcx. when i´m back at my simulator pc i´ll see if it shows up
