• 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.

Blender Precise planar UV mapping?

Hello all,

This is a very basic Blender question, from someone coming from gMax.
In gMax, you could do planar UV mapping and enter a specific size for the UVW "Gizmo". This allows to perfectly match resolution across textures. I'd like to do the same in Blender, so that I can match and align different textures across parts. How is this done? I could not see any way to Unwrap by first entering a specific size in Blender.

Salute!
 
I think when you select your object and click from the UV unwrap menu ‘project from view’ it will project a map from orthographic view which you should be in then a menu will come up on the left usually in the tools menu, you’d want to keep ‘orthographic’ enabled and disable size to bounds etc
 
There is also a plugin for Blender that manages texel density of your UV's called Texel Density Checker. It can detect the texel density of UV's, and apply a specific density if you want certain objects to match in resolution. It is very handy when you modify/add parts and you don't want to unwrap the entire model again to ensure a matching resolution. Also helpful when you want to reduce the resolution of non-critical components.
