• 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.

Problem when making textures

Hi OskarGustavsson!

What I have found when it comes to UV unwrapping an object, is that there is no one way to do it. It takes a combination of different approaches to find what works best in each instance. But for most instances I have found that I get the best results using Vertex Groups and marking seams, that works the best. I have learnt a lot since I made my tutorials on this subject. And When I have time I will re-make my tutorials on texturing using Blender for FSX.

So to give you a good starting point: The number one thing that I have found when it comes to UV unwrapping is to always use your checkerboard board pattern on the object that you are UV unwrapping. Doing this you will instantly see where you have issues. Like stretching of your texture, or seams not lining up.

I hope this helps!

Thanks, Kris

Can't belive I never even thought about that! Thank you! :D
 
Okey so now everything is working great thanks to you guys! :D

If anyone else get the same problem I'd recommend to use the checkerboard board pattern as krispy1001 said! Worked great!
Make a "Smart UV" and then change scale on different axis until it looks good :)

When you get the chance, please follow through on the promise. I'm at the moment finding it difficult making hi-def textures for FSX. I do all my modeling in Blender. Thank you.

Hi Severin!

I am presently working on a project that is taking most of my time. But like I said in that post "When I have time I will re-make my tutorials on texturing using Blender for FSX". I know the first video tutorials that I did leave a lot to desire.

Thanks, Kris
