• 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.

For those who would be interested in PBR textures creation, I have counted 5 of them, 3 of which are payware and 2 freeware.

Paywares:
There are 3DCoats, Quixel which works as a Photo Shop 64b plugin and Substance Painter for paying users (you can easily find information on the net and youtube)

Freeware:
There is Materialize and then Modlab which is available on Steam.


If you have already use theses softwares and wanted to bring somes advices or opinions about, I am very interested by yours returns ;)

Last year, I have buy Substance Painter during Black Friday and I already have some experience with its use. The textures of my Menestrel HN700 (https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/ménestrel-hn-700-for-prepar3d-v4.441773/#post-794375) were made with SP.
 
There is another payware product available, ShaderMap 4:

or Substance B2M (Bitmap2Material) from Allegorithmic:

Edit:

Perhaps the Freeware xNormal couldt be also a solution:

Not to forget Knald available from here:

Also not to forget the Freeware AwesomeBump available from here:

Another product for Textrure creation is PixPlant, available from here:
