• 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.

Hello All,

I Have Managed To Make My Aircraft Into A .mdl but i cannot find any Help anywhere As To How To get The Texture Files so i Can paint it

Any ideas

Thanks In Advance
 
Tom is on it.

We all learn to make our own textures, or the rich and wealthy hire people to do it for them.

You must 'map' a part first to a texture.

You must also create a texture of which to map to the part.

You must also create a Material in Gmax.



What I do, for say a tire (like in the other post you have here on this subject), I have a texture sheet going together. In Gmax, I will take a screenshot of the tire. I paste that onto the master texture sheet in Photoshop, (only the tire) and arrange it on the texture sheet to take only as much room as needed. I then hit save in Photoshop. I go into Gmax, in Material Editor, I create a new Material, add the material into the Diffuse slot (small button on Diffuse), and click on the blue and white button for the material to appear. Add the material (Attach) to the tire object in Gmax. Next, map the UVW (paint it onto the object, adjust the 'mapping' (map) of the texture sheet over the object (sort of like a light photo being shown on an object, just adjust, scale the projection over the object), and done. Your tire will now be mapped.

Your first couple of parts will be difficult, but once you understand the system, its soooooooooo easy.

Miltons tutorial is brilliant.
