• 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.

UV Unwrap and texturing long lines/ taxiways

Hey guys after unwrapping one part and then using the follow active quads I still have issues getting the complete model textured the same way as I did the first part.
Doing everything seperately will take days on a big airport. So there must be a better way.

Any ideas or other workflows?

Thanks a lot!

What are you using in creating the UV's and or 3D modeling? The use of seams in creating the UV's might make it easier.
 
I assume all the parts of the object should be textured identically? Try creating a texture for just one section and then use UVW Mapping and the Face radio button? That will texture every face (polygon) of the part with the entire texture. You can modify that mapping using the Gizmo (click the black +). You can use Mesh Select first to select only some polygons if you need to.

It's a part of a taxiway centerline, so it all needs to be equal. Will give this a try

After using Follow Active Quads on all selected with the correctly textured one highlighted, I still get a lot of them wrong inside the texture. Any ideas?

How would I do that correctly on the whole taxiway?
 
No, sorry. I've never tried to texture something that complex.
