• 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.

i usually build, then animate, before any uvw...some parts can be uvw...

but some anims have to be done before uvw. to get the modelling right..

i usually uvw components, using md3 and lith...2 2048 sheets...external model.

ive been told that components should be attached..mapped..then un attached. but dont you lose the anims...and what advantage would mapping a complex object in large chunks have? . how would this work?.jim
 
You need to model then texture uvm and last animate!
Sounds like your un attaching parts. If you un attach a part that has animation,
the parts that gets un attached will not have the animation. Only the main part you just selected has the animation keys.

But it's not necessary to un attach parts. Use multi materials and animate last.
