• 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.

Mentioned this in a previous thread but no joy as yet...

Does anyone know how to render baked in reflections on VC windows using 'Render to Texture' from Max as mentioned towards the end of this post (by Paco Sanchez): http://www.aerodynamika.com/cgi-bin/...num=1187043062

I know this can be 'roughed' just by using renders or screenshots and aligning by eye, but if it's possible to do it correctly and accurately then obviously that would be much preferred.


Thanks,


Robert
 
Sorry Robert,

I dont.

However, there is a brilliant tutorial on texture baking by 'Next Level Sims' known as Olli, in which he bakes the interior of an Airbus. If anyone could tell you how that would be done, it would be Olli. The tutorial is also at FreeFlightDesign.com in the Tutorial section.

(The guy is amazing at his work.. )

EDIT: Just had a response from Paco over at Free Flight Design (though strangely no email notification...) Anyway, all appears to be working now. Thanks again.

Hey Bill...

Yeah for some reason my link seems broken, but that's the tutorial I was referring to above:

http://www.aerodynamika.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1187043062

I'm fine with using Render to Texture to bake in the lighting (only problem I am finding is using either skylight with light tracer or daylight systems or AO with mental ray requires a very long render time on interior sections as so many more rays are required to illuminate these spaces well...)

Using Render to Texture for the window reflections is mentioned further down in this post by Paco Sanchez. PMed him but nothing so far, maybe I'll drop Olli a line.

Cheers,

Robert
