• 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.

MSFS20 Character Creator to 3dsmax

Hi all!

I'm just in the process of adding some final touches to my Sydney Seaplane base scenery, and was wondering if anyone has any experience on how to set up Character Creator for 3dsmax and then to export to MSFS?

Would love to add some animated people to the scenery. I get lost somewhere in between, I've managed to get an animated simple object into MSFS with some variables, however when it comes to people, I do get stuck. I export the fbx into 3dsmax, once i combine the model into one mesh, the rig that it comes with, goes haywire. The model gets distorted etc. I try re skin it but then the model gets even more distorted.

Thanks in advance!
 
Ok guys so I managed to figure out what the issue was, when importing from CC, after combining all the meshes together in 3dsmax, you need to re skin the model, apply the envelopes and weights then all looks as it should!
 
Re opening this topic, I've been able to sort out my animations and import into 3dsmax as a single mesh, however when I apply a flight sim material, I get a black texture... all the textures are in the correct format.

Left side is directly after importing into 3dsmax from CC4. Physical Base Material.

Right side is after I apply the MSFS material to it...

Any help will be appreciated.

Ok so I was converting to game base in CC4 which was causing the black texture issue, suspecting its the triangulation.

I've managed to get it looking better but now the clothes have these marks on them, however the texture file looks clean! Not sure whats happening, been at this whole CC4 thing for the last 4 days smh
