• 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.

A newbie guestion?
I am working on a log cabin for a scene in flight sim. I am very new to Gmax and having some problems with it but am working thru that. What I need help with is how to texture it and were to fine a log cabin texture for it. If there is a good tutoral on texturing with gmax could some one point me to it. In texturing the cabin would i be better to just do it in Paint shop pro or can it all be done in gmax and then import it into my scene. thanks for any help that you can give me.

Gday Woody, im currently working on a basic tutorial for Gmax that covers creating Two base objects that an then be used to create a New object.

This will introduce you to the Array commands and Scale commands and Merge commands, It will also cover basic texturing.

Its designed for totally new users and the end result will be to create a wooden ladder as a scenery object.

Its about 70% complete and undergoing proof reading and fine tuning for errors, omisions and removal ofassumptions of prior knowledge.

Ill post an update when its ready ( prob PDF Format ) and will be printable.

This is designed for NEW users but may offer some assistance to those who are already using Gmax in a basic context.

In regards to textures for objects, PSP and Photoshop. It isnt hard once the basics are taught but there is a good one by Jordan Moore at scenery.org from memory in the tutorial section that covers texture creation by use of photo's.

On the NL2000 site, the third part of the tutorial is also dealing with textures. But I guess you don't speak Dutch, so you will have to wait till it is translated to English as well :D.
