Hello,
After creating a ground polygon through Blender 2.82b, I have the following visual problem:
I initially had this problem on a full airport layout so I started from scratch making a simple square to see of the problem reoccurs. And it does.
So my question is of course, what am I doing wrong?
My workflow
- Create the ground polygon through Blender 2.82b (normals are faced up being blue)
- Assign a material and reduce the specular to 0
- Select Specular as material node and select "no shadow" and "no z-write. Z-bias zero in Blender)
- Assign the diffuse texture through the shading Editor (no other textures assigned) being a 1024x1024 asphalt bmp (RGB/16bit)
- Unwrap the texture (Project from View) and rescale it
- Successfully export the mdl file using the Blender2P3D/FSX toolset 0.98.01 (P3D V4.5 correct initialisation)
- Open the most recent MCX version (dev release) and import the MDL. Since a few days, I get the following warning -> ObjectRenderer Warning Failed to load texture: GlobalEnvTest.dds
- Object shows with correct material assigned (still being a bmp)
- Diffuse texture is assigned as asphalt.bmp and specular color is pure black (0/0/0).
- Z-bias is zero
- Exported it again as mdl
- Imported the MDL into the Ground Poly Wizard (object still correctly displayed with its texture).
- Layer set to 8. Visibility 10km. Slicing every 100m. No 500m grouping selected. Selected to convert texture and hit the convert.
- BGL is created as well as the newly converted asphalt.dds
- Copied the bgl to the scenery folder and the asphalt.dds to the texture folder
- P3D V4.5 loaded and the poly is loaded but the result is as above
My (unsuccessful) trial and error
- using a default P3D dds texture and renamed it to asphalt
- used PBR shading iso Specular
- texture changing 16bit to 8bit
- assigned a ready made seamless asphalt texture downloaded from "google" to test
- assigned specular, emissive and normal map throug Blender
- changing the way I make polygons (from single vert connections to adding a simple plane)
I have made no changes to my flightsim settings or graphics card (driver update or so). Both Blender and MCX are showing the object correctly with the assigned texture.
So I must be doing something totally wrong here. Though, I've made some poly's earlier this month, and they worked..
Whilst awaiting any feedback, my apologies for this maybe newbie question.
