• 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.

ModelConverterX and transparency

Hello again all,

I have run into another problem when using the material editor in ModelConverterX.
When I select the option "Set Default Transparent" the alpha layer transparency works perfectly but the entire model becomes slightly transparent, it is ever so slight but noticeable if you look closely.

Even with a completely white alpha channel selecting "Set Default Transparent" will have the same result.
I've tried playing around with different settings in the material editor but still no go, the only fix is changing the "Framebuffer Blend" options but this turns off the transparency completely.

I am using the latest stable build, is it something to do with this release of MCX or I have just not noticed until now?
Can anyone else confirm this, and is there something I can do to fix it?
 
Hi,

Is the same material used on the entire object? I have not seen this before, can you maybe post a screenshot of this?
 
Hi Arno,

I have since found the problem in that I was unintentionally applying dithering to the textures :p such a simple mistake.
The results can be seen here with this example using a red and white checkered box inside of a larger white box.

With dither:



Without dither:
