Blender No flowers on bush

[unc1rlm]

Just curious..the textures are PNG but just don't show up? The textures are Blender(Cycles and Eevee)

Thanks,
BobM.

What version of Blender are you referring to? Nevertheless, appears to be an oversight by the artist.

3.1.2 (latest) the flowers appear in Blender in the pic ( when I load the Blender file) but not in the scenery? Thanks @Pyscen
I got the bush here: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/2021-pbr-oleander-collection-nerium-oleander-3d-model-1756580#

Just curious..the textures are PNG but just don't show up?

1 - Does this project have an Blender into MSFS2020 exporter_driven UV map error(s)?

2 - Have you already experimented with different texture_ :
- file_format (bmp, jpg, tiff)?
- sizes ? (smaller ,bigger)

3 - Have you already experimented with the same object but with materials based colours as "texture" ?
By just using Blender Materials colour as "colour" and not add an texture

4 - How does your (exported) Tree model look inside Arno's ModelConvertor?

The textures are PNG... Model Converter X exports it as a glTF but its black..no flowers. The blender file I have..all the images are PNG. I gave Psycen above the link to the file. I am using the latest Asobo exporter but I am really new at all this and have only used Blender a little. I have 3.1.2.. I am trying to do more and more with DevMode. This is the only Nerium Oleander I could find. Tried an OBJ file and that didn't work either.

I will try the jpegs and see if it does better. I will have to convert them.
Anyway..thanks @Ronald for asking.

Greets,
BobM.

I am guessing the "flowers" image has not been formatted to a power of four.

Here's a link to a reworked Oleander bush .blend file. I removed the textures and colored it. You could change the color of the flowers to anything... or add the textures if you like in blender.

1 - Tip: Get to know (the absolute) Blender (basics / fundamentals) inside and out, before jumping into the MSFS2020_Dev mode ok? Get to know your 3D modeling tool first
Yes! I know :-} (from my own experience) It will take some time, must is something which saves you a lot of challenges later on in your wrokflow / pipeline.

2 - For all Blender beginners (and also experience users) this is must watch material on Blender:

Blender Foundation - Blender v2.8 fundamentals
-

CG GEEK - Blender v2.8 fundamentals
-

BLENDER BASICS 1: Intro to Blender 3.0 and CG Cookie:
-

3 - And since you are currently into MSFS2020 scenery building, some more materials to watch:
IBlueYonder - Very good beginner tools for MSFS2020 scenery builders
-

MyPhysical World - Very good beginner tools for MSFS2020 scenery builders

Truly Stunning..now if I could figure out what you did but no you don't need to respond. Thank you @rhumbaflappy and @Ronald for your help and wise counsel..
Bestest,
BobM.

You could load the original OBJ into ModelConverterX. From there you can change the scale, rotate the model, replace the textures and adjust the material settings. Save it as glTF and load it back to Blender, check it out, make some minor tweaks to the material, save the .blend file, and export the MSFS glTF. You probably don't need the textures as coloring looks pretty good. The model does need LODs, which can be done in MCX or in Blender.

I might try that for the experience,
