• 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.

Is UDIM supported by the sim?

After a bit of tweaking it's working perfectly for me (using Blender/Substance Painter workflow).
Mostly using it for large areas that i want to get as much detail possible.

How many udim tiles did you made for this tower up there?

Is that really a improved workflow to use udims instead of materials? A object with 5 to 10 materials is no problem to handle without udims.

So i cant imagine that a udim workflow will improve the scenery creating process. :)

It does for me clearly. My terminal had around 35/40 set of textures (albedo, metal, normal) in total. That includes Roofs, Walls, Windows, Doors. Never repeated a texture on any building.
So....1 building = 3 textures.
12 buildings (so far) = 36 textures in total

right now. I'm using 1 tile for the front. and everything else divided in two tiles. So that would be a grand total of 9 textures. or 3 sets.

It's a huge difference for my workflow. Looks the same and even better when I use one tile dedicated to the most biggest areas.

Hi, is there any way to reduce the emissive texture intensity? This is the texture in substance and in the sim.

Cheers

I think you can adjust this with the emissive color in the blender msfs material settings. White 100% black 0% grey something in between.

Yes, there is the slider on the right side of the circle, but I can not adjust it. Only the colors within the circle.

That material doesn't look like the one that I have. The one I have starts out as a blueish color... it even has rust options also... let me see if I can find the .zip file containing the material that I have and I can send it to you, if you like me to?
Hi there! can you share the link to the texture, please! I have been looking around for corrugated metal texture and have not found anyone like that!

Should I use the vertex paint in blender and then bake the ID Map using SubstancePainter, or should I use texture paint in blender, paint my UV and import this als ColorID in substance painter? What is better?

sorry for asking this, i am learning SP, do you place those textures in the procedural folder or texture???
There should of been a readme file included in the zip file that I sent you.
