• 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.

Hi and Happy New Year 2012,

I'm doing texture baking in VTSP to increase detail. Although I'm the beginner in this field.
I'd like to ask something who has more experience than me.
1. After you do texture baking, do you need to normalize to eliminate shading of the game out?
2. Do you bake all the polygon of the scenery or some part of it and let the game shading do the rest?
3. What is the maximum size of texture that FSX image tool support? And if we use bigger size with less texture sheets (less draw calls), what the effect to the frame rate it would be? Better or lower (due to larger texture sheet).
4. I have picture attached. When I make a raytraced render with daylight in 3dmax. I got a jagged edge shadow as showed. How can I eliminate that? I tried to set up more ray sample but it didn't help at all. I try to search in Google and make me more confused. Please advice me how to do.

Thanks for any comments in advance.
Best wish for you,
Tic

Oh man!
I tick Render Parameter-> Render Direct Illumination and this problem solved.
In tutorial of 3dmax7, it recommended Reused-direct illumination from Radiosity Solution but it cause jagged edge of shadow in 3dmax2012.
 
I have been making the textures minus the shadows..etc, then in render to texture just rendering an ambient occlusion map then just blending in photoshop, IMO gives a better result.
