• 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.

some mapping completed, fsx.acc. lith..md3...psp...nvidia dds exporter....

i still have some difficulty trying to see the world, from the point of view of the uvw mapper, its not a camera, its mapping geometry, mathematically in 3d
space..i think...

so how do you map an object like a tube, that has one side only, the inside..

my thought would be to flip the normals..map,apply tex, and then flip..

or map..flip then apply.....or maybe the uvw knows its mapping the inside of a
tube....???see crazy object image....it only has an inside..

some small objects. could quite happily be left in the gmax colours. no uvw. no texture...to do..works in fsx...whats the downside of doing this....jim just read bill leamings advice on untextured objects, so thats one query solved...so it looks like ive got to uvw map, the pilots nose, ears, teeth...ime joking ..jim

You don't have to texture the back of his teeth unless you have an in-mouth viewpoint defined. :duck:

Use a cylindrical mapping, UVW Unwrap and then scale down the resulting UV map for width, leaving length untouched?
