i am trying to make a skin for these 2 cars and when i try and add a decal or number to them they do not show up only the base color does i can change the color of the car just not add any decals or numbers any help or ideas why ? thank you
you need to create an uvwmap for your model. https://docs.studio-397.com/develop...r-3ds-max-plugins/3ds-max-gmt-file-uvw-export
ok thanks for the reply i have 3ds max 2021 but i cant seem to set it up for importing or exporting of GMTs
you need 3dsimed to export gmt's to fbx. Then you import fbx to 3dsmax. In 3dsmax you can export to gmt by s397's plugin. You may also need their smooth plugin.
i can export the gmt's to fbx using 3dsimed and open it in 3dsmax but i cant create an uvwmap i all ways struggle with editing the materials in 3dsmax
Which Version of 3DSMax do you use? You have to install the rFactor Plugins (the Plugins for Max 2017 and 2021 are stored in the Folder ..\rFactor 2\Support\Tools\Plugins) to 3DSMax, to be able to edit the gmotor Materials.
i have 3DMax 2021, i have installed the plugins and they show up in 3DSMax but the material editor confuses me, i have looked for a video tutorial about it but can not find anything on how to do it. thanks
What exactly confuses you? What you as first have to do, is to use the "compact" Editor (open the Editor and click on "Mode"). When i know what the Problem is, i can record a short Video, about how to use it.
thanks for your help but i open the editor and click on mode and then i am lost i cant work out what to do after that thanks
@ling Here is a short Video, about the very first Steps get a gmotor Material into the Material Editor and assigned to an Object.
thank you for the video I have tried every way i can think of but i can not get it to work, the only thing i can think of is there is some thing wrong with the car models or i am doing it wrong (probably me doing something wrong in 3dsmax)
@ling OK, i maybe didn't read carefully. You say that you want to add Start Numbers to the Cars, but they don't appear, but different Colors do appear. So, if different Colors appear, i would suppose that you use the necessary WCCARBODY Material for the Skins already. And if that is the Case, you normally only have to paint the Numbers. BUT, if the Carbody is not mapped properly, you will have Problems. I can offer to help if you want. But if you want me to help you out, please open a private Conversation with me.
