SCS Blender Tools

@abasstreppas Thanks for the hint! I had the layers wrong arranged, now I feed stupid.
But it seem to work now.

What's the shader that you're using?

[FierbetoN]

didn't work for the vertex alpha layer it seems

Make sure the plane has the same vertex color layers as the target object.

Yo, geeks

Is there any cheat to set vertex colors to multiple objects, like mass-coloring? It takes forever to do it one by one on my wheelpacks. The trailer version only has about 2000 objects i think, so you could guess...

it should be doable via python script, sadly this is all i know, programming languages were never my strong point

@abasstreppas there is a simple way to do this assuming you only want to have the same solid color on every object. I made a quick video to show how to do it - using data transfer modifier.

Watch on YouTube

(you don't need to apply the modifier on each object if you keep the color cube - the modifier will apply on export by default).

edit:
just noticed this was already proposed and you did that

[abasstreppas]

@Harven Yeah, but thanks anyway. Maybe you should post that video to the tutorial section as it's very informative and simple to follow

[siebel3d]

Very nice @Harven, I didn't knew about that. Very handy to use.

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, so apologies if it isn't

Almost with every model I make, when I get to the stage of setting up the SCS Materials, after selecting the texture I want to use and confirming the UV Map, my mesh always seems to have certain normals flipped. I always make sure I manually flip my normals BEFORE applying the materials, but AFTER, some of the faces tend to be flipped, and I have no idea why. It sometimes drives me crazy that I have to go to each face and do 'inside' normal flips.

Surely I must be doing something wrong because I'm sure this can't be for everyone right?

Thanks for reading this.

@CrazyMango73 In edit mode, you can use Ctrl+N to recalculate normals on the 'outside' of the mesh. For most geometries, this will make the normals face the way you desire.

I have done this. As you've said, it does work for most faces, but certain ones remain like that. Just a small annoyance I guess
