[Rel] DAF 2021 Plastic Grilles

[xXCARL1992Xx]

the intakes are already mapped, just changed it to truckpaint shader, assign the texture for truckpaint and set all uvs to UV_0, no need to make new UVs, at least for the intakes, the fenders are a different thing but it looks like they are already properly unwraped just scaled bigger to make the plastic texture fit better

@Solutech Where i can find this Carbon Skin?

[Solutech]

Its in the metallic skin packs @Kemoauc its called Carbon Olive . You can alter the colours I wasnt keen on the original green lol .

Hmm. The default on the front mask is UV_0 already, but I see there's also a UV_1 that is not assigned under Mapping, might that be the shader needed for the flake paint?

@Solutech Thx for the Info!

[xXCARL1992Xx]

no, flake doesnt need any extra layer, same for metallic or mask paint, they never neded on, at least to my knowledge, on the old trucks UV_0 was the AO baked texture, UV_1 was the template for the skin and UV_2 was alternat_uvset wich is obsolet now for new trucks, a UV_1 is only there because this shader is used on a piece that also has normal mapping from when SCS made the truck before cutting it up, just change shader to truckpaint and assign UV_0 to all 3 slots and set diffuse, specular and shininess to the correct values from the cabin truckpaint,

but now that i look at it the part where the DAF logo is does need to be corrected but it already is reasonable good unwrapped, you just need to rotate and scale it

if you want i can send you the blend file for this one at least

Hold up with the numbers. So UV_0 is the base as usual, UV_1 becomes UV_3 to give room for the template then UV_0 is cloned, renamed to UV_1 and re-mapped? I'm quite slow at times.

I've got the metallic paintjobs broken on the top part of the mask so I guess it's a bit tricky with the UVs.

[Wolfi]

Base and nmap only need UV_0 and UV_1 . Paint takes UV_0 , UV_1 & UV_2 , Nmap then lives on UV_3 . Rename UV_1 to UV_3 . Then make sure UV_0 is sized and mapped to the right position . Once thats done dupe the uv twice and set as UV_1 UV_2 .

That's actually not true. Most new trucks in both ATS and ETS2 use UV_0 for the base texture, UV_1 is used for paint and UV_2 is used for normalmap. (assuming the truck even uses a normalmap) And this is also the case for new Daf.
So basically you need to duplicate UV_1 and rename it to UV_2 (for the normalmap which really isn't important for custom bits as most of them don't use it) and then you need to remap the UV_1, or in some cases replace UV_1 with UV_0 as some UV_0's have a proper paint mapping already. (I know, it's confusing as quack)
Unfortunately, this will be quite a bit of work if you want to get all the parts right. This may prove tricky as SCS Daf while mapped rather nicely, has weird scaling in some areas.

[Winchester1979]

Well, I don't even know right now what the proper names for these parts are as applied to the acc_list attribute, so I can't really even test whether I got it right or not...

I did just create a couple more variants that may be in the next release.

See this is what happens . Stuff changes . Im just going on the way I've always done it
