Complete pack of truck & trailer templates

[Carsmaniac]

Hey all, I've just released an additional template pack containing templates for 25 great truck and trailer mods! They're all in the same format and quality as my existing templates, with 4k truck templates, 2k trailers and PSDs with layers for each part. I've also uploaded an update to the main template pack, with a few minor fixes

While a pack with a bunch of random mods' templates might not make sense at first glance, I've found that in the course of maintaining a number of paintjob packs I've occasionally wanted to add support for a truck mod, and hunting down a new template each time was a little annoying.

The full list of supported mods, with download links, can be found here, as well as within the download itself. Please let me know if you see any errors or missing parts! Enjoy!

Any chance for the new Cascadia templete?

@Thndrhwk I've just added Cascadia templates to the ATS pack, you can grab it in this thread!

@SimLive I haven't uploaded this template pack anywhere else, if you see it elsewhere then others have reuploaded it. The templates are licensed under CC0 though, so anyone is free to reupload them as they like I won't be making 16k templates, as there's little demand the the downloads would be huge, but you can still make 16k paintjobs with these templates. If you make a 16k image and just stretch a 4k template out to completely fill it, everything should still line up perfectly.

@Carsmaniac Oke

Hi, @Carsmaniac!
Happy New Year!
Thx for your 'Complete pack of truck & trailer templates'!
I have a question regarding templates for Schwarzmüller accessories, i.e.: 'Chassis Front - Painted Side Skirt + Painted Box' (files: Chassis Front (Left) - Painted Side Skirt + Painted Box.png & Chassis Front (Right) - Painted Side Skirt + Painted Box.png).
Where are here parts for pained side skirts? For example if I want to do distinct skins for side skirts & boxes? In the def-files for Schwarzmüller trailers these accessories are named: 'accessory_addon_data : sp2p_b1p.schwmuller.curtain.chs_f_l' & 'accessory_addon_data : sp2p_b1p.schwmuller.curtain.chs_f_r'.
Thanks you in advance!

@twings The accessories on the Schwarzmüller trailers are kind of wack, their UV-mapping is a bit all-over-the-place. The specific sideskirts you mentioned - sp2p_b1p - take one texture and apply it to both the sideskirt rail and the painted box. Unfortunately, these two parts are supposed to be textured at different aspect ratios, and their UV-maps simply overlap each other. If you make a nice design to go on the painted box part, it'll be weird and stretched-out on the sideskirt rail. If you instead make a design that fits on the sideskirt rail (with a 2048x256 texture, for example), it'll be weirdly compressed on the painted box.

The situation kind of sucks either way, and believe me I spent an entire afternoon trying to get combinations of accessories and UV maps that worked better, but this is the best you can do. I'd personally recommend you ignore sp2p_b1p and just make it a solid colour, don't try to fit a logo or complicated design onto it, it won't work that well.

@Carsmaniac Ok! Thx! I suppose, at first, that it was my problem with this template! ;)
