[TOOL] - Templates for 3rd UVMap - 1.9.x Skins

[Wolfi]

So in general I don't have to bother with 3rd uv maps at all? ;p

[ohaha]

nope

Edit: unless you don't wont your users to complain about not being able to apply the default skins (if applicable).

Yes you do.
That way all vanilla skins will work with your trucks

[Wolfi]

Well tbh I can always add "old-style-vanilla" skins to my models, that way, every model may have it's skins fitted in a good looking way instead of some random "hope it looks ok" way ;p

[WerewolfCustoms]

Yea.

BTW, I'm wondering, what's going on with your T-Series... the skins don't work anymore on it...

[Wolfi]

The T series is now at the Blender service station awaiting for it's turn to undergo a huge tuning and maintenace.

[WerewolfCustoms]

Awesome!

Looking forward to it. (again)

Well, nothing can be text-ed, except the back the cab, I guess.
These are mainly for artistic shapes etc.

Oh, and another thing... If you follow SCS Software's example you can use the same skins on different trucks. That is a brilliant idea, actually. No more endless editing to have a full fleet, just a one time deal.

Thanks for this ohaha. Quick question. Where can I find SCS Software's example on how to do this? Also, the code you mention changing in the first post, where is that exactly? Thanks! I'm just learning how to do this.

SCS example is in almost all the default skins.
The code goes into the skin definition.
If you make one dds you can then make skins for all trucks with it, by creating just the definitions for each truck.
