Hi,

I have problem when i do the export of this track, I designed from Sketchup and follow a tuto and then I convert with 3Dcrafter, I tried too with 3dsmax the problem is the same.

For this test I used the Texdiff shader, i know it's loft, but it's to try to resolve the problems about this texture

I never had that Problem in the past, but I stopped since 4 years so I guess I lost some Conversion problems

Thanks for your precious help, could be help me to resolve the problem and hope get in the next step

Wrong texture format I assume. Textures must be converted to .ace or .dds prior to export in order to work in-game.

Hi bnsfsubdivision thanks for your help, very strange because I tried with PNG texture convert on ace, and I tried with DDS textures same result as picture, because I used modelconverter x from sketchup to 3Dcrafter and the preview was fine, It's for sure I made mistake but where ???

If you don't have photoshop to convert your textures to dds, I suggest you use the classic RWAceTool (you can find it in your railworks directory). If you can't find it, search for "RWAceTool.exe".

Hi,

This "pink texture" issue is a common thing when using .dds for your models. They have to be in a valid format to process correctly in the exporter. Do not use DDX compression. Assuming you're using GIMP for your .dds saving, all that should be needed is to make sure that the save dialog is set to "compression NONE", "generate mipmaps ON", and "format AUTO". That should make it work.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi GreatNorthener thank you for your answer, it could be that, but I use Photoshop for editing pictures, I will check the settings. But now I know the settings for the DDS I will test it
