QUESTION Track doesn't appear in AC Editor.

[Ep1c]

This is my first attempt at modelling and making a track a mod. I've modelled the track in blender and named all the meshes but when I export it to FBX and try to load it in ac editor, I get a grey screen with black circles at the top and bottom. Any help would be welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Make sure you set the export scale right, sounds like your track is microscoply small..

The FAQ/Tutorials pinned at the top of this message board have guides for fbx export settings in blender

Hi Ep1c,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Unfortunately im unshore of the issue just from the explanation. Have you checked the Log file in AC to see if it says anything? It might be useful to have a screen shot of the issue. One other thing you might want to do is upload the track so we can take a look.

You say you get a grey screen with black circles. Is this after loading the track? or does this happen while its loading? does it crash while loading?

I think from what you are saying it might be a scaling issue. As in the track you have made might be the wrong scale to AC.

Cheers,

After loading the grey screen with black circles appears. I will see if changing the scale makes any difference.

I cannot upload the track as this site doesn't allow .fbx or .blend files.
Here is a link of a screenshot: https://gyazo.com/63a277c34e3ad22d2e1f8df216b6efec

I cannot upload the track as this site doesn't allow .fbx or .blend files.

It does allow zip, rar, 7z files, so you could pack it .

Anyway, by the looks of it you have either a problem with the scale, as already suggested. Or your model has no materials/textures ? (though in this case you should get an error from Editor when trying to open it).

In Blender, pay attention to this: http://assettocorsamods.net/threads/car-wheels-missing-on-spawn.702/#post-3277

Hi,

With KSeditor you might want to open options and set PPfilter and weather options so it does not load up every time in black and white and Fog.

For the textures to appear make shore you have all the textures (DDS preferably) in a folder named "texture". You might also want to check your normals are all pointing the right way as AC can only display one sided textures. Also in KSeditor you can select a model by its name and when you double click on it the camera will zoom into it.

You could always zip it up and post it on here or on a sites like mediafire or google and then just post the link on here.

AC works in meters so make shore when exporting to fbx you export to meters and that your scale in the 3d program has been set to meters.

Sorry for my spelling as i'm dyslexic. Also sorry if i'm telling you things you know already. Not shore how much you know.

Cheers,

Check the materials tab and make sure some materials are assigned as well. If there are no textures found, it won't show anything.

Thanks for the response. Where is options in KSeditor?
Here is a link to the file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5K2oNt3rWwBUl9yM0lpMHE0LWc

 

[DrDoomsLab]

Its under Utils - Data Editor. At the bottom of the box that appears is the default weather and ppfilter.

I tryed downloading your file from google but it was locked and needed approval for the download. I think you allowed me but now it says the download is Forbidden.

Ok thanks

edit: changing the weather has no effect

Take screenshots/ print screen of your issues, that way we know exactly what you are talking about

hi, your scene scale is off. I'm having to load in kilometres units . and it appears the track is maybe 100 metre wide. its also far away from centre origin point but only when I rescale it. so its definitely a scaling issue you need to fix,

and the materials are not setup correctly in blender,

I use 3dsmax, and I can tell there is uvw mapping, the textures don't get read though so not sure about that.

btw....well done on getting the spawns set up correctly. usually that's the first hurdle.

So you've gotten it to appear in KSeditor?

not yet, but only because the scale is so messed up and I simply don't know what to set it at.

can a blender man have a quick look at this please ?

 

[Johnr777]

This guy?

 

[luchian]

Downloaded.
Track is very small actually. On a surface of about 200 x 200 meters.
Scale is not "normalized" after modelling.

What do you need ?

 

[luchian]

OK, scale is 1 now. Textures are from texture folder (they were assigned to downloads somewhere, so they would not appear in the editor).

For the size, should it remain the same ? (aka 200m x 200m ?) Or bigger ?

LE: here is the link.
Also, it seems there is an error in the surfaces.ini. The key should be PIT, not 1PIT.

particularly nice use of the polish flag image for the rumble strips btw

Haha. I couldn't find a good enough texture for them.
