Re: Retexturing vehicles?

not sure what you mean. You can edit textures in textures editor. the trailer skin is probably in a .ytd file. The model file (.yft) can contain embedded textures but as far as I know, you can extract/edit/pack these textures back. You can import a model and edit it's mapping on texture (texture lay...

Re: Issue regarding validitating.

@whateverfloatsurgoat,
"Platform ID not found" means there is no your platform ID on account you've specified. In most of cases, this is a misspell in ID in your web account.
Once the above is resolved, you should get no issue later on with license key.

Re: Ambient occlusion question

artifacts are usually caused by inaccuracy of math inside 32-bit floating point values. An extremely high or low values in computation (very big or very small objects), or very tiny triangles in a mesh. another reason could be an object scale not being reset to {1, 1, 1}. If you have a scaled object...

Re: Any guide to make animations from scratch?

you can not apply animation to a cloth. The geometry could be either cloth-simulated OR animated with .ycd clip. The cloth is a stand-alone object inside .yft file that is linked to vehicle's root bone (chassis). It has some static (not moving or cloth-simulated) points to "hang the cloth on th...

Re: Ambient occlusion question

I quick-tested an unwrapped cylinder with AO render and see nothing specific. I advise to make a render with no other objects visible in scene, so nothing affects the rendered object at all (just to check self-shadows in AO render). There should be no artifacts in such a render; then you can render ...

Re: Car windows affects emiss texture

emissive shader and glass shader have the same priority in game. I advise to move (drag&sort) emissive material in materials browser up (so it goes prior to other materials).

Hello.
The "account setup" page should contain your account name only. The password field is optional and should be left blank. In your web account, your platform ID should have an option "allow this platform to log in" enabled and "use access password" disabled.

Re: How to create a ped?

the game was unable to load your model or some required component is missing to compose the ped model (e.g. a metadata file refers to some component that is not available in your .ydd file). In-game a build-in placeholder is shown when model failed to load.

Re: material reflection no changes

Reflection strength is no longer controlled by material. There are no settings in material to make reflection stronger/weaker in game. There was a similar topic where this was discussed.

Re: GTA V Extras problem with ELS Lightbar (turns white on distance)

the visual artifacts on distances are usually caused by either of two reasons: 1. your L1 model has no associated geometry to draw, that L0 does. 2. your front-geometry (polygons) are way too close some other polygons right behind these "front" polygons, so some distance-artifacts (Z-buffe...

I don't see your screenshot. attach (some of) window objects to chassis or "bodyshell" object, so these windows are no longer a separate parts/objects. Then test in game. Just to make sure the game can draw an associated geometry (the materials setup is correct). If this does not give any ...

Re: YDR Animation

YDR models can have a skeleton inside too, so they could be animated (technically). However, I don't know how the internals of the game works, there might be some limitations on this ability for ydr models.

Re: Texture not showing through window

your logo material has the same priority as the glass material. The logo should be drawn first (before glass material). To do so, make sure the object with logo is higher in a hierarchy, than ANY other object that uses glass material. this was in detail described here: https://forum.zmodeler3.com/vi...
