New Blender Scene + Tutorial

[James Hodge]

I just uploaded a new NCS22 scene to the Downloads. I'll create a new tutorial for this one to help out those new to Blender.

Thanks bud, appreciate this and the work you did on the mod. Looking forward to painting some stuff when I get the time.

Thank you for these scenes and the tutorial. They are great. I do have a couple of questions because I am a noob at blender. I'm basically using it as a carviewer here at work as I am on a mac and carviewer doesn't work on macs.
1: I'm trying to select everything and rotate the models in the viewer but whenever I do try and rotate only the reflection map seems to move. Do you know what the trick is?
2: The image in the viewport the material preview shader shows the reflections really well. But when I render it's a whole lot more diffused or dulled down. Am I missing a setting to get the shinier reflection?
Sorry for the questions I know you said you were just learning Blender too.

1. To rotate around in the viewer, don't click anything but instead hold down your scroll wheel/center button and move your mouse. Then use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
2. The main items to adjust to get a shinier surface are Roughness, Specular, Metallic and Clearcoat. I also have the shiny.mip from the mod applied to some of those to dull things down a bit but if you prefer a more reflective look you can un-link that node and adjust the levels manually.

Thank You! Especially the rotating. I really appreciate the help

No problem! Blender has a pretty steep learning curve but once your get the basics down it's pretty fun to use and experiment with.

 

[James Hodge]

Just a heads up, I had to take down the scenes so I can make some quick changes. I'd used some assets that the creator doesn't want to be available to just anyone so I'm respecting their wishes and editing them out of the scene. I'll have a new version up soon.

New scene is uploaded! This one uses the mod wheels but now has both small and large spoiler options included.

Can you add winged version for options ?
There's no scene or even x-file yet for that version.

Where is the tutorial for using Blender??

I just added it back to the first post. Just note that it is using my personal version of the scene and not the release one, but the differences are minor and the instructions are the same.

James, you are a legend, praise you.

The blender scenes come with a wing option

Thanks a bunch James, made my 1st render with Blender. Thank you for the tutorial, was very helpful! Also thanks for the 3d scene. Thanks you again be watching for other blender scenes!

 

[James Hodge]

Happy to help!

How do I get rid of the pink hue?????

 

[James Hodge]

You must have removed a texture file somewhere, the pink is what Blender uses to represent a missing texture.

mopars also missin the interior textures as well

Yeah I feel like knowing what was done before you got to this point would be vital in figuring out what's wrong since none of this should happen with the stock scene.

Sounds like a reload will be in order. Thanks
