I think that PBR materials give a better result, but as it heavily relies on you having a completely painted map created from outside of the game, it's not easy to use. As a result, does anyone have a backup of old DDS files from before the update? (Including all road decals, and related main materials files)
I made a tutorial on how to download older builds of beamng, it’s very easy, just open the steam console (search on Google) and type download_depot 284160 284161 and the manifest you want. I’m assuming you want 0.22, so that’s : download_depot 284160 284161 7653031711871800317
fantastic, I got it working, thanks one day I'll make a file that holds all these materials with the materials
To be fair, the PBR textures also require a full painted map. I think they're better, but I don't think there is a lot in it, and I think getting the PBR materials to work well is much harder than the old materials. So in that sense the old ones are better for modders. If you do make that file.. it would be lovely if you could share it with us all...
