Hey everyone! I’ve recently started making mods, and to be as brief as possible in this opening I’ll straight up admit I’m going completely self taught from forums and fillman on YouTube. I’ve gotten the engine swap I’m currently working On (a 2jz in a hopper) to work completely fine. I got everything positioned realistically and got most of the texture errors ironed out but I’m having major issues troubleshooting one texture issue. And who better to ask than all of you! I’ll attach pictures of the current project to better show the issue. More context as well, there’s no error messages coming up in the debug menu, which is where I’m now lost. Also one final thing I noticed, before I got it positioned correctly and everything I else working the engine had textures. I’ll attach a picture of that as well.
It is very likely that you have joined the engine block to other components without changing its UV map path. As a result, your UV map for said object is non existing, causing it to use a black corner of the texture. Don't worry, original mapping is still there, this video has a good explanation for your problem, hope it helps! From self taught to self taught
I appreciate the help and link! I’m gonna check that video out now and see what I can do, I’ll update the thread accordingly --- Post updated --- Okay phat update. My man Benjamin up there your advice is what helped me fix the texture issues!! Best believe I’ll start pumping out some engine swaps for the people the more I get the hang of this. But I’ve ran into a final issue to fix with this swap. The cam gears are rotating not correctly at all lol. Instead of spinning they are well, rotating in a circumference. I got some screen shots. If anyone has a fix for this one lmk
Make sure that orientation of the gears in object mode is set to zero and adjust it in edit mode instead. For rotating objects, pivot point must be centered to the object itself, rather than the 3d cursor, otherwise it orbits the center rather than spins. And timing belt could use the UV map treatment aswell.
Appreciate you big time dude!! I got the mod done, and threw it on the forums for people to either enjoy or laugh at it’s not the greatest mod ever made but I think it’s neat for a thrown together test at modding! Thanks for the help again g
