You can report bugs with the addon here, but please include problematic. The default settings are: Forward -Z and Up Y.
Orientation: The default settings in the plugin correspond to the FlightGear coordinate system (-X forward and Z up, also see: Howto:3D_Aircraft_Models). Notice that since AC3D only support 1 texture per object, if multiple textures are attached to an object in Blender the last of the textures that has any data, if any, will be the one that get exported, but it will still warn about the missing data in the others, so take care. Pull down the top bar to see if there was any, they will be orange lines. The exporter will not fail if it tries to save a texture without data, instead it will issue warnings. The importer will not fail if it does not locate a texture, instead it will issue warnings. If you want to export/import a color for those, import/export options gives you capability to choose to use Blenders mirror color for that. 
Be aware that Blender only has greyscale for emission and ambient colors. In such cases blender addon scripts are placed in: $HOME/.config/blender/X.YY/scripts/addons/ (where X.YY is blender version, for example 2.82). In recent Ubuntu versions blender is distributed as a snap image. For for example Ubuntu 14.04LTS/Blender 2.79b it is: /usr/share/blender/scripts/addons/. If you wonder where to put the scripts you could open blender's user preferences ( Ctrl+ Alt+ U, or File > User Preferences) tick for example Import/Export and extent the information concerning an existing script. Hand editing the materials section of the exported AC3D file might fix this. The final model might display color mismatches (Texture color vs Material color) when viewed in Flightgear. An example plane that will look very different if this is not done is the FGAddon aircraft ASK-13, notice the wingtips. To see textured surfaces as they will be shown in FlightGear, go into the material texture and set the blend type to Multiply instead of the default Mix (the importer will also do this automatically). Alternatively set textured solid in solid view. Inside Blender when you want to see the textures, be sure to set the shader to GLSL (or for 2.7+ just set view mode to materials). Before you export make sure to exit Edit Mode or some of your last changes won't be exported. Before you export a model with this addon, make sure that you set the UV map and texture inside the material, not just inside the UV editor.

The prominent add-on for using AC3D files in Blender is called Blender-AC3D. #AC3D TUTORIALS UPGRADE#
If you bought before that date the upgrade costs $34.95.Importing and exporting AC3D files Note Modern versions of Blender (2.5+) require an add-on to work with AC3D (.
#AC3D TUTORIALS UPDATE#
Owners of AC3D who bought a copy some time after December 2008 can update for free.
#AC3D TUTORIALS TRIAL#
You can test AC3D free for a 14-day trial period. As I said then, while it doesn’t have the slickest of user interfaces, it is a highly capable program and great value for money. In the intervening period several point updates have been released adding features such as an iPhone Development Library, improved texturing and support for export of models into Google Earth (see the AC3D forum).įeatures new to the 6.7 release include improved Windows 7 and 64-bit support arrow keys now nudge the selection in the Texture Coordinate Editor Render to Texture plugin now included Knife plugin included with all versions, plus various other fixes and minor changes.Įssentially, AC3D 6.7 looks and works just like the version 6.0 release which we reviewed previously. We reviewed version 6.0 of AC3D four years ago.
#AC3D TUTORIALS SOFTWARE#
The latest version of AC3D, the low-cost 3D modelling software, has gained a few useful new capabilities including support for the Collada file format to exchange objects with other software or import models from Google’s 3D Warehouse.
#AC3D TUTORIALS MAC OSX#
