[08/06/2020 UPDATE]
Hello everyone,
This thread is the place for those of you that are into advanced car texturing.
Below is the download link for some useful ressources package. It contains UV maps for each set of texture, as well as the 3D model of the car and some baked maps in bonus.
RESSOURCES DOWNLOAD LINK
List of maps with their compression format (make sure to use D3D9 presets and not DX10+) :
SKIN
- Skin_B --------------------- .dds BC1 --------------------- Basecolor / RGB
- Skin_R --------------------- .dds BC5 --------------------- Roughness Metalness / RGB
- Skin_CoatR --------------- .dds BC4 --------------------- Varnish layer / Grayscale
- Skin_DirtMask ----------- .dds BC4 ---------------------- Dirt mask / Grayscale
Skin_CoatR map handles the clearcoat, glitter paint effect. If the texture is not in the zip, CoatR evolves according to roughness and metalness values
DETAILS
- Details_B ------------------ .dds BC1 --------------------- Basecolor / RGB
- Details_R ------------------ .dds BC5 --------------------- Roughness Metalness / RGB
- Details_I ------------------- .dds BC3 --------------------- Self-illumination / RGB + Alpha channel
- Details_N ------------------ .dds BC5 --------------------- Normal / RGB
- Details_DirtMask -------- .dds BC4 --------------------- Dirt mask / Grayscale
WHEELS
- Wheels_B ------------------ .dds BC1 -------------------- Basecolor / RGB
- Wheels_R ------------------ .dds BC5 -------------------- Roughness Metalness / RGB
- Wheels_N ------------------ .dds BC5 -------------------- Normal / RGB
- Wheels_DirtMask -------- .dds BC4 -------------------- Dirt mask / Grayscale
GLASS
- Glass_D -------------------- .dds BC1 -------------------- Basecolor / RGB
- Glass_I --------------------- .dds BC5 -------------------- Self-illumination / RGB + Alpha channel
Glass_D : tint is for the glass color, and luminosity sets the opacity
The normal map type is OpenGL (Y+)
_R maps (ex: Skin_R) are using the red channel as Roughness and green channel as Metalness
_I maps (ex: Details_I) use specific greyscale values in the alpha channel to define a role for the RGB channels
Thanks to xrayjay for the table
Also note that the shader now handles AO map ("prelight") blending, that means you don't have to apply it (bake it) to the textures anymore.

To import the skin in-game
Zip the textures together along with an Icon.tga file, and place the .zip in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Trackmania\Skins\Model s\CarSport
Then open the game, open your club, go to the Skins page, press the Upload a skin button and browse for the .zip. Back to the skin menu, display the one you want using the arrows, and check the heart on the right (must looks filled). Then go back to the main menu to open your profile by clicking on your ID on the top left, and select the skin. Voilà !
What you can't do
- import your own 3D model (for now)
- use normal maps on Skin
- modify the gameplay displays on the car (player position / ID ; turbo color ; digits color : rear lights and glass gears)
- disturb space-time continuum
And that's it for customization. We wish you a happy painting! See you online with your best outfits![]()
Please
add original engine files and original details
of an original nation standard skin
( in gray as before in tm1 and tm2 ):
engine sound files
and
original skin files:
details-diffuse
details prelight,
skin-shadow,
skin-dirty,
skin prelight,
and if available:
skin damage
skin-illum
details-dirty
details-damage
of course everything with the new basic requirements:
image file names,
sizes,
and
file types.
that would be great
Hi Wazoooo0, i was coming back to del my ask and saying that problem is resolved.
The old fbx i used was from the MCYC's first tuto on YT. But in a recent one, he fixed it.
Btw, still another question ( I have thousands even if i'm familiar with skinning).
I'm pretty sure that no, but, is there a way to skin the pilot ?
And, last one, can you come back to the system when we were able to refresh the skin ingame ?
Hello, glad to hear that your issue is solved
I'm pretty sure that no, but, is there a way to skin the pilot ? well with a good knife maybe, otherwise not possible indeed. Maybe locally using open planet or so
can you come back to the system when we were able to refresh the skin cannot tell for now
And since the car model has been extracted as seen in the tuts you are referring to, we'll join the model directly in the doc in the next update for those using 3D painting software
Don't hesitate if you have other questions, it can help others and us as well building the doc
Hi ,
and thanks you guys for sharing.
Too bad for the uncustomisable pilot.
About the xxx_I alpha tones, the energy, turbo and boost, you say that they have to be grayscale. But I tried to put color, and it illuminates the color I chose mixed to the yellow or red (for the turbo by example). Can be cool too.
Can we are more explanations about the energy illum ? Lighting in red or blue according to the team ? Light/colorisation is permanent in team match or not ?
Sorry about my bad english![]()
