Welcome to modding for Bergsbruk! our goal has been to make this as easy as possible to add your own stuff, but remember you can only make stuff you legaly have ALL rights to (And you cant sell mods). Good Luck!

Software

Required Software:

Optional Software:


Creating a Asset for Bergsbruk:


Modeling

Modeling for Bergsbruk is the same as for most games, with 2k-400k polys is recommended as anything above 400K gets tough for lowend users.

Mods in Bergsbruk are "encrypted" (not open to edit like FS) that way only the person with the mod project files can make edits, that also makes most bought models "legal" to use.

Any 3D software that support FBX export can be used but we recommend Blender.


Fillplanes

All dirt moving Machinery/Attachements need 8 Fillplanes that range from 0 to 100% full and a Dirt Cut Edge that looks like the one in the pic but match the bucket or blade.

Dumpers & Trucks and other stuff that transport dirt only need 8 Fillplanes that range from 0 to 100% full

Loaders & Excavators that only have attachers do not need Fillplanes or the Dirt Cut Edge none|frame|The Fillplane for the dozer, this is the 100% (full blade) one visible, Under this there are one fillplane at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, Making it 8 fillplanes in total.

Exporting

This is pretty simple, Export as Fbx to your texturing software, Bada bing bada booom almost done!

Texturing

Texturing for Bergsbruk is pretty simple, The UV mapping is the same boring thing it always been but when painting the Diffuse you only Paint Red for Wear, Green for Snow, Blue for Dirt, The machine/assets colour is in a diffrent place later on.

Paint Red for Wear, Green for Snow, Blue for Dirt

The diffuse needs to have a Solid Black background behind the Red Green Blue.

The Normal map and AO are made just like in any other game,

You can NOT use any Roughness or Metallic as this changes with Wear/Snow/Dirt

You can add wear to plastic and other stuff aswell, its editable later what the wear shows.

Do not use any textures over 2048x2048 as this will cause issues,

Use multiple materials in the model to use multiple texture sets if you want to.
