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!

IMPORTANT!

Diffuse with R as Wear, G as Snow, B as Dirt

• Models should not be over 400K polys for a Vehicle
• Check your measurements/scale before importing! (will save you alot of time)
• Do not Apply location in blender after rigging as this will move its pivot point
• When texturing the Diffuse is the Dirt/Wear/Snow Texture
• The Red channel in the Diffuse is Wear
• The Green channel in the Diffuse is Snow
• The Blue channel in the Diffuse is Dirt
• And the Diffuse need a solid black background
