Files

All required image files are contained in zip excluding LoD. You select one of fbx files then copy and rename it.

Image

heavytruck_template.xcf	GIMP	_d, _s, _c, _i
heavytruck_normalmap.xcf	GIMP	_n
ht_d	PNG	main texture
ht_s	PNG	specular

If you don't use GIMP, use PNG files.

3D Model

You choose a fbx then copy and rename it to ht.fbx.

• ht_8x4.fbx
  
  This is a standard 8x4 model. This is the same as Heavy Truck.
  
  
• ht_8x4S.fbx
  
  This was modified only side guard from ht_8x4. Used in KONOIKE Heavy Truck.
  
  
• ht_6x2.fbx
  
  This standard 6x2 model is equipped with a large tyre than 8x4. The vehicle of 3.78m in height is the same height as the 8x4 (3.8m is the regulation in Japan). So, the body will be slightly smaller. Used in Heavy Truck (6x2).
  
  
• ht_6x2E.fbx
  
  This is a tall 6x2. Height is 3.94m, and the size of the body is the same as 8x4.
  
  
• ht_6x2N.fbx
  
  Removed air deflector from ht_6x2.

LoD

You should copy either file as ht_lod.fbx.

• ht_8x4_lod.fbx
  LoD for All 8x4 class.
  
  
• ht_6x2_lod.fbx
  LoD for All 6x2 class.

Paint

If you want to edit PNG directly you must fill that body and cab is transparent color.

How to use XCF

1. Open the heavytruck_template.xcf
   
   This has been already painted the same image as the NITTSU Heavy Truck.
   
   
2. Select a fbx type.
   
   
   
3. Choose a face type.
   
   
   
   
   
4. Paint it.
   
   Basically paint from paint1 layer to paint4 layer. By doing so, the shadow will correctly effect.
   
   Note that the white at the cab is 0.6 gray. if you paint a true white, you will see a shining bright truck. Similarly, at the body, you should paint more dark.
   
   UVmap is almost the same in all models. However, The pixel aspect ratio on the body with ht_6x2 and ht_6x2N is 1.0:0.956. You should paint stretched to x1.046 in vertical on the body. In other models, its 1:1.
   
   
5. Export as ht_d.png.
   
   
6. Switch to visible the group _c.
   
   
   
7. Select a face type.
   
   You have to select an appropirate face type.
   
   
8. Export as ht_c.png.
   
   
9. Export group _s as ht_s.png in the same way.

Normalmap

1. Open the heavytruck_n.xcf.
   
2. Select the same type as ht_d in the face and fbx.
   
3. Export as ht_n.png.
