    Hello, me again.

    I need someone who is good with co-making a mod I'm working on. Specifically, I need someone who knows how to make car badges, and the slots for them, so I can use them on my NAZ Car Pack mod, because they are all currently unbadged and I really want them to have the correct badges, but I don't know how to do it and I'd rather just have someone else make them because I really suck at figuring this stuff out. So, if you know how to make badges please let me know and we can chat on this forum.

    Oh, I almost forgot! If you do know how, Further details are here:
    Every car (except the NAZ-ALINA 2112 Legenda and NAZ-ALINA Semya) are going to use this badge:
    naznoback.png
    And the NAZ-ALINA 2112 Legenda and NAZ-ALINA Semya are going to use this badge:
    alinanoback.png
    obviously they should be a bit more, uh, real looking and shiny, but you get the point.

    Oh, and if you know how to make the badges and you understand everything I just said, feel free just to edit the files of the mod so they can have the proper badges, and just re-send it to me. I'll give credit in the mod too, obviously.

    Hey, so it’s me again, and while I won’t have access to Beam or my computer anytime soon sadly, I can still do most of the thing, send it and then tell you the rest.

    Could you send over a materials file from any vehicle? I just need the base for material files so I can add materials for the badges :p

    Where exactly/what exactly do you mean by that? I'm not quite sure where or what to look for there, is it just in the local files or something? Because if all you need are the files from the Miramar badges or whatnot, I could probably find those. (Plus with the addition of ETK, Hopper, Barstow, and Burnside vehicles to the mod there's going to end up being a lot of badges on a lot of cars- thankfully they're all basically going to use the same one like the thing said.) But I could probably find the material file if you can tell me which one- because I have a lot for some odd reason. Actually, there might be a material file inside the file link on my first message up there ^^^

    Go to any vanilla car’s files, and find and send main.materials.json.
    All I need is a reference on how a material file’s structure looks like, because I forgot and can’t check myself

    Actually, nevermind that. I can just download my mod and look how it looks there lol

    Ah. Like I said, might be in that file I had attached, but if not when I get the chance to view my PC files I'll send a main.materials.json file to you ASAP. :)

    Oh, okay! Thanks again 100 times for doing this!

    Even if my mod is going to be a bit on the basic side, it helps to have good members of the community on your side. :)

    All that’s needed is to add the badges as parts, and in Blender, add some flat planes to a .dae, move them into position of the badges and name their materials to naz for the normal one, and naz_alina for the alina.
    If something looks rotated or shows up on the wrong side, just play around with Blender’s UV mapping and rotating the badge mesh.

    What I did: add textures and materials for the badges
    What needs to be done: all that crap I just mentioned

    Wait, then how did you do the 3D modelling? A different software perhaps?

    The 3D modelling for what exactly? All the parts for the facias and stuff came from other modpacks and the NAZ 5102, 6102, 7102, and 1212 facias were made by another user. I, well, didn't actually do anything model-wise, and I have no clue how to use blender and make things the right size to fit on the cars and stuff.

    Yeah, sorry, but the only things I actually know how to do, are:


    Make configs with descriptions

    Make skins using Notepad++


    Other than that, I'm useless and very clueless when it comes to modding.

    Okay I went through an hour-long video and Blender still refuses to work or make any sense


    which is giving me some serious stress


    because Blender is overcomplicated AF and as previously stated,

    I'm stupid.

    :p
    --- Post updated ---
    UPDATE: I really hate Blender


    modding with it is horrible


    why is it so complicated?


    There's literally NO tutorials on what I want to do with the badges and I have no idea how to make things parts, and I can't even get TEXTURES or any SHAPES or ANYTHING in Blender

    Yeah, just very, very, very frustrated with Blender.

    And myself.

    (Might) scrap the badge idea too since I am not able to work Blender properly.
