[Aqil Huseynov]

Hello, I have been dealing with Liverys since 2018. and I saw too many poly errors in dcs. but some are really glaring and really strange looking issue. I'm going to present these to you, maybe you know some of them, but please someone fix this. have a nice day

I think it’s a bit disingenuous to not mention that the examples here are given with a boosted normal map.

edit: disregard, it seems I misunderstood a conversation elsewhere

We have made a report but it will be very low priority 

thanks

[UPDATED POST] The 3D mesh has changed.  Can be seen in normal maps and regular views in model viewer and in sim.   Changed in 2.8.

Specifically - Main 2 is darker causing a complete seam from top and bottom fuselage on ALL paints. 

New large seams caused by large edge lines which don't follow the original texture normals or texture seams.

This problem is viewed from the normal maps and regular views in model viewer. It's as if the model isn't welded properly. Happening To every paint in the sim.

See Pics for reference.

Control image from 2.7

 

2.8 Anomalies (major Eye sore and visual artifact).

ALL paints have the issue now.  Where as previously they did not.

So it‘s a 3d model issue, not necessarily the normal maps?

Looks like poly issue

Yes. Wonked up smoothing groups.

I think you're right. Original post and title edited.

Some more of this can be seen around the engine just aft of the tail fin, instead of a smooth round-ish look, it looks more like a polygon.

Yes, I believe so.  I tried to update the thread title...but it won't update.  I've updated the verbiage in the description.

[Mach3DS]

Just to clarify, this issue appears over top of the custom Normals that many including myself have implemented.  Which leads me to believe it's a model mesh issue.  

 

Thank you for your time.  Thank you for reading. And I understand that ED, you're doing what you can to tackle the past release issues.  Keep up the good work!

Its the EDGE 2.8 Vertex Render Shader not working with vertex normals getting detected from split polygon element.

Thank you.  So, seems like this should be fixable then?

Just a few more screens.  Seems like there are so many of these that it might be more reasonable to inspect the model from the dev end, rather than trying to find every one via model viewer and posting pics...but you can see it's literally all over the the entire model.

There were similar errors on the wing and these were reported for now.
