Cars Convert obj or fbx to kn5

[DerEyve]

Hey,

I'm currently trying to develop a software that will be able to tune cars. I also want to be able to make tunings like skirts, hoods etc, but for that I need to compile obj or fbx files to a kn5 file. But I have no idea how I could do that or if there even is a software or script published, that can do this.

Thanks

The supplied ksEditor can convert FBX files to KN5.

Hey, are there any functions for the command line available?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. There's a provided editor available in "/Steam/steamapps/common/Assetto Corsa Editor/".
A small tip if you have low resolution: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/...e-low-rez-i-cant-change-it.30767/#post-636850

If you haven't got it installed, try this one: https://ascobash.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/kseditor/
It's a modded version of the Kunos tool, as I cannot seem to find how to install the official one.

So called kseditor doesnt work for me at all... First of all, it takes good 5-10 minutes to load the model, the model is full black with a ton of reflection like its made of obsidian and below the model is huge ball with same color and reflections... Its lagging as heck aswell and making my PC burn... But aside of that, I get an error "material blah blah null" and I cant export to kn5 at all thanks to that... In Blender that same car looks normal as it should, in the car folder I have another folder called "texture" with all textures (around 51 textures and approx 91 materials) and the kseditor can see everything but refuses to render anything except the things I mentioned before... I need a legit working tool that could export my hard work into a proper kn5 file cuz this is quite ridiculous... So many hours of work and I get stuck on a simple thing like this... Being unable to export due to no textures and materials even though its all there...

Material null error should name a specific mesh that has no materials attached to it. Every object in the fbx needs a material.

For what the materials look like, you need to set those up in kseditor. AC doesn't use Blender's material properties, all you'll tend to get is very incorrect diffuse/ambient values, and it defaults to a shader that's not very suitable for cars.

ks5 editor cant load my fbx files im getting an error when importing
is there an alternative for it?

3dSimEd or look for blender kn5 export plugins.

The clean solution would be to find what causes these errors. Scaling or no assigned material on one of the meshes are the most common.
