I have created 2 models that contain spheres with all the materials, just install them as you would a custom made car model and you can view them in showroom to see them in detail, I included reference images in each zip file

Exporting video (made by Red Dot)

***Helpful Exporting Tips***

• Make sure you use:
Collider as name for your collider.fbx
Model as name for your car model.fbx
• Make sure you TICK Generate colliders for model and collider
• Make sure you UNTICK Import lights for model and collider
• Make sure you UNTICK Import cameras for model and collider
• Make sure the car folder is highlighted in blue before clicking create car bundle


Bodyconfig.txt File: This will tell the game how certain section unmount on your car

Name.txt File: -- You can set the name of your vehicle

Parts.txt File: -- This allows you to add your parts to shop for your car

Config.txt File: -- This is the main file of your car

Config1.txt File: -- This allows you to add another variation of your car


What you need to do is to generate thumbnails + create parts.txt next to config.txt and bodyconfig.txt and enter part names with prices.

Example for some modded mitsubishi evolution :

<parts.txt>
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-bumper_front=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-bumper_rear=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-door_front_left=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-door_front_right=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-door_rear_left=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-door_rear_right=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-fender_front_left=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-fender_front_right=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-front_end=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-headlight_left=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-headlight_right=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-hood=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-mirror_left=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-mirror_right=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-taillight_left=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-taillight_right=100
car_mitubishi_evolution_6-trunk=100

(will be updated)

Note before starting:
UV's do not work on tuning parts at time of writing this
limit of 3 tuning parts per panel example hood2,hood3,hood4 that is max at this time
You need to start from 2 because default parts are classed as 1

so we will use hood2 for a car as an example:

1.in blender make a new hood call it hood2 i think pivots and location still need to be correct

2.Export from blender as a hood2.fbx

3.import hood2.fbx into your car folder in unity

4.you should see something like this
*material folder
*texture folder
*collider
*model
*hood2

5.Now do normal tick generate colliders and untick cameras and lights

6.create car bundle

7.now put car into cars folder

8.add hood2 to parts.txt

9.generate thumbnail seems bit clunky for me so it is not important

10.you should now have hoodB in game but it wont be in tuning shop it will be in body parts shop
