Skin Templates for Current Game Version (v1.54)
Hello everyone!

I decided to take a break from skinning from another game, so I went doing stuff here in ETS2. I checked out Carsmaniac's awesome templates and tried it out. My work showed in the game although it was misplaced because of the updated models of the Volvo FH4 (I am making a skin for the Sleeper model).

Where can I get the new models' templates or how can I do one?

If you guys need further elaboration, please do not hesitate asking me as well! Many thanks.

For information: Carsmaniac's most recent Templates post is for v1.48.:steamhappy:
You could go through the most recent replies in Carsmaniacs thread on the SCS forum, often others will share the newer models that aren't in the pack.

As an alternative you can probably find them at the mods studio discord. if you use Mods Studio 2 there's a link to that in the app.

Or a 3rd option, use Blender and create them yourself.

edit, hadn't read your other post before I replied to this one, in your other post I replied with a Google drive link.

I actually started stydying the Blender part. But thank you for your tips as well. I will check the forums later.
For Blender you need this:
https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Documentation/Tools/Conversion_Tools#Download_.26_Installation

this:
https://modding.scssoft.com/wiki/Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Download

this:
https://github.com/mwl4/ConverterPIX

and this:
https://github.com/simon50keda/ConverterPIXWrapper

With those tools installed you can import any model from SCS directly from the .scs file into Blender (no need to convert it prior) and edit it and make a mod with it, or just make templates for trucks and trailers.
Also works for getting models from mods into Blender, if they are in a folder structure you need to make it into a zip file first.

Latest Blender version that is supported is 3.6

There is an unofficial Blender Tools thread on the SCS forum that is supposed to work on a more current, if not the latest version of Blender, not sure how well that works, not used it myself.

By the way, may I get your Discord contact?
Don't really use Discord, just sometimes when I'm looking for information.
I noticed your request, but I have my reasons for not accepting them, if you have questions about paint jobs or creating mods/Blender in general just ask them here on Steam.

Everyone can see your questions and help you here, my knowledge is very limited.

That is noted. Thank you

Slr. Here is my current problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZncFfSBLfUEEqk75SiujnjPYzZ3CR5xv/view?usp=sharing

The other side of the cabin isn't there (I tried fixing it while watching tutorials, but of no use). I also do not know how to combine all parts (I know "Join") in UV since they have their own places (of which I do not know where they should be).

If I combine them all with "Join", this happens: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zT_0UgmQDwJMwfn6Hj12Dfj5glh6-M68/view?usp=sharing

In the image where you see "carpaint color" (left window of Blender) to the right of that is a box where you can select which UV to use, with only the cab selected use UV_1, like so

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3503206159

You have to do that for other parts aswell, usually do them one by one and when that's done select them all in object mode and then select edit mode for the UV.
You can also do them separately and combine in Photoshop (or any other app that uses layers) if that's easier.
Keep in mind that not all parts may have a UV_1, in that case don't add them.

For a full template you may also need to add other parts that are not on the main cab, iike side fenders or wind deflectors (not sure what the names are, but the ones that go behind and on top of the cab) for example, some other parts like side skirts sometimes have their own template and sometimes they are fit on the main template.

It can be a bit of a puzzle.
