Checking and fixing the model

The result page

A finished 3D Generator prop opens in a 3D editor. The model stands on a floor grid; drag to turn the camera, scroll to zoom and drag with the right mouse button to move it.

1. 11. FiveM .zip: the ready resource
2. 22. Model stats: triangles, size in metres, grid
3. 33. Remove unwanted parts
4. 44. Select, Rotate, Scale, Paint: edit tools
5. 55. Show size: a person or object for scale

The strip at the top left shows the triangle and vertex count, the number of meshes, the size in metres and the size of one grid cell. The question mark at the bottom right lists every control and key.

Checking the size

GTA uses real-world units: one unit is one metre. Show size places a reference next to the prop at its real size, so you see at once whether a coffee cup came out the size of a car.

123

1. 11. Reference: on and off
2. 22. Michael · 1.88 m: people, a door, a car or a chair
3. 33. On body: snap to a hand, the head or the chest

• References: Michael, Franklin and Trevor, a door, a sedan and a chair.
• With a character selected, On body snaps the prop to the right hand, the left hand, the head or the chest to check the fit.

Rotate and scale

Rotate and Scale in the tool bar show handles on the model and a panel with exact values. The prop should stand upright with its base on the grid, because that is how it spawns in game.

123

1. 11. Rotate (R)
2. 22. Scale to size: one click to a typical size
3. 33. Rotation (°): exact angles and 90° steps

• Scale

  A slider and X, Y and Z fields, with ×0.5, ×1 and ×2 steps.

• Scale to size

  Sets the longest side in one click: Handheld 30 cm, Prop 1 m, Person 1.8 m or Vehicle 4.5 m.

• Rotation (°)

  Exact angles per axis, and 90° and 180° turns around the vertical axis.

Keys: V select, R rotate, S scale, P paint, Esc one step back.

Removing unwanted parts

Photos with a floor, a table or background objects can leave extra pieces on the model. Remove unwanted parts at the top right cuts them away.

123

1. 11. Click a piece / Draw a box: select what should go
2. 22. Remove selected: undo works until you save
3. 33. Save cleaned prop: starts a free rebuild

• Click a piece selects a separate piece and shows it in red.
• Draw a box selects everything inside a box, including parts behind it. Use it for pieces attached to the prop.
• Rotate view lets you check the red selection from another side before you remove it.

Remove selected takes the red parts away; Undo last removal brings them back. Save cleaned prop applies the cut with a free rebuild. The original prop stays available.

Material and paint

With Select active, click the model to open its Material panel: a shader preset, the base colour, roughness, metalness, normal scale and UV tiling.

1. 11. Material: the clicked mesh

Paint opens a painter with brush, eraser and fill. Paint straight on the model or on the flat texture in the panel; the expand button gives the texture more room. Use it to cover a blotchy spot or an area the photo did not show.

1. 11. Paint (P)
2. 22. Texture: paint here or straight on the model

Rebuilding

Changes in the editor are a preview until you rebuild. As soon as there is a change, a bar appears at the top with Edits pending. There you also set the texture size, the packaging and Low poly for the new version.

123

1. 11. Edits pending: appears after any change
2. 22. Texture size, packaging, Low poly: set them for the new version
3. 33. Rebuild: free, makes a new version

Rebuild starts a new build of the prop with your changes, and Reset discards them. A rebuild is free and usually done within a minute.

1. 11. Pipeline: each stage ticks off live
2. 22. Usually ready in: measured from recent builds
3. 33. Cancel: canceled builds cost nothing

Next: use the prop on your server.
