Yes it's possible, for some reason upon export occasionally SC4BAT will apply incorrect settings to the UV maps which designate how the texture wraps around the S3D model. Click on the Vert. tab and you will have a list of values for X, Y, Z, U & V. Don't change X, Y or Z under any circumstances, this is the LOD of your models coordinates. The values for U & V are what you need to edit, it's a bit hard to explain how exactly these work.

 

Here is a better explanation than I can give you from

 

"Pay some attention to the vertex U and V values. These are vertex-to-texture mappings, determining which point of the texture the vertex corresponds to, and are given values in the 0.0..1.0 range (0.0 means the leftmost or topmost, while 1.0 the rightmost or bottommost point of the texture)."

 

And in the BAT thread this problem is mentioned under "MY BAT IS DISTORTED".

 

Hopefully that gives you an insight into the problem here, it might be worth trying to contact the creator of the model, a simple re-export should fix the problem if they are still around.

Head over to my Lot and Mod Shack to keep abreast of my latest developments.

Do you like custom textures, but don't like all the work involved creating them?, take a look at the Texture Automation options here. Change the look and feel of your transit networks, with the minimum of effort, for example customised versions of my Sidewalk NAM (SWN) and Terrain Grass NAM (TGN) mods, and much more besides.

    Thanks! Doubling the U values in Vert tab fixed the problem.
