Unfortunately yeah it's gonna mean remaking every 3D kit for 17/18 that has already been made, as well as any templates (that'll take a long while), disappointing but ultimately it'll be good for the game, as the textures are twice as big now and have more options with the long and short sleeves
Here's the new layout. It's a bit crude for now but it works at least for simpler kits. I'll polish it more during weekend. Bottom are shorts, socks in the middle, sleeves on the right.
nice templates ...we have to do more again and our 3D templates packs will not use FM18 anymore ......oh well hopeful anyone kit maker keep going for 3D kits in the future!
Not sure where to post but why does kits from FM17 not work in FM18?
New player models use different textures. For example, chest is now maped from upper left corner (it was in the middle before).
It was expected simply because it doesn't make much sense for a 3d artist to create new model and then bother himself with how was old model textured. He has to do texture maping from scratch anyway so he does it in his own way.
Besides, old model had some limitations, for example long and short sleeves shared same zone so you couldn't make realistic hands in long sleeves if short sleeves had a horizontal band (which was often).

Yes, we need new wip for FM18 and new download section for 3d kits. Old one still works for FM17 and it'll be good for people who won't switch to FM18
Outstanding effort bolid!
Do you think all the parts from old kits could be adapted to the new template, so no need to create kits from scratch? Hopefully without lose quality?
Is it possibile to see a screenshot of that Lokomotiva Zagreb kits in game?
I feel very sorry for all the kitmakers who put lots of time and dedication to create all these stunning 3d kits.
Keep the good work and don't give up.
Resizing stuff to the right size generally loses a bit of the sharpness, it's not a massive drop but you can kind of see here in my York kits that I patched together, mainly the collar

You can grab parts from old texture and resize them and cover coresponding parts on new texture, as Smithy demonstrated above. Some minor issues might arise, like lines not aligning well from sleeves to shoulders. There's always a loss of quality when you resize parts but you can make this problem minimal by making a FM18 texture 512x512 as well. I made few textures in that way and it's not perfect but it's acceptable for first weeks.
I experimented a bit more and here I present an improved texture layout for kit makers.
I included standard Adidas 3 lines. Also in yellow a typical Nike side line which goes from sides of the body to the inside of sleeves.
I also included white bottom band/border which is very often found on bottoms of shirts, shorts and sleeves.
I marked the area where numbers and names are placed so don't put logos in those areas.
Socks don't share same surface after all.
Top work Bolid as always, what's the yellow line on the long sleeves? Seems odd that it's slanted but then you know the kit templates!
Long sleeves are narrower on the bottom, like on old template. Yellow line is following the border of maped surface. I left the long sleeves look like a rectangle, but they're actually narrower on the bottom

Sure? Now every 3d kit must be do (create) new, or not? Every???

Why? Serie A has original kits.

There are no tools yet to unpack their archives

Yes but they are not good and accurate like those made by the kitmakers

No...They will only work for FM17
