Please use this thread for discussing creating and modifying 3D assets for Football Manager mods.

3D asset modding involves extracting meshes, textures, and animations from the game, then editing them in tools like Blender or 3DS Max before importing them back.

Also active in the other Unity thread, but I will want to update stuff here when I get to access the various 3d models. Hopefully there will be enough interest in a FM Modding Discord or some of the like.

Is there any way for me to join it? Would be awesome to do collabs on there!

Once I have all of the 3d models extracted I'll try to put up a link (if that's within tos of SI) to a repository with all 3d assets so people can mess around. Theres meshes for the cones, confection stands, the adboards, floodlights etc. Just need to make sure we also get all the textures exported too so that it doesn't look like a Mesh blob 😁

It is looking bright though!

Can you share the steps you've made to get this far?

Aye sure! 

For the extraction of the 3d files I used Assetstudio instead of assetripper. Mainly because using Assetstudio allows for me to get the fbx and obj files. So I loaded in the files from the StreamingAssets folder (specifically the stadium ones) and extracted the meshes. The issue now is that Assetstudio crashes when trying to extract the textures, but I am sure I can append them from the complete AssetRipper extract.

This the link to the studio!

Edit 1:
Use the newest AssetStudio: https://github.com/aelurum/AssetStudio

After fiddling around yesterday I've extracted all 3d assets in the 2nd build of the game. The link for that Drive folder will be at the bottom of the post. The good news is that the assets are obj and fbx files, so they are importable in blender (which is good because Blender is a very good and free tool), but it might be nice to install a plugin for fbx drag and drop support, will also be at the bottom of the post. 

Furthermore, the camera placements are a bit wonky. We'll need to see how well stuff can translate to the engine but that depends on camera angles and the hope we are able to adjust those as well. The image is a (shitty mock up) combination of multiple different stadium assets. The core is the tall stands and it has a third “layer on top of it” with (admittedly) poopy texturing from me. 

 

When we get past the Unity security patches which seem to prevent us from injection I just want something ready built to go in. The other 3 images are just other assets, but not limited to that. Clothing and all hairs and beards are in it too!

 

Anyway that's the forum update on my end! If you have questions please ask!
