I liked this idea but I don't have photoshop, so I went ahead and created a python script that bulk converts folders of fm24 kits to fm26. I made a UV Remapping tool in Unity, it exports a .exr file which has the UV remap data.

The python script takes a path to the fm24 kits, an output directory, and the path to the .exr remapping file, and it bulk converts the folder by applying the UVs from the .exr to the fm24 kit texture. You will need to have the right python packages installed to use it – numpy, pillow, openexr, imath.

 

I've attached:

-the python bulk conversion script (edit the script to put your paths in)

-my attempt at an .exr remapping file (point the python script to this)

-the Assets folder of my unity project (you only need this if you want to modify the UV mapping – it works with the free version of Unity)

 

I'm more of a technical guy so my remapping isn't perfect, if you want to try to make a better one you can create a new unity project, drop my assets folder in, then go to Tools→FM Kit Remapper to open the window. You should have my remap asset that you can modify, but you may need to select it. When you're done click the Bake button at the bottom to export the .exr

 

Not sure if this will be useful to you guys, I made it for myself since I don't have photoshop, but I thought I may as well share it.

 

Oh, and there's a bug in the unity tool where when you add a new region you may need to close and open the window again to see it take effect. If that doesn't work try changing a line in the code to force a recompile.

Will this improve on the quality? The converted kits from this thread that are now popping up in all threads all face massive massive issues in terms of placement and sleeves alignment. It's horrible, we should definitely fix that before we are mass creating/converting 3D kits.

 

Can we improve on this? I've contacted @kitcreator to see if we can do something here.

At the moment the quality is worse than with Bhawkski's technique – his remapping is much better, but with further development it can be improved. There are some natural issues because of the differences in the UV layouts between 24 and 26 that will always make doing this imperfect, the player models are different after all. I think with a combination of effort between myself (I can work on the tool to add more precise controls, and make it more professional style, and a standalone program), and you guys who have been in the modding community for longer (who know more than me about the templates and would likely be more skilled with the tool to create a better mapping than I can), we could create a better result. Theoretically the best result is one where the proportions and angles are all correct, but there will still always be some blurriness.

 

But yes, at the moment the kits created from this tool are NOT ready for uploading – just for personal use.

Also there is some potential that I can experiment more with other techniques, I can get the FM26 models from the unity build, but I don't know how to get the FM24 model. If I had the fm24 model, then I could attempt some sort of raycasting-based technique or something to find a direct conversion, I think this would be the key to making conversions viable for upload. I'm absolutely open to directly collaborating on this stuff. If you're worried about this causing a ton of bad quality uploads, I can remove the attachments for now until we make something better?

Alright, all I need now is the FM24 kit models – I made a proof of concept for the raycast-based UV remapping scanner. I used the model from this github repo to test it, but it appears to have different UVs from the FM24 kits:

https://github.com/alexmichelet/3dkits-viewer/tree/master

So, the way this works is, it casts rays in all directions from just above the surface of the new model, and when one ray hits both the new and the old model, it considers the hit-points to be the same position on the kit. Then, it finds the UV of that point on the old kit, and the UV of that point on the new kit, and writes those values to the .exr remapping file.

After that's done, I can use the same python script as before to convert the old texture to the new mapping (in this case, I used a UV test texture, then converted that using the remapping). 

 

You can see that between these two models, the remapping worked really well – the alignment and positioning looks essentially perfect, with just a few flaws to correct.

 

So, if somebody can help me find out how to get the FM24 kit models, we should be good to go. Does anyone know if I can get the kit models using the resource archiver? 

 

Once I get the quality perfect I'll post a standalone bulk converter program.

 

This looks really good, nice work!

 

As far as I am aware there is no difference in 3d model between FM 20 and FM 24, I've been using the same model for the Kit Creator and Bulk Generator for years. Looking at your preview, I think you got the y-axis flipped, other than that it should be fine.

 

Just to clarify, I think I looked into something similar a while back, did you have to edit the 3d model for this to work well? Basically, the old and new models have to be as close as possible, right? Might be interesting for a potential PES/FM or FIFA/FM converter, too (I think that's what I was investigating at the time).

Is there chance to soon have some converter? Just like previous converter

Could someone convert these two kits from FM24 to FM26 for me? Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do it myself. Please, and thank you.

I need a bit more time to work on this, but hopefully not too long.

Here are the files attached.

any chance for 3D kits Viewer for the FM26 kit? like this one - https://alexmichelet.github.io/3dkits-viewer/ but for FM26

Here ya go: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/75994/fm26-online-3d-kit-viewer Made a post for it.

 

Hopefully it works fine for you. If the model ever disappears, just click in the grey space and move your mouse around a bit. You can drag and drop the kits onto the page and it'll load them, or you can manually browse to them. There's also lighting settings if you want to play with that. 

Great for Bhawkski who made this transferring 3D outfits from 24 to 26 in photoshop, also he's not here any more?  😢

 

So, would like to make transferring 3D outfits from FM26 to FM24 in Photoshop if any possible?

 

Because some members who play FM24, they wish to play them 25/26 packs to FM24, though.
