How did you do it? How accurate are your results?


There is a Python script to do it but as far as I know it is only available as part of paid-for content. Works really well though, almost no hiccups at all. Only thing I've noticed is that English players with obviously Asian names get assigned Northern European faces. I can PM you later if you're interested in more details...

I managed to remove the white halos by batch processing a simple script in Paintshop Pro utilizing the feathering tool. Combining this with ethnically specific automatic assignment and now every regen in my save has a proper face. =) Took some years to achieve but finally I have a game that SI should have made to begin with...

Neither region nor skin tone would be a good way to sort the images. To use examples of real players, both Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba have the same region of birth assigned, whereas in game Griezmann has the same skin tone assigned as Shinji Kagawa, David Silva and Henrikh Mkhitaryan; all these players are from different ethnic backgrounds and all look very different. The ethnicity variable isn't great as you said (another example is how the East Asian category bundles in China, Japan and Korea together), but unfortunately it's still by far the best variable the game provides to categorise everything.

I know that you can't view a player's assigned ethnicity in game, but every player in the database as far as I know has one assigned that you can view in the official Editor. I've always assumed this would also be the case for any newgen/regen generated, but I've never known for sure as you can't check this in game. If it isn't the case that regens have an assigned ethnicity then some sort of system that assigns images based on both region *and* skin tone would probably be necessary, although I imagine that would be a nightmare to get right.

Yeah I can confirm that the ethnicity parameter works pretty well 99% of the time for assigning faces. There are a few oddities of course, but those cases are quite rare. And some people really do have surprising family backgrounds IRL too so I don't think it's unrealistic in any case.

Auto assignment based on ethnicity works now. There is a script available that does it but there's a paywall involved, l so I guess I can't advertise it here specifically?

Anyone know of a tool to remove the white halo from multiple images easily? 1800 images one-by-one is too much of a chore...
Btw, generated.photos gives very realistic AI-created images too, and you can remove the background already at the website.

I can recommend generated.photos/ to create realistic AI-generated cut-outs easily. I use it to make manual replacements in my own game, but it could be very useful in project like this. You can even have the background removed from the images already at the website. For non-commercial use it's free too.
