As far as England is concerned,we only really need the Premier League 3D kits as other leagues are licensed and detailed kits are a default ,so any takers would be good ??

I never said you did mate,you simply inferred that was the reason they didn't show. Anyway they're working for me now after I booted up today,despite not working yesterday even though I cleared the cache and rebooted,so all good !

I appreciate the comments guys and understand the timing issue,I guess that's the problem with the dates that FM is released and much more so with FM18 because of the new graphics engine. Hopefully we'll see a few packs but I can fully understand the requirement to start again when the new season kits are announced soon after this season's kits are completed ! That situation will ease if Si assures us that they won't make a fundamental change to the graphics for FM19 !!

I'm not making any kits at the moment which are already included in game.

Does that mean you're not planning to update current FM17 3D kits for FM18 bolid ?? That would be pity,if that's the case.

Yeah, pitches look awfull, way to bright. SI will never fix it though. Last year there was a mod on FM Scout for realistic grass texture. It was brilliant and I hope for the same thing this year

Yes there were three decent pitch texture mods for FM17 and no doubt when the Resourse Archiver becomes available it will open up possibilities. Whether or not the lighting issues can be sorted by a third party remains to be seen,so hopefully Si will respond to the complaints and sort it.

It's cos you're a perfectionist bolid and we love you for it !! You've transformed the SS kits from something dull to pure art,so we wouldn't expect anything less with the 3D kits. They'll look better anyway when Si sort out the ridiculous saturated pitches and lighting that ruins most matches and blurs detail !

That's not unusual,it's exactly the response you'd get from Si and it's true what they say. The Resource Archiver will be released on the day the full game is released,then creators will have access to the files they need for creating content. It makes a change from their usual robotic bullshit replies,like verify your game cache or send us your dxdiag,neither of which rarely fix the issue and if it doesn't they have no further advice. It's the very reason I never go there now.

It's not an oversight or bug. They install correctly but there are new player models and texture mapping and layout is different. I can see that recognizable parts of kits are scattered all over the player so texture mapping is obviously new.
We'll have to redo our 3d kits.

You're right bolid,the detail is there but totally out of position. Someone is going to have come up with a new 3D kit template.

Well, it's true that 414x414 are not high resolution in an absolute sense of the word, but they are highER resolution than standard 220x220. In short, high res :-)
FC12 are really a nice and sharp piece of graphics, very polished. They would look great on TV or in some magazine. In fact, I was split when contemplating which style to take and work with. I opted for SS because it seemed to have biggest support and acceptance. You can have all leagues in same SS style while FC12 is limited to higher leagues. SS also looks somehow closer to real shirts while FC12 looks - I wouldn't call them overexposed :-P but a bit "cartoonish". It's not a flaw per se, but I'm a sucker for realism, so I picked SS style.

I experimented with even higher resolution and I concluded that there's not much sense in going higher than 414x414 because FM17 is somehow resizing 2d kits and you actually can't see much of fine details. A good example would be my Brighton high-res kits, where I made a series of thin dark and light lines on the sleeves, but in game that surface looks smooth. Or Plymouth away where dotted chest pattern is resized into not-that-good squared mess. Perhaps for Plymouth away my 220x220 kits works better because I made dots bigger and out of proportion in order to have the appearance of dotted pattern (damn you Puma, so much trouble this year). We'll see in FM 18 how will this work.

Btw, I added link for National north few posts above, there are now few high res kits there as well.

I absolutely agree with what you say bolid and it's the very reason I chose to go with your kits. When I say that some FC'12 kits are "overexposed" I was referring to those kits that has a majority white content and look bleached out and therefore lacking in fine detail. Your description of FC'12 being cartoonish is an accurate one and although ,as you say they are sharp they simply don't look real. Also the coverage across many more leagues is an important plus with SS kits and yes I'd previously downloaded the National North kits,as I do with all of your updated content. I'm looking forward to your continued great work in FM18 !

Hi bolid,when I posted a link to your fab kits in my group (DazS8 FM Graphics) on Facebook the guy who creates the FC'12 kits,Patrik Ballay responded by saying,and I quote, "Hi-res? Nothing against it, but 414x414 pix aren't hi-res pictures". I responded by saying he'd have to contact yourself to argue that point. Maybe he was miffed cos I said I thought too many of his kits looked "overexposed" lol !

Yes,things are looking a bit more promising with FM18 and as I was led to believe some time ago the match graphics engine has been totally re-done and at last has moved on from DX9 !

Thanks man. I can only hope that SI won't change texture format for FM18.

Word has it that a completely new graphics team were used for FM18 but the major work was on the 3D match engine,so whether other graphics formats will also be changed is as yet unknown.

Thanks again my friend,not only have you taken SS kits to a whole new level of quality but your responses are almost immediate. Keep up the great work ! A certain rival 2D kit creator describes his work as "beautiful" which is both arrogant and subjective because as the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and if beautiful to him means kits that look like over-exposed photos,especially on white dominant kits then I'm sticking with guys like "bolid74" absolutely !!

No need to be humble mate. Myself,along with many others appreciate that attention is paid to the lower leagues. With every new edition of FM I always start in Vanarama South and see how far up the leagues I can get before the next edition of FM is released !

@Chris just to let you know the premier league have introduced sleeve sponsors this season, only 1 league patch - on the right sleeve

Indeed,my team Crystal Palace will have a sleeve sponsor on the left sleeve this season. I've added it myself to demonstrate or for folks to use if they wish[media]

Still far and away the best skin for FM. I only wish some people would learn the elements of skin editing so they wouldn't need to ask you so many dumbass questions. I'm no skin maker but I taught myself how to edit or correct any cock ups I made and do the basic stuff,it ain't rocket science folks !!
