Hi @wfm18 thank you for your hard work this tool has been amazing!

 

Just a question I hope you can help me out: I had a few 3d kits that I twisted on my own and used FM XML tool (I'm on Mac) to create the config.xml so I can run the script to create standard kits (following the instructions) but every time I run it on photoshop this error message pops up

I don't have problems at all if I run the config file from a 3d-kits pack that I downloaded online. Thanks in advance!

Can you post your xml file so I can check? It does sound like its format is incorrect

Yeah I'll have a look once the beta is out ๐Ÿ™‚ 

 

The template is still the same in FM22 :

Hey @DokteurHaisse would you mind if this was integrated into the site so that when viewing a 3D kit upload you can see a preview of what's in it before you download?

 

Yeah absolutely, that's a great idea

All the code is MIT licensed so there is no restriction on reuse ๐Ÿ™‚ 

Please tell me if you need help with the integration

Well the easier way to create a 2d kit would be to convert from a 3d kit with the PS script :p You can also do it manually with this template (I think there are instructions bundled in the zip file)

 

I don't think there is any templates for gimp or other programs

Basic question here - i started creating kits this morning for the first time ever! 

 

I've created 2x 3D that im really happy with but i've only been using tools like Pixlr and GIMP. What's the best way to convert 3d to 2d on those? Reluctant to get Photoshop just yet as i'm a total rookie. 

 

โ€œHistoricallyโ€ there was no way of converting 3d kits to 2d (as far as I know), so this template using Photoshop is the only way available right now

We're still looking for a better and more scaleable way to convert kits with @wesfm18 but nothing conclusive right now so I'm afraid you're stuck with photoshop for now

What model did you extract and use for your 3D Kits viewer? High or medium?
Maybe the low poly quality depends on the model extracted in the event that you used the medium quality model.
I'm just guessing.

Yeah it's already the high version unfortunately ๐Ÿ˜ข

Black boots to editor... Nothing important, but usefull to who wish do screenshots or dont like base colours.
https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/vrmDvg7ot6f8biCq47EBcWVlvACrz2byjdIJtDHX.jpg

paste the below image in viewer folder: \src\model\fm21\textures to fm21 version.

This does look better, I'll change it in the next update ๐Ÿ™‚

In the meantime, while I was getting the ball 3d model in the viewer I took this opportunity to write a tutorial, that I just published, here it is : https://github.com/alexmichelet/3dkits-viewer/blob/master/tutorial/TUTORIAL.md
It explains how to convert SIA files to OBJ files. It's not really straightforward, but I hope the tutorial can help ๐Ÿ™‚

Good feedback! I did not think about creating symmetry in the parts copied from the original, however I mapped the Inter kit over the original one. It seems the original SI kits show a bit more on one side compared to the other side.

What I did was warping the copied part so it fits over the 2D one. I might one day work on an updated version, that takes symmetry into account. I’d love to use the 3D model to some extent, since that is 100% correct but requires rework to be able to be mapped I think. @DokteurHaisse, what is your view on this, also in terms of creating this as a tool or integrating this into the viewer?


The 3d model (used by the match engine) is kind of low-poly and overall not close enough to the standard 2d kits, I tried to use it as a base to generate 2d kits but the result is not that great imo, I get something like that :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/VaOumn9rYL2KIHyFYTJRPGnLyjPlW8J9ZRpO2Job.png

which has obviously nothing to do with the standard kit :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/fzkYEZ7tSV4zQgBN9AwlPqOcmRNpy1cpU3SVq4Fd.png

The best thing to do would be to create our own 3d model dedicated to this thing (which would map the textures exactly the same way), but it seems very tricky and I'm absolutely clueless around any kind of 3d modeling software :p

Right now I'm focusing on developing a tool to automate this rendering from the 3d kits by using a 3d model, as for the model itself I guess I'll have to worry about it at some point ^^

@DokteurHaisse now that we have the ability to add ball textures, do you think that a ball model can be added to your tool? Or even create a dedicated tool?
It would be extremely useful to check ball textures applied to a 3d ball model.

There should also be another model of a player with short sleeves in combination with termal underwear sleeves. No need for it to be included in viewer, however it would be nice to have UV map. The lower hands area is mapped on the left of the socks


Here is the UV map for the sleeves : https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/bjUeofUxnQc6AuAn0VOHwQcDBS1C1jxMabNXs2pn.png
It comes from the file "kit_m_under_armour_sleeves" in the game, is that what you were looking for ? (tbh I didn't know there was so many different variations of 3d kits so I have to understand all the different files ^^)

Yep that's something that I've had in mind for some time and will probably be my next project related to FM
basically a full 3D-to-2D kit converter that lets you choose what kind of 2d model you want and then render all your 3d kits in the same style

Also @bolid74 I have not forgotten your request for the thermal sleeves UV map, I plan to release all the 3d models that I got from the game (still didn't have time to get this one though)
I may also write a tutorial to explain how to get these files from the game, if that's something some of you find useful ? (it's a bit tricky I warn you :p)

@vagg77 & @siborg You should be able to download the app here : https://github.com/alexmichelet/3dkits-viewer/releases click on the "3dkits-viewer.1.1.0.windows.portable.zip" link
Once unzipped it should works by executing 3dkits-viewer 1.1.0, it is a portable application that does not require any other installation

@hammer9 it's probably because of the lighting of the scene, I'll try to tweak it a bit, that goes on the to-do list ๐Ÿ™‚

I've been (and still am) pretty busy recently so I can't really work on this project right now though ๐Ÿ˜ข

Hey guys,
I've added an option to show the position of numbers/name, could you please check if it matches what you're expecting?
I've used your templates @bolid74 but I can't check if it matches the game (I don't have the game on this PC, still on vacation :p )
(It only works when you load a custom model, it doesn't work on the default Lyon model)

It's only available on the web app right now, I'll release the desktop version later

I also edited the first post of this topic with every link related to this project

I don't have the 3d models on the laptop that I currently use, I'll have to look into that next week

I've just released a new version of the app with drag & drop support, the new version is here : https://github.com/alexmichelet/3dkits-viewer/releases and the web app is already up to date

Hi DokteurHaisse, this is a brilliant tool that I am finding really useful. Any chance of adding a reload button?

I find myself having to refresh, then go and find the kit I just saved. A reload button would allow me to correct my kit, based on what I see in your tool, then reload the kit to make sure I have got it right. It would just make life a little easier

I'm currently on vacation so I don't have my desktop PC and I can't do much without it on this project, but I was able to tweak a few things though, to allow to reload by selecting the same file, let me know if that works for you ๐Ÿ™‚

That's brilliant, thank you. Sorry to bother you but could you do that again, but with white mesh on completely black background? If it's a lot of work, nevermind

Here they are with transparency :

By the way @bolid74 I was able to get the UV mappings from the 3d models to compare to your layout :
(tucked and untucked)

And it checks out, the socks look a bit too short but I've tested in blender and that part is not visible because of the boots :

You can use this layout and add it in your kits. This file was available before but I have tweaked it using this marvelous new tool.
Orange boxes represent areas where you shouldn't place logos; over player's name and numbers on back and shorts. The model itself is bad in that regard, and name and number are oversized. You can forget placing anything above player name, because it's almost touching the neck

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/Sid39jo7MHfmJyRyKwRomx6KZT56tF5VLcy530Rj.png

I wanted to find a 3d model or maybe a config file from the game files to have it exactly right, but that's actually a good idea. I think I'm gonna add an option to show this default texture over the loaded one

An amazingly useful thing! I propose to include also the ability to view the number on the back, to understand how the commercial is seen from the back
https://i2.imageban.ru/out/2020/12/15/d5fe2f99a01efc2a50b6689cc4ae6702.jpg

The game 3d models don't have the information on the position of the number, I've searched the game files to find something else in that regard but I did not find anything
I'll keep searching for now, but it's not likely to be a thing at this point

I may manually add a number to the models but it will probably be tricky to show the actual way it shows in the game without using proper game files

I've just added the possibility to choose the old model (FM18/19) : https://alexmichelet.github.io/3dkits-viewer/
I'll look into adding the older model (FM17 & earlier) but it'll be a little bit trickier and will take more time

@gambe945 for now the automation is done through a Photoshop script (written in JavaScript), I might try to write a normal (non Photoshop) script in the future so everyone could use it even without Photoshop, but that should be rather complicated. For now I'll try to optimize the PS script performance
