Oh, I could have sworn I saw you doing some cuts previously. Never mind

I made about a dozen of cuts, but this was a little more difficult because of the hair as you rightly pointed out.

In the above screenshot, you can see that there is the topmost part of the hair which is of a different colour to the rest of the hair. If you zoom in on it, the curly hair on our right, for example, has a bluish tinge. This is what we call snow. Though it could be the case occasionally in some sources that there is indeed the sunlight's reflection, you can see this is not really the case in the original source.

In order to remove this, you can use the technique outlined in this short and easy-to-understand video, which shows a good method of how to quickly spot and clean snow. The reason we aim to avoid these in our cuts is that they are very evident in-game on a dark skin.

There are a number of other guidelines outlined in this thread btw, if you haven't see them already. What program and technique are you using to cut-out, if I may ask? Perhaps we can offer some practical tips

Thank you for the tips, I'll have a look at them.
As I mentioned on the dedicated thread, I use a program called Franzis Cut Out. I think it could be a useful resource for all the cutters here on sortitoutsi, especially for the most skilled ones.
I have several portable versions of the program that I could pass to you, but I don't want to break forum rules posting it here given it's a paid software. If you want to have a look at it, maybe it's better by PM, I don't know. Of course, If you think what I wrote is too "sensitive", please feel free to edit or delete this part.

What snow effect, @mons? If you're referring to the top of the hair, I guess those are mainly sunlight's reflections. But if you think this effect could be reduced, I'll try to fix it. I'm a first-time cutter afterall
EDIT: I saw you already reduced the problem and improved the picture contrast. Cheers for that!

@Ivs, it looks an interesting tool - is it free software?

Unfortunately, not. It has free trial.

I'm using the Vertus Fluid Mask plugin for Photoshop and it's doing great to far. How Franzis Cut Out is working when you have messy backgrounds with multiple colours and shades?

I really cannot answer your question because I am not an expert. As far as I know it's a program used for professional cutting, so I presume it should be able to handle the scenario you described. I can only suggest you to give it a try.

Cutters, I don't know what methods you prefer to create your cut outs, but I found the inside & outside matting procedure one of the simpliest and effective way to cut out images using a program called Franzis Cut Out.

If it is not against the forum rules, I could pass you several portable versions of this program.

bolid, now that the leagues are on hiatus, will you finish level 8 kitpacks? What's your point?
Will you at least finish Northern East kitpack given that only one team is missing? Maybe the remaining Isthmian leagues, too?
I noticed also that we actually have 14 teams finished in Northern West with Tadcaster Albion kits made by @A11_Smithy, but their kits are not in the pack.

@Marko12101983 Just to clarify: the pack posted in this page is for FM 2019, not for FM 2020. So, if you are still playing FM 2019 and want to use 2019/20 Serie A kits, the pack posted in this page is what you are looking for.
Extract the folder inside the archive in the folder called "3D" in this path C:\Users\[name]\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 20XX\graphics\3D
That's it.

Also included Doncaster 3rd kit (League One) that wasn't included in original game kits.

Could you add Bristol Rovers and Wrexham third, too? I thought SI included them in game, but they are not.
In National League regionals 3 kits are missing: Havant 3rd, Hungerford 3rd and Spennymoor 3rd.

bolid, any chance to add Newport third to your "to do list"? They used it against Bradford City:

SI made a third kit for Newport in-game, but it's based on an early concept of the kit realized in March 2019, so it's wrong as you can see. Maybe there's time for 3D, too?

I understand your reasons bolid and you are probably burning out after all these kits.
Anyway, it's a pity that you won't complete level 8 given that "only" 34 teams are missing. I'd selfishly tell you to focus first on the last two Isthmian leagues since I usually play there, but I would like to see other level 8 kits completed, too.
I'll give you a look at your sensational template pack and see if I can give free play to my "creativity" so that you'll have less work to do.

I noticed that the Isthmian League Premier trophy 5103714 in the pack and in the search tool is actually wrong. That is the trophy for the Isthmian League Cup, which is not present in the Football Manager database. The correct trophy is the one listed here.
Here the proof: https://www.kentonline.co.uk/maidstone/sport/stones-lift-ryman-league-trophy-35804/

Anyway, I found better pictures of this trophy and many others, so it would be great if someone could create a cut-out version of them. Thank you so much.

Sensational effort as always. That 1874 Nortwich away kit is absolutely mental!
Now you have no excuses for Stevenage SS third kit and for both 2D & 3D Margate third kit
Well done!

P.S. Bishop's Stortford 3D third kit is missing in the pack, while 2D version is present.

Great job @A11_Smithy!
Why don't you post them on the English level 7 & 8 thread, so we could keep track of them and maybe helping bolid to add them to the pack?
Thank you.

Haringey Borough have new kits manufactured by O'Neills.
Home: https://www.flickr.com/photos/22930742@N04/albums/72157711612859201
Away: https://www.flickr.com/photos/horshamfc/albums/72157713028552138

The old blue and yellow kit manufactured by Stanno has been used till at least December 2019:

I guess it's a sort of third kit and could be useful to add it in order to avoid kit clash in-game.

Meanwhile, last Saturday Romford debuted at Soham Town Rangers wearing what has been described as a "temporary home kit". It's the same Puma template used for away kit:

A quick and simple fix is needed in Isthmian Premier: you misspelled Horsham name and you wrote "Horseham". Config file is correct instead. So that's the reason why Horsham kits didn't work in game.

In addition to this, Wingate played at Enfield in a claret Legea kit from a few seasons back:

Same thing for Chesham United, which retain their black and yellow kit from a couple of seasons ago in more than one occasion during the season:

I just thought you were not so sure about their away kit, so I supposed that was the reason for a placehorder kit.
If you need help and research for other kits, give me a shout.

There's not. I searched every league from alpha to retail, nothing

Did you look for any other graphic files in fmf archives (e.g. sigraphics or simatchviewer), too?
Maybe files for players?
I remember your post on the official forum where you asked for a kit mesh file, but nobody give you an answer.
They are making it harder for 3d modders year after year. Such a nonsense!
The only solution could be asking again for this file on the official forum or try and get some help on forums like zenhax or xentax in order to extract the FM 20 3D player model, so it could be tested with textures applied.
