And something to tell you about visible and not visible groups. There was such a group or groups in FIFA 13(dont know if FIFA 14 has) in which is recommended to be imported objects which are not visible during playing the game(roof for example). If I import something from lower stage of my stadium in this groups, I was not able to see it when I play, but I see it in replays. Also there was a groups which are for transparent objects(fences, glass, trees) amd for not transparent objects and if I import transparent object in group which are not for transparent object, even I use transparent texture there, in game this objects was not transparent. This was in FIFA 13. I hope that might to help!

@ bfl yes groups is important but so is material name. To get transparent objects to show correctly they must be in an alpha group but also must have a material name of diffusealpha, also we have materials for adboards, jumbotron etc... It will give us much more control over the file than last years way of doing it. Also collisions and props are better implemented as we can have as many as we want.

Thanks a lot. The great thing about the way i made the export thing work is that it should work with all kinds of data for all files.
That means that i can use the same code to recreate a head or hair file from scratch
The only reason i've not done that yet is because there are some bones sections that don't know how they work yet.Achiles;3578287 said:Wow nice
From rhino no. At least not yet. For now you'll have to trasnfer your stadium to Blender. Its very easy to use if you grasp how it works. You can export all your meshes to 3ds and import them to blender and work on them from there.
As for the instructions for exporting. Don't worry about that, i'll fully document the exporter operator so you'll know what you should do.

Its a blender issue and i need to see a screenshot of the viewport in order to help you. I am thinking that maybe GLSL mode is not on, so i encourage you to click the Fix Settings button. If that does not work send me a screenshot of the material section.

Arianos10 Hello, this is almost everything I need, can you tell me if I will be able to choose the location of the tunnel, and the bunch of reserves? why in fifa 13, if I moved the location of the exit players were according as was the RX3 in your plugin to export stages I will be able to change the point of entry or tunnel and also the bunch of reserves?

The reserves, yes they are included in the props. You can position them and many other props such as police, ball boys, photographers etc.. Any where within in ur stadium. You can make ur entrance tunnel anywhere in the stadium but we are unable to change the actual entrance position of the players, this is not stored in the stadium file, i dont know where it is stored either. Maybe in the db???

okay I'll check it in the database, thank you for the information, any plans to launch the plugin? Another question will be possible to have 2 layers UV, 1 for Diffuse, 1 for lightmap?

Excellent pass for some notes on here.
Well the new importing function in order to be powerfull enough to support anything that will encounter in any 3d fifa 14 file, needed to have some generic naming so that they could be easily created.
In previous versions of the script i had adopted these base (diffuse) and lightmap(ambient) namings for uvs. Now the new names are map_0 map_1 etc. With the number following the id of the uv map described in the 3d file.
For stadiums i have never seen above 2 mappings. So that means that map_0 will be like the previous diffuse map, and map_1 will be the previous lightmap.
In some faces though there are 3 uv maps. That is where the new way comes in handy. It appears only in a few high detail faces and seems to be using a normal map.
Btw, if you do find those settings about the custom entrance, please let me know
But anyway thats all for the naming in the upcoming version
The same fashion follows the naming of the vertex color maps, but since there is a lot of stuff going on in there to, i'll come back with more details and descriptions

Very good, I am waiting for the release, I have to export some trophies and some stadiums!
You know what day it will launch?
willams9991;3579812 said:
nope not yet. I hope it will be ready next week. I am currently working on the vertex color maps. And also i have to write the documentation tons of new hings to comment on
Btw, the initial 0.6 release won't have export support for trophies
This will happen in later stages
