Madden Stadiums in FIFA? Possible?

Yes, the textures are referenced when browsing the model's properties, specifically in "Materials > (Number) > Shader (asset directory)", you can see here:

You can also export meshes like I have shown in my post above, by right-click and "Export Meshes," although the right meshes will not be exported in this case. It is necessary to browse all the model's properties to find what is going on.

In the image above you can also see that the texture referenced in this particular case, for the stadium's seating area, is located in "Content > Worlds > Materials etc..". Clicking on the SurfaceShaderPreset asset will allow one to see the textures used. Here I double click on "concrete_stands_a_color" (I did not include a coefficient texture in this case), bring it up in the explorer window and export it from there.

You can see a somewhat complete model in Blender in the image below, with textures included. It is important to understand that the stadiums in the game are not built from one single model, but rather are "stacked" from different bits and pieces. The stadium here is made up of the following:

1) roof_mesh.fxb
2) standsupper_mesh.fxb
3) standslower_mesh.fxb
4) railings_mesh.fxb
5) exterior_facade_mesh.fxb

Here is a download link with the complete model for interested users to peruse.

Finally, I am not a modeller. Editing these models, as experts know, is quite involved work. FInding the directory is only a very small part of the game here. I can barely navigate in Blender! I am like a child trying to use this program! So imagine what someone with great competence can do with these models...

Hope it helps.

Guys, I found a new game called Football Simulator that was recently released. The game doesnt have license from NFL, so everything is fictional about the teams. But the stadiums are real ones, at least for most that I checked. They are not as beautiful and detailed as Madden ones, but are good at the end. The game was built on unity engine, I tried to extract models from it using assetstudio, but it freezes my PC, 3Dripper didnt work eather. Does anyone has an idea how to extract it? I ve seen some videos and doesnt seams difficult to extract and edit models from unity.

For reference, we already have Vancouver, Seattle, Atlanta, Azteca & Guadalajara, right? Any others that have already been converted to 16?

No, We also have Houtson, Boston, Dallas, New York and Monterrey. Some were converted by me.

Dallas is one example that I might do it again, I love that stadium and the actual version can be a lot better.

From the game we can try to convert San Francisco, Kansas, Philadelphia and Miami. Sofi stadium is not there yet.

Some update:

I'm improving a lot, the stadium is taking shape as you can see below:

Good News:

- The crowd is much easier to do, because the stadium comes with seat by seat separated in objects. There is a lot of faces in one seat, but you can separate one specific face of each seat and create the crowd on it. It take only a few minutes and its perfect.

- Every great problem I was capable to solve until now.

Bad News:

- Two objects failed to be exported and lost their format, you can see on the last picture I sent yesterday. Usually Its because I splited the object and somehow didnt work, so I usually import the object again an that would make it right. But it wasnt the case here, I couldnt fix. These are two secondary objects, so I removed them and you cant see that they are not there. However If this problem happens with a tribune or important part of the stadium in an other convertion We wont be able to convert it.

- There is a lot of green, red bugs as you can see on the second picture, usually its because the baking process didnt work correctly. Normally what I do is take the baked texture out or increase the size of the baking texture. I did the second one and improved a little bit. And in this case I cant remove the baked texture, because the texture are not originally baked like PES6 most of it. One thing that can be done is to make the diffuse texture baked, but I dont know how to do it. So I dont know if I can remove all the lights bug. Maybe @The Wizard @panin18 @badgerbadger @gonzaga can help me with this one.

- There is a lot of inverted objects, I'm flipping normals when I see, but maybe something will pass me.

Thats it, now I have to reduce / eliminate the light bugs, insert some objects like bench and other stuff, I will reduce the stadium a little bit and make the lights.

I had a quick search and we have Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Boston, New York/New Jersey, Guadalajara and Toronto, with Mexico City and Vancouver in game by default and Monterrey done by Gonzaga for fifa 14. So we mainly miss those Madden stadiums i guess

So guys, I was having a big trouble trying to remove the red bug lights, I was able to remove the green ones, but not the reds. I was already giving it up, so I reduced the stadium a little bit, inserted the Jumbotron and benchs and a few other things and exported. Bang! The bug lights were gone, at least the most visible one, I have no idea why.

I will make the lights and release in the next days, I'm not fully satisfied to be honest, but lets see what can be improved.

FYI, on a similar topic to Madden stadiums. I'm doing some digging with a group that does NCAA Football 14 mods for consoles, and there's a good chance we can find a way to get stadiums out of that game into FIFA.

I'm still in the early stages, but it looks promising. Here's a rough early view of one model I'm working on. A lot of cleanups and figuring out to do, but the data is there. This is Spartan Stadium which was home of the San Jose Earthquakes in MLS from 1996-2004.
