TRF Custom Face Design Tracker

Getting great result with England and New-Zealand 2019 RWC Pics on Getty images
Going to create as much faces as possible my Keentools trail still have 25 days left then I will concentrate on finishing faces

 

[Pieter1989]

Jim546 or Jpilky hope you can assist I am a bit confused.
When I insert a face into the game (Previous designed faces with same id) it shows the face as diagonal lines but a certain camera angle the face shows correctly what may cause this.

Can you share an in-game screenshot of your issue?

 

[Pieter1989]

Hi Jim546

As per pictures below PS du Toit shows perfectly when Camera zoom in



But when the camera zoom out or in game play you wil get this type of face
And i used the same file as per design tracker what i see is the larger files from 800 on ward seem to have this problem most of the 300 region files is fine

Hi All

I am struggling a bit with (otools-release-0175) it keeps on crashing






I have deleted and downloaded program several times without any luck
would appreciate any assistances

 

[Pieter1989]

JPilky can you kindly assist with following

When I create a face my end size of Big file is 911kb I realize some of your faces is only 300kb what can I do to make file size smaller
Looking forward to hear from you

Guys can you please send me th latest international kits and maybe a newer roster please

How many vertices are in your model, and what dimension are your texture file, eg. 256*256, 1024*1024 etc.

Hi Jim546 Dimensions on the texture is 512 x 512 where do I check the vertices in the model

 

[jim546]

where do I check the vertices in the model

I also use 512*512 textures, the vertices should show at the bottom-right of Blender, here's one of mine as an example, the menu may be hidden for you but you can "drag up" from the bottom of the screen to show it:

In Facebuilder you can switch from high, medium and low poly modes, lower poly modes reduces the number of vertices and therefore your file size, but it also reduces the detail of your model.

With Rugby 08 because you view the heads from quite far away you don't need much detail on the model, A good texture is more inportant. I find modelling in high-poly mode, then switching to low-poly mode before exporting to R08 works well. With a low poly head and 512*512 texture, my head files are about 320kb big.

Guys can you please send me th latest international kits and maybe a newer roster please

The models should all use the same skeleton, you can copy/paste it from another project if you have one available or use the one I've uploaded below.

Edit: Just looked at your photos above of OTools, try turning off "Folder" mode on the input directory change the input to your .o file not its folder, for example:

Hi, did you ever get around with a "FIX" to this? I recently downloaded some faces and game does exactly the same - once zoomed in it shows face, zoomed out it goes orange...

Check what "Force LOD" is set to under the display options in your game. I've just replicated your errors by changing it to "Off". Switching LOD to "High" seems to fix it.

I think it's because the custom textures don't have any mipmaps with them. When you switch to low LOD the game sees the large base texture for the head and tries to load a lower res version instead, which it can't find hence the "no texture" error you get.

Tested it now with O.Farrel head and work perfect thank you x10000000

Thanks again, it worked after switching LOD to "High"

Found an easier way to do vertex group assignments, using weights in Blender, the second half of this video is the most relevant:



For custom models I've got it to work by putting your new head onto the skeleton with empty weights then copy into the scene a head that already has assignments. Click on this head then shift-click your new one, then follow the video tutorial above, go to weight paint mode and press weights - transfer weights and select either "by name" or "by order" for "source layers" in the next sub-menu.

You can now delete the old head from the scene. If everything has copied properly, the vertexes that are assigned in a group should show as red sections on the head in weight paint mode.

Unfortunately you will need to clean up the groups following this method. In weight paint mode click weights and select "clean" then increase the clean threshold above 0.00 to remove errors in the assignments. This whole process should speed things up but it's not the cleanest method.
