Frostbite Engine 2 Composite/ Mix Textures

Very Fast tutorial for compile Battlefield 3 textures

(Prepare a texture can't take more than 5 minutes)

Image Definitions


Diffuse or Color Image



Camo or Color Swatches Image

(In MOHW there are no Swatches Image)

Mask Image

(different mask images, in the left the full mask image , in the right mask image with alpha applied)

Ambiental Occlusion Image



Specular Map

(use Photoshop for decompile the RGB channels and extract the real specular map, dirt detail map and others)

Tutorial

Load the withe model in 3ds max, drag and drop over the mesh the diffuse texture



load the image texture to Material editor, enter in Diffuse color, change the Bitmap type to Mix Type material




In the mix window select the color 1 and change again the bitmap type to Composite type



add new layer and load (in normal mode) in the new layer the mask texture and change the alpha values.then of this back to composite window and change the normal value to multiply



back to mix window and now enter in color 2 , select composite and load again the diffuse texture



back to composite texture and create a new layer, load in this the camo texture and change the tiling values

(I use between 4-10, now use 4)

back to composite window and change the normal value to multiply, then in the same layer of the camo but in the right put the mask texture and change the alpha options of the texture



back to mix material window and enter in mix amount, load the mask texture and change the alpha options



you model is ready



How to export the Full Composite Texture

Select the mesh to export and go to Export / Export Selected



Export the model to *.OBJ (gw::OBJ-Exporter) and then select this:



enter in map export , select the format and the texture resolution (original torso texture resolution is 2048x2048)



Close and export

wait for the export and check your work folder, now you have your full composite texture



Medal of Honor Warfighter don't have Color swatches textures , this are autogenerated by the render system of the game but in 3DS Max We can Generate this.



Enter en Color Correction without texture selected in the layer(empty new layer), in MAP: change the black color to any new color



Now export

Color swatches images and mask images comply the same function in the game -----give color to the White diffuse textures with different method

Call of Duty 1 Tutorial

Tools

-GLXtractor
-COD Mod tools (CodRadiant)
-Call of duty installed

1) Decompress all .pak files in main folder
2) Run GLXtractor, chosee app (codradiant) and change the following things:



select "start application"

3) now in codRadiant load a model (press the right button of the mouse over the grid, go to misc and select "model"



select a character body or head model




now over the preview window hold the right button of the mouse and press the capture buttons of GlXtractor (default is ctrl+shift+f) ------Repeat several times

now go to C:\Users\"your_user"\Documents\Xtracted (default path) and here are your model and textures.

4) now, use noesis for load the .obj files and flip the uv maps because 3ds max can't show the models




Note: maybe in 3ds max you must detach polygons for load textures.

Extracting 3d model from Gray Matter

In this article I described the process of converting models (skeleton and weight are present), as well as animation of the game Gray Matter (pc) into the 3ds Max.

Note: The article is designed for users familiar with working in 3ds Max and does not cover detail things such as, for example, texturing objects, setting up materials, etc.

For the conversion process, we need the following tools:

• 3ds Max (i use 2008 х64) should work on versions: 7-2011
• Blender v2.49b (3d editor) Author: Blender Foundation [page]
• Python v2.6.5 (program language libraries for Blender) Author: Python Software Foundation [page]
• PyFFI (libraries for Blender's additional scripts) Author: Amorilia [page]
• FBX Plug-in (3ds Max plug-in for *.fbx format) Author: Autodesk [page]
• gray-matter-pc-b3d-importer-2010-12-19.blend (Blender script for importing *.b3d files) Author: Mariusz Szkaradek [download] [page]
• PAK util v0.55 (unpacker for *.pak files) Author: bacter [download] [page]

1. Game archive unpacking. After installing the game all the resources are located in the Data folder in the *.pak archives. To unpack these files you will need to use the program called GrayMatter PAK util. It looks like this:

Near the .PAK file: phrase choose *.pak file, near the Directory: word choose the way of extracting and click Extract button.
I advise you to unpack the archive in its own folder with the name of the archive.
2. Model converting. All game characters, as well as some of the key gaming objects located are in the *.pak archives in the folder:
<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\
For converting I took the model of Mephi as an example:
<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\id_mephi.pak
After unpacking the archive, we obtain:

• anims - folder with animations
• mephi.fbm - folder with textures
• mephi_dc.fbm - folder with textures (second costume)
• mephi.b3d - 3d model of the character
• mephi.mat - material properties for mephi.b3d file
• mephi_dc.b3d - 3d model of the character (second costume)
• mephi_dc.mat - material properties for mephi_dc.b3d file

Before you start converting you need to install Python, Blender and PyFFI.
For convenience, I suggest that for every unpacked archive to create a folder with the same name, so I get a folder with files/folders:
<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\id_mephi\

In the creation of just the folder you need to copy the gray-matter-pc-b3d-importer-2010-12-19.blend file. Now run this file, Blender opens:

On the right - the 3d viewport. On the left - a script that needs to import *. b3d files. Below - the animation control panel.
Next, click the right button on the script (which is on the left) and run it by selecting Execute Script:After running the script above will open a small window in which you have to choose which model (they are there only two: mephi.b3d, mephi_dc.b3d) to upload:

I chose

<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\id_mephi\mephi.b3d

and press Ok. After a short process model and animation (which about below) loaded into the Blender:

For exporting 3d model into *.fbx format you need to press File -> Export -> Autodesk FBX (.fbx)...:and save the model with the following parameters:

Install the latest plug-in for *.fbx files import in your 3d max. Open 3d max. And importing *.fbx file, in my case this is:
<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\id_mephi\mephi.fbx
After completing the import process in a preview window you will see the following:

I suggest a little bit optimize/improve the model:

• reposition the bones: notice that some models of the bones does not match the model, probably due to the fact that the developers used a skeleton for all the similar characters. To reposition the bones you need: select an object > enable Skin modifier > in the Advanced Parameters section remove the checkbox from Always Deform, then change position of the bones, after completion enable Always Deform
• change direction of the normal of the individual polygons
• apply a texture to a model

After above manipulations you get a ready-made model (I hid the bones):

Save the model as:
<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\id_mephi\mephi.fbx
3. Animation converting. When you import the models in Blender animation also imported. It is automatically loaded into the program from the anims folder, from the *.bba files. You can select an animation by clicking Browses existing choices or adds NEW (1), play the animation by clicking Play Timeline (2):

Select the first animation walk.bba, press Play Timeline, this will cause motion animation of walk.

Note: To choose another animation you must first click the right mouse button on the skeleton in the scene.

Next, to export the animation in *.fbx format you need to press File -> Export -> Autodesk FBX (.fbx)... and save the file with the following parameters:

I saved the animation here:
<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\id_mephi\anims\walk.fbx
Next, in 3ds max load the newly saved 3d model:
<install path>\Gray Matter\Data\characters\id_mephi\mephi.fbx
and import into the scene animation walk.fbx, get something like:

Animation is loaded into 3ds max.

4. Textures and Materials. In the Gray Matter are two main types of textures: diffuse map and normal map. All textures are in *.dds format.
5. Rendering. 3ds max and shaders.
