Stadium features:

• Full Import Support
  
  Everything gets imported. All the uv map layers and all color layers on every object, Original stadium Group and group names, Materials and textures with automatic assignment on import, crowds, lights, collision and props are supported too.
• Colored Crowds
  
  While in vertex paint mode, you can see the paint of the original crowd meshes and of course paint the seats yourself to your own will.
• Export Support
  Nearly ALL options that imported can be exported as well. The exporter features, the multiple uv maps, the color maps, the groups, the materials with their textures (currently only 3 per material), the collisionobjects. Additionally crowds can be exported atm. No light export support yet.

Face/Hair Features:

• Full Import support,
  Including materials and textures with correct material settings for direct renders.
• Overwrite Support
  Import a model, change its vertex positions and uv’s and append the changes back in the file.

LAYOUT:

All the different aspects of the script are organized in different sections which you can find in blender’s Scene Settings panel.

INSTALLATION:

1)Copy the fifa_tools folder inside Blender’s root directory (it must be in the same folder with blender.exe)

2)You install the FIFA3DIE.py from Blender. Goto User Preferences, then in the Addon Tab and search for the .py file. For enabling just check it.

You’ll need Blender 2.67 or higher. The script should not have any problem with all 2.6 versions of Blender but for the record it was developed in 2.67b
