Real Racing 3 (Android)

EDIT: Oh, and what about PowerVR/Adreno textures for Snapdragon and/or iOS users?

Use PVRTexTool: http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/p ... extool.asp

It comes with a tool to view and convert pvr textures, as well as plugins for explorer, 3ds max, and photoshop.

Noted. Oh, and has anyone tried converting the first-person viewmodels (i.e. HQ car interiors) too?

Yes I've tried importing the HQ meshes as well, they import fine but the steering wheel's position is always 0,0,0. I think that's because the game calculates the steering wheel's position on the fly.

any idea where to find texture names used for interiors? Material name doesnt help too much is just Vehicle Interior_mm_mat01, Vehicle Interior_mm_mat02, Vehicle Interior_mm_mat03, ...etc

There's no way to find any texture names at this point, only material names.

[barti]

You may already know about this, but I just found out that The Compressonator can open and create both etc.dds and atc.dds textures and export them to common formats. There's also a batch conversion mode but I haven't tested it yet.



Unfortunately it doesn't load RGBA4444 .DDS files (the ones with transparent elements) so those still have to be converted.

so how the game reads materials?

From what I can see, the carappearances.appearances file in 'vehicles' folder is an XML file with some material names, but it's encrypted and I can't get the full xor key. I made a thread about the files in the Compressed files and methods section.

it would help a lot if we know what materials they really use.

Yep, I tried that too with the textures for Gangstar: West Coast. Even managed to mod the game with a billboard texture lol.

Sadly the RealRacing3 script doesn't work good with newest DLC models.
Miura interior cannot be imported, and the quickbms script doesn't work with them :S

Anybody can help?

[barti]

I'm currently rewriting the importer to make it more accurate with the M3G file format - hopefully that will fix the issue with the new models. I'll post once I get it done.

the quickbms script doesn't work with them :S

Do you mean the texture files? If so, the textures you provided in the sample are in ATC format. As far as I can tell, the only tool that supports them is ATI's The Compressonator, so you'll have to use that to convert the textures for now. I've found a document about converting textures between ATC and the PC-friendly DXT format, but I haven't looked into it yet.

Corrected MAXScript:

The Miura interior sample loads correctly now.
Also materials are automatically loaded into the Material Editor for easier texture replacing.


Aluigi wrote a QuickBMS script for Real Racing 3, which can open the .z files as well as .bin files:
http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/bms ... cing_3.bms

I also found out a while ago that the PVR format can contain ETC1 and RGBA4444 textures. So I made a etc.dds to pvr QuickBMS script to streamline the texture conversion process for this platform.

Code: Select all

# Real Racing 3 .etc.dds to .pvr converter
#
# written by barti
# http://forum.xentax.com
#
# script for QuickBMS http://quickbms.aluigi.org

get NAME basename
string NAME += ".pvr"

idstring "DDS "
get HEADERSZ long
get SIZE     long
get WIDTH    long
get HEIGHT   long
get IMGSIZE  long
goto 84
getdstring ETCHEADER 4
goto 128

set MEMORY_FILE compressed eNp9w7ENAAAIAjAJDxoH/j+FDTabdHWcB7IMMl0A/w==

if ETCHEADER == "ETC "
	putvarchr MEMORY_FILE 8  6 long # stands for ETC1 RGB
elif ETCHEADER == "ATC "
	print "Sadly ATITC textures are not supported in the PVR container. Exiting script."
	cleanexit
elif ETCHEADER == "ATCI"
	print "Sadly ATITC textures are not supported in the PVR container. Exiting script."
	cleanexit
elif ETCHEADER == ""
	xmath IMGSIZE "WIDTH * HEIGHT * 2"

	putvarchr MEMORY_FILE 8  0x61626772 long # "rgba"
	putvarchr MEMORY_FILE 12 0x04040404 long # bits per channel
else
	print "Unsupported header found, exiting script."
	cleanexit
endif

putvarchr MEMORY_FILE 24 WIDTH   long
putvarchr MEMORY_FILE 28 HEIGHT  long
putvarchr MEMORY_FILE 44 1 long # MIPMAPS

append
log MEMORY_FILE 128 IMGSIZE
append

get SIZE asize MEMORY_FILE
log NAME 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILE

These are the texture formats in Real Racing 3 I've stumbled upon so far:
.atc.dds - ATI Texture Compression. Can be opened using The Compressonator.
.etc.dds - Ericsson Texture Compression and RGBA4444 for translucent images. I recommend converting them to .pvr using the above script.
.dxt.dds - DXT Texture Compression. These textures can be opened in any DDS viewer without any problems.
.ptc.pvr - PVR Texture Compression. These textures can be opened using PVRTexTool and imported into 3DS Max or Photoshop using PVRTexTool's plugins.

Thank you it works fine now.

MacedoSTI, are your QuickBMS binaries up to date?
