F1M24 Create a 3D face model for Kimi Antonelli

[rajpootmilind]

Next season Kimi Antonelli may be the main driver for Mercedes but he does not seem to have the 3D in-game face model. Since he does not have the face scan he only shows up with a helmet in the start screen and in every cut scene it's just him with his helmet which kind of ruins the immersiveness. If creating a brand new face model is difficult, is it possible to mod some other drivers' face model and then link it to Kimi? Can someone please either create a 3D model of his face or something close to it or guide me to a tutorial on how it can be done so I can mod it myself? Any help on this would be highly highly appreciated. Thanks

It seems doable in Blender and in all probability, one would have to edit an existing driver (probably like Mick Schumacher) and edit the SK_MickSchumacher.psk and SK_MickSchumacher_Hair.psk files and then somehow link it to Kimi Antonelli which would mean making changes in blender to Mick's model and then somehow packaging it and putting it in the game. After that somehow linking it to Kimi which I don't know if its hard coded or something that can be changed in the database with an ID change? If anyone has any ideas or knowledge to do it, please reach out. I would be happy to pay to learn to how to do this and then maybe even make more mods for the community in the future

I don't know about 3D modelling, or never created such a mod, but here is my guess.
I didn't saw in the save database way to change the 3D modell. If it's hardcoded you can try to swap the two ID. Wild guess, but maybe creating another folder (so don't need to replace somebody) with his name (FirstnameLastname format) will automatically assign to him - atleast if I would be a programer I would do this way.
Worst case you replace somebody and rename him to Kimi Antonelli.

In F1 24 there's no Kimi at all, why is that? He is driving in F2 then why he isn't in the game?

It's not the correct thread, but Codemasters F1 game usually use last year F2 drivers for driver market (so F1 24 use F2 2023 drivers). They later in the year release a DLC with current year Formula 2, but usually they aren't included in career driver market. So Antonelli only be avaiable in F1 25 as signable driver (when he probably be in F1 anyway).

That's unfortunate ;(
