file directory path:

...\F1 2020\2020_asset_groups\animation_package\scenes\cinematics\drivers\morph_poses\

1. open yuki_tsunoda.erp
   
   
2. scroll down the pkg tab (or filter "animset" in the search bar) and export yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1.idf?context=animset
   
   
3. (probably optional, but I prefer to not have any duplicate name strings being loaded)
   • open yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1.idf%3Fcontext=animset.json with a texteditor (notepad, notepad++)
   • scroll down or search "name": and replace
     "name": "stri yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1"
     with
     "name": "stri lewis_hamilton_rig_head_morph_v1"
   • save the file
4. open lewis_hamilton.erp
   
   
5. filter for animset and select it, now import yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1.idf%3Fcontext=animset.json
   
   
   
   and save the erp
   
   
6. open lewis_hamilton.assetgroup with a texteditor
   
   
7. either copy the line from "yuki_tsunoda.assetgroup" or duplicate the existing line and replace the second entry so that you have
   

   <AssetGroup bigERP="true">
   <ERP>2020_asset_groups/animation_package/scenes/cinematics/drivers/morph_poses/lewis_hamilton.erp</ERP>

...\F1 2020\2020_asset_groups\animation_package\scenes\cinematics\drivers\heads\

1. open yuki_tsunoda.erp
   
   
2. export all resources (alternatively you could manually look for the 7 files below and export each)
   
   
3. go to the exported resources folder and rename yuki_tsunoda to lewis_hamilton in the following cases:
   

   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\
   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\idf\yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1!!!temp000.emb^^context=default
   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\idf\yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1!!!temp000.idf^^lod=3&mesh
   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\idf\yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1!!!temp000.idf^^lod=4&mesh
   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\idf\yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1!!!temp000.idf^^lod=0&mesh
   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\idf\yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1!!!temp000.idf^^lod=1&mesh
   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\idf\yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1!!!temp000.idf^^lod=2&mesh
   character_package\heads\male_driver\yuki_tsunoda\idf\yuki_tsunoda_rig_head_morph_v1!!!temp000.idf^^render

   alternatively (if you have a tool or use scripting) you could mass rename all idf files at once, but the highlighted once are the mandatory files
   Edit: You better not mass rename the files, if you are going to cross-change drivers, so using A as C, C as B and B as A.
   
   
4. open lewis_hamilton.erp
   
   
5. import all resources (browse to your resources idf folder you just exported and changed)
   so browse until character_package\heads\male_driver\lewis_hamilton\idf, so only the changed idf files will be imported (7 files)
   
   
   
   save the erp file
   
   
6. open lewis_hamilton.assetgroup with a texteditor
   
   
7. either copy the line from "yuki_tsunoda.assetgroup" or duplicate the existing line and replace the second entry so that you have
   

   <AssetGroup bigERP="true">

Frontend

file directory path:

...\F1 2020\2020_asset_groups\animation_package\scenes\frontend\2020\

1. open frontend_drivers_f1.erp
   
   
2. import all resources (browse to your resources folder you just exported and changed)
   if you have organized your previous files, so that only the changed files and folders are existing, it will be less time consuming and easier to notice changes
   
   
   
   save the erp file
   
   
3. OPTIONAL/ADDITIONALonly for drivers that do not exist in the frontend (like Yuki Tsunoda)
   • open frontend_drivers_f1.assetgroup with a texteditor
   • either copy the line from "yuki_tsunoda.assetgroup" or duplicate the existing line and replace the second entry so that you have

   • <AssetGroup bigERP="true">
     <ERP>2020_asset_groups/animation_package/scenes/cinematics/drivers/heads/yuki_tsunoda.erp</ERP>
     <ERP>2020_asset_groups/animation_package/scenes/frontend/2020/frontend_drivers_f1.erp</ERP>
     </AssetGroup>

   • save the file
     Edit: For other existing F2 drivers, you need to add the frontend_drivers_f1 entry from 2020 into the assetgroup file, too.

Maybe I will create a video and maybe I will create a modular mod that makes it more comfortable. No promises.

 

[EnriqueBanderas]

It is all very clear, thanks! Only one thing, I am lost at point 3 of the FrontEnd section. When opening the frontend assetgroup file with a text editor I have this:

<AssetGroup bigERP="true">
<ERP>2020_asset_groups/animation_package/scenes/frontend/2020/frontend_drivers_f1.erp</ERP>
<ERP>2020_asset_groups/animation_package/scenes/frontend/2020/frontend_drivers_f2.erp</ERP>
<ERP>2020_asset_groups/animation_package/scenes/incardriver/2018/incardriver.erp</ERP>
</AssetGroup>

Where should I copy the name of Yuki Tsunoda (or the other F2 driver I want to replace) here?
This is not clear to me. Thank you for Your assistance!

 

[ParkYongLee]

I guess you use a season mod already, so just add his line into it, doesn't matter if before or after the others.
(Well, you will notice, because this file changes the driver selection.)
as other f2 drivers are already being loaded, you might not need to include everyone - Yuki seems to be a special one, as he is not included in neither 2019 nor 2020 f2 frontend.

Really awesome.

I have edited the tutorial and corrected a few minor issues.

• I removed the model file of those which need to be changed
  because if you cross-change drivers and also change the model file, it will forward to the changes of the other driver, so if Lewis uses Yuki, but you would want to replace Max as Lewis, Max would also have the face body of Yuki but with Lewis' skin
• So I deleted the statement you could mass rename the files.
• If you change Latifi, you also have to import his idf to F2, else the frontend will not work correctly.
• Generics seem to be loaded by default, no need for additional lines.
• Corrected the yuki_tsunoda assetgroup entry for the frontend, heads need to be used.
  I accidently pasted morph_poses.
• Added a youtube tutorial video

Hi my man!!, i had some trouble to swap face between Delatraz or Bottas with Ralph Buschoung(i'm try with these 2 faces, first Delatrz second Bottas and not sucsses with that. Can u help me???

Buschoung is F2, and i do all theses stuffs show in the tutorial

 

[Megustavocebr]

to be cleary i've try to put Bottas in F2 in place of Ralph Buschoung

 

[Tom45]

Someone managed to switch the face of, for example, Robert Kubca or Fernando Alonso with some IA driver. I've tried to do this, but when I replace the AI driver's face in the game, the faces cut through each other

 

[Deleted member 1946917]

Hello

Is there anyone that can explain to me the method of swapping driver faces from previous/future games?

I know this might be tough and go against the RD rules so if someone could PM me or email me that would be great

For example I am looking to bring Alonso’s face from F1 2021 into F1 2020

I am looking at doing this for personal use, thanks.

 

[incarnati0n]

Seem like this works different in F1 2021, can anyone post here the difference, I've been trying to get it to work but no luck.

The same way of this but you can ignore Frontend part and you replace the idf files of each drivers you swap in their ressources. Then you import all ressources from the driver instead of just the idf ressources. also im pretty sure this violates racedepartment rules

Violates?? For Why?

F1 2021 seems like you can swap every driver linke in 2020. but you can ignore Frontrend.

its works 100%%

BUT - When you try to change senna, Senna is without cap. how fix it?

Face Swapping doesn't violate rules only uploading DLC content does.

It doesn't, dw
