Description

This Blender add-on lets you import full track and car geometry with a single import operation. No external tools are needed.

The add-on imports the following track data:

  • Full high quality geometry
  • All objects, including animations with game-accurate speed
  • Lights
  • Replay cameras
  • Sun direction
  • Road lanes
  • Night and weather variants

Because the track import uses global game assets, such as the road lanes, the tracks must be imported from within the NFSHS/Data/Tracks directory.


The following car data is imported:

  • Exterior car parts
  • Interior car parts
  • Lights
  • Vertex normals
  • Damage deformation shape key

The add-on assigns material PBR attributes based on FCE polygon flags.


Export to NFSHS formats is not supported and is not planned, so the add-on doesn't have much utility when it comes to modding the game itself.

The add-on can also handle more data when used in conjunction with the glTF format, but the data format is not stable yet which is why I'm not documenting it.


Requirements:

  • The add-on is tested with Blender 4.4. Version 4.2 might work, but I haven't verified it.

      Maybe "NeedForSpeedHighStakestools" is a little too long?!? :laughcry:

      This is veeeery useful for everyone who is working on a NFS4 remake for sure.. Too bad we don't have any benefit for modding our favorite game itself

      For a real remake the original assets are too lowpoly tbh...maybe for creating the trackshape accurately. Anyways shading, animation, camera support is impressive on this tool.

      Btw - you guys seen the Project HS Demo by QuantumRez?

      When coming up with the name I thought that I would be doing a set of command line tools that allow for unpacking the game files, but in the end I settled for just a Blender addon. There are plenty of other nice command line tools that can unpack and repack files.
