✪ [Cam]'s Mods ✪ #TheReturn & Complete Association Mod info: Post 1250 + Poll

[Medevenx]

I just updated the poll, if you mean just longer hexpads & sleeves + default legs. If you mean full leg-length hexpads and sleeves, I would have to change quite a lot in Blender to achieve that. As far as the leg sleeves, I only updated the full leg sleeve to be like my D.Rose gear, black with white socks. I haven't included all of the textures utp provided as it would compromise the accuracy of the accessory edits that Med includes in his roster. With the latest body modifications I've made in blender, the long hexpads, sleeves as well as Melo calf sleeves achieve the effect utp was going for with his textures without restricting a player to only white socks.

I think in the roster I sent you, I have Carmelo still wearing the mid calf sleeve, and Al Jefferson wears a full leg sleeve? Tell me which edits I need to do for my roster to make it like that so I can have the #TheReturn roster compatible with #TheReturn global

[Zeph]

Cam, this is the best global out there in terms of textures. However, I find it unplayable with the current skin tones on the global.
Can you fix this? Can you use the same skin tones as Lagoa?

[Prev]

agree with Zeph.

Also i wish that you Cam could make 2 versions of your new global , one with skinny legs and one without it (default ones or lagoa's are good) cause i know that most players are split into 2 groups when it comes to legs , some that like skinny legs globals and some that hate it .

[utp1985]

I see you tweaked the accesories greta work!

[seanbarkley]

Great looking new stuff Cam, really like those sleeve textures! It'd be great if you could add it to the regular knee sleeves too.

It's a shame that you couldn't make socks change when combined with long leg sleeves but if you can't get it, it must be impossible I guess...

[J.Davey]

I still wonder if it'll be possible the "Al Jefferson leg sleeves style" set as black with socks color changing by home + away.

Same doubt

Any idea when will be possible a BETA version with these texture sleeves?

[[Cam]]

As far as the Al Jefferson leg sleeves (which go all the way up and cover the knees) the socks would remain white, if used like my D.Rose sleeves meaning when the color is "white" the socks will be white. However, if the color is set to say Team Color 2 and Team color 2 is White when home and Black when away, the socks would be white for home and black when away, as no matter what, the leg sleeves that players wear this year are black. Hope that all made sense lol.

Made all sense...kinda I still wonder if it'll be possible the "Al Jefferson leg sleeves style" set as black with socks color changing by home + away.

And I don't know how accurate you want regarding accessories textures, but one challenge that would be nice to pay attention:

Matches Knee sleeves+hexpad white with socks color tone

For the Al Jefferson leg sleeves style, the texture I'm using for the tights is black, opposed to red/white which would result in a color change on the tights. As I mentioned before, the sleeves at white would keep the tights black but socks white, sleeeves set at black would deepen the black of the tights a tad but socks would be black. So in turn, team color 2 (if white when home and black when away) would result in the aforementioned color changes. As far as the accessories matching socks, I accept that challenge

What values did you change in the global for the lighting?

None at all for the base I'm using atm, but when I convert over to REIGN, I'll see if it even warrants value changes for lighting.

those diamond spot in the triceps area? why it keeps on apearing everytime it has to be on a tight shoes?
hoping to see some fixed issues about that thing.

I think those triceps spots are a result of Lagoa's arm edits. Then again, I've also seen them with default arms, so idk if there's a fix for them from all of the things I've experienced. I like using Lagoa's arms due to his muscle reduction edits so this may be something that may end up being overlooked if there's no fix known.

I think in the roster I sent you, I have Carmelo still wearing the mid calf sleeve, and Al Jefferson wears a full leg sleeve? Tell me which edits I need to do for my roster to make it like that so I can have the #TheReturn roster compatible with #TheReturn global

Yeah you do have him at mid calf sleeves, I changed them to half calf sleeves in my edits; And yup Big Al wears a full leg sleeve (tights)



So in the BETA global I sent you, you could just change his gear to "Leg Sleeve" and it'll be the tights that I've implemented. I know there are others that wear these tights but Big Al is always the first that comes to mind. If you need me to I can go team by team and update you with gear edits to align with my global based off of what players are wearing today via ESPN photos on their latest played games, just let me know if you'd like me to go that in depth

Cam, this is the best global out there in terms of textures. However, I find it unplayable with the current skin tones on the global.
Can you fix this? Can you use the same skin tones as Lagoa?

I've had to address this many times, but I'm not sure if it's been noted lately. Lagoa uses 2k default skin tones with just occlusion edits. I'll release multiple versions of my global: REIGN base, Lagoa V5 base, and extremely doubtful that JohnDoe would allow me to use his base, but that would be the final possible base.

agree with Zeph.

Also i wish that you Cam could make 2 versions of your new global , one with skinny legs and one without it (default ones or lagoa's are good) cause i know that most players are split into 2 groups when it comes to legs , some that like skinny legs globals and some that hate it .

I'll release 4-5 body modification versions as usual with my releases.

I see you tweaked the accesories greta work!

Yeah man, all thanks to your textures I was able to have a nice base start with and in turn made some tweaks to achieve what you see in the previews

Great looking new stuff Cam, really like those sleeve textures! It'd be great if you could add it to the regular knee sleeves too.

It's a shame that you couldn't make socks change when combined with long leg sleeves but if you can't get it, it must be impossible I guess...

Thanks man, which texture would you like seen added to which knee sleeves (just give me a little more specifics so I know what exactly I'm looking to edit)

It is possible to make the "socks" (which is really just a white sock texture combined with the leg sleeve texture) As I mentioned before, it would require color changes of the gear: white is black tights with white socks, black is black tights with black socks, for those that have Team Color 2 as White - Home & Black - Away. Therefore, the changes would automatically be made based off of uniform change.

I still wonder if it'll be possible the "Al Jefferson leg sleeves style" set as black with socks color changing by home + away.

Read all of the above replies to the queries, hopefully it clears things up for you.

Great info Cam , cant wait for your global(s) !

[ecwrulz91]

Oh man, this is gonna be great.

Yep I know man, but the bad part is that we have to use one team color just for the socks (luckily that color scheme coincides with the color some teams use for arm/leg sleeves). As I told you the ideal would be get those "socks" working with the real sock color, but as far as I know it must be impossible...

And related to the texture I talked about before I was talking about the sleeve itself Melo is wearing in the pics you posted. You made them more matt and not so brilliant as far as I can see (close to what JohnDoe had done). It would be cool if you could add that matt texture to knee hex pads and sleeves too! (I hope u can understand me this time)

[iPenny24]

i really hope that you will incude this Lagoa Next-Gen Arm Sleeves: Lagoa V5 Lower Body when you release this awesome work of yours Cam

That's actually my method of updating the accessories, I did all of the players of all teams in one whole day (Saturday), but I didn't edit them with your new global yet. I'll probably check out those who have long knee sleeves with your new global later.

[J.Davey]

Cam, let me tell you that besides your hard-working project, your feedback with us is impressing

Is there a schedule for next BETA with these new sleeve textures?

[MrLuka]

Cam, let me first thank you for you commitment to making NBA 2K14 a better place.
And now i have a question . Why don't you put in the type of short sleeves that kobe and kyrie wear like this one on this picture

Thanks a bunch man, glad you're tuned in!

(I hope u can understand me this time)

Haha yeah I understand you man, I'll do the best I can to achieve the effect JohnDoe was able to perfect in his flesh mod. Sadly, I'm limited to what I can do as I'm not knowledgeable in the field of hex. If you or anyone else would like to school me on the basics of hex, it's something I've been dying to add to me repertoire after teaching myself how to create textures and edit 3D models in Blender.

i really hope that you will incude this Lagoa Next-Gen Arm Sleeves: Lagoa V5 Lower Body when you release this awesome work of yours Cam

I'll take the top 4 options voted on and include them in the official release, so I'm sure it'll be in there

Sounds good man, just post a comment or drop me a PM if you have any questions or suggestions

Cam, let me tell you that besides your hard-working project, your feedback with us is impressing

Thanks a bunch man, that means a lot. I'm just happy to be back and serving up some mods for the community. I pride myself on paying attention each and every comment so I leave no query unaddressed. I always want you guys to have in insight on what exactly it is that I'm going rather than leaving you in the dark and saying "Hey I've got this mod, here's some vague previews, see ya in 2 weeks when I'll comment again with little to no progress"

My hopes are to get a BETA out to you guys around the time Med releases his v1.0 roster, as I want to make sure everything checks out with him as far as body edits and accessories before I put my stamp of approval on it. I still need to convert my work over to SJ's REIGN base so that will be the most likely BETA that I release for you all. I'm gonna need to link up with Med again and see if he'd be willing to make a "next-gen" roster for the next-gen arm sleeve body mods, as I'd like to include my Adidas tech-fit arm sleeves in one of the sleeve slots rather than 2 padded arm sleeve slots. But that of course would be up to him.

For those that may be unfamiliar with the tech-fit sleeves I refer to above in my reply to J.Davey this is a preview from Christmas when I created them. They would be exclusively in the next-gen arm sleeve globals, with the pad being the style that adidas uses. As everyone knows, the "next-gen" arm sleeves by Lagoa create a bump in ALL sleeves including regular shooting sleeves and the D.Howard Adidas sleeves; So even though there's no pad in the sleeves Dwight wears, I made it at least brand accurate and changes some textures to make the pad the one that they use in all of their equipment.



As stated above I would have to see if Med would be willing to release a roster with the normal arm sleeves changed over to padded arm sleeves, leaving the usual normal arm sleeve slot open for the tech-fit sleeve worn by Damian Lillard, Ben McLemore and others in the NBA.

Cam, let me first thank you for you commitment to making NBA 2K14 a better place.

Thanks for the kind words man. As far as your inquery, what is it exactly that you'd like to see? Maybe a short description as well as some more pics to clarify for me so I can get the gist of what you're talking about

I would but they don't ever let my PNG's show up the way I like them to are my images not showing? Oh btw Med, have you read the above stuff and would you be willing to make that separate roster as we had planned before I left?

[MrLuka]

Well as you can see on the picture his sleeve is rolled down to his elbow so its shortened. Here are some pictures for further info.

So if I'm understanding this correctly, you're recommending a texture with wrinkles around the elbow to imitate a folded down shooting sleeve? Or do you mean for me to make the short sleeve the length of the ones seen in those pictures? (Sorry if I'm not comprehending this, the links you're posting send me to images that I can't really get a gist of what you may be aiming at, and I may be looking at the wrong images)

[takaw18]

cam, can you make a special global with latest non-nba brand accessories? like Nike Elite Basketball sleeve, socks etc.? so much love for your work.

Before I left?? are you gonna leave or am I lost in translation??

BTW, I know something a little hex editing some kind of files...what would you like to get with hex bro?

[Maverick]

Love the previews! Were you able to make the leg sleeves thinner?

[MrLuka]

yeah i suggest that you replace that short arm sleeve with a pad that is already in with this texture.
Hope I'm not boring and confusing you.
Keep up the good work.
P.S. When is the #THERETURN update coming out approximately ?

They are showing but he suggested it because there's a way to get your IP or something..
If you don't use imgur.. that's what I heard on another forum.

[Angelo]

If only we could have this accessories
