Dude the last thing you should do is criticize yourself. This is great, and I'd love to include it in my roster pack for the SUM, if you're willing. Send me the files, if so, and please continue adding tats. There are tons of people on these Forums (though silent) who are stickler's for visual accuracy, and these tatoos are certainly that. Keep up the great work, brotha. (Y)

Much appreciated

I'll try to make some more (Delonte West is next), but I'll send you the files tomorrow morning either way.
Anyone else, lemme know if I should release these 3.

by **Scottybasketball** on Tue Nov 14, 2006 3:34 pm

Yes release them. Tattoo's are not made to often.
Delonte added a few new ones this year

by **bigh0rt** on Tue Nov 14, 2006 3:37 pm

el badman, a tat I've tried but haven't been able to quite get are Donyell Marshall's leg ones. He's gotten one on each calf this year. Would love you to try them out. :wink:

He has a bunch of them and I'm having a hard time finding good pix. I dunno if the game has both of his neck tats either, I'll try to make them otherwise.
I'll release these guys tomorrow, thanx for feedback

I was just browsing thru pix of his arm tats right now (but maybe they're already in the game, like Dooling and Nelson, my other projects...).
Can't really find any good ones of his legs, but I'll give it a shot if I see any. (Y)

I also wanna find finish Watson cuz his arms are full of tats, but once again, I need pix! :wink:

Carlos Boozer is also rockin' a new tat

by **el badman** on Wed Nov 15, 2006 2:49 am

I saw that Live already has West and Marshall's arms tats, so I'll just add West's neck tat and Marsh's leg tats (at least I'll try...). Also Bibby's hands tats.

I can't find these players ID in appearance.Can some one help me?

I'm trying to find some more pix and I'll give it a try. Thx for pointing that out bighOrt :wink:

If u use DB commander or even Excel, there should be a search function you can use to look for their names (look in players.dbf first since it has the names, then appearance.dbf). From what I can remember, I think Williams was 2036 or something like that for example.

Nice tats but damn my Marcus Williams cyberface looks beaitiful!!! :applaud:

Haha, yea it does look cool

For future reference, sorry if my screenies show updated CFs, shoes or anything else from other patchers, and I forget to credit them...I'm not advertising them as mine, I promise, it's just the tats!

Nah, lol it's cool I am actually glad that you downloaded it :wink:

Here is a new version of Earl Watson with his right arm tat (and a better left arm tat), and Dooling.

by **Kbryant8** on Wed Nov 15, 2006 7:32 am

those tats are really nice,i know that it`s hard to make tattoos.
You should learn from that tuto where you can import tats into the tats viv.
Then there is``nt any dbf stuf to edit.
Well,keep it up (Y)

Well, that's what I wanna do too, but I didn't see it mentioned in the tutorial though, so I have no idea how to do that... yeah, that'd be much simpler

I'm trying to get a new program so I can add Pdub's sweat files to each .fsh (if it's possible at least), cuz I don't have photoshop and I can't open .dds...

I'm sure the tats would look better with the sweat alpha.

Thanks for the feedback Kbryant8 (Y)

Try this out.
I used the same tuto for 07 tats and now i know

it`s hard but it`s worth it :wink:

Wow, went through all of it and that's pretty complex stuff...
The main thing is I don't have photoshop so it'd be hard for me to follow this process accurately.
Thanx for the link either way, that's good inspiration :wink:

by **cklitsie** on Wed Nov 15, 2006 10:20 am

Not badman (lame :crazy:

), but seriously, nice stuff here. Keep it up. (Y)

by **el badman** on Wed Nov 15, 2006 6:06 pm

Okay, I wasn't satisfied with the released tats because I was losing Pdub's sweat patch in the process, and the arms were all shiny again...
I finally figured out how to re-add the sweat alpha to each bhed using fshline (kudos to whoever made it :wink:

), so I wanted to re-release the 4 players shown above.
Here are a couple more previews to show the changes:

Still not what I wanna achieve because I can't create a contrast/resolution as clear as EA's default tats, but I think this alpha looks much more realistic (thanks Pdub (Y)

). Here is the link for the new versions:
http://rapidshare.com/files/3424307/Upd ... s.rar.html

Now, I have a question for those who know a little bit about tattoos in Live: I really wanna add some missing tats to Donyell Marshall, Bibby and Boozer, but since these guys already have some tats files of their own in the plyrtats.viv, is it possible to still use the same method (add a customized armXYbase.fsh or legXYbase.fsh in sgsm folder, and change MUSCLETEXT in appearance.dbf) without having to redo the existing tats?
Any tips would be appreciated (Y)

.
Other than that, Maxiell and Sefolosha should be next

.

by **el badman** on Thu Nov 16, 2006 7:09 am

Here are Maxiell and Sefolosha's tats:

They look much better when I add them, but the game resizes everything to 256x256, so the tats lose a lot of details in the process. I tried in 512x512 and it produces some weird visual glitches...
Anyway, here's the link for download:

by **cklitsie** on Thu Nov 16, 2006 8:44 am

They're looking good. I can't believe you're making these without Photoshop.

by **el badman** on Thu Nov 16, 2006 10:21 am

Well, I use a Microsoft program that's a little bit older, but it has pretty much the same functions, so good enough :wink:

Since I still have no idea how to add tats to existing tattoo files, I don't have any new project so far...

boozer?

by **el badman** on Thu Nov 16, 2006 4:40 pm

boozer?

I'd like to, but like I said above, he already has a tattoo file in plyrtat.viv, and it's a completely different method in that situation (when adding a tat to existing ones).
If anyone can give me some hints on how to do this, I'll be glad to try it out...
