hov's corner \\\ Danny Fortson Face & Body Edit Release

[hova-]

Hi guys,

since the retro modding has been top notch this year again, I also want to contribute.

It is my first cyberface ever, so I know there is lots of room for improvement.

Here is Mikki Moore, who played a decent role with the Nets from 06-08. He even started quite a few games.

I tried to edit everything. The tattoos are low quality, but there are just no good pictures.

I hope there are no more clipping issues, I only experienced some with short socks, but he always wore tall socks.

Here two previews:





And here's the file: Mikki Moore

I hope I find some time to improve and add further players.

Feel free to use for all your mods. I chose Moore because he was on Dee's list for Thundershaqs roster. The ID is currently 21000 so you might have to change that.

I edited all his tendencies and ratings as well as signatures. You can find him on 2k roster share. Just search for my ID "hova-".

Cheers hova-

Pretty good man. I tried my first one this week and it didn't come out nearly as well. Can't get the sculpts right in blender. Good job though man!

Cheers, man. It's tough. I put a lot of time into it and still I see plenty of stuff I could work on - like making the hair a bit shorter and deleting some of the side dreads ... maybe I will try to work on him in the future.

You just have to keep going. I had several occasions where Blenders difficult handling killed hours of work. For example when you mark areas with "b" or "c" shortcut in edit mode, it will always select attached vertics at totally different points of the body. It's tough.

Thanks for the feedback and keep going.

Good job, you picked one hell of a tough player to start out with.

It gets better with time, I am still learning every day. Listen to and reach out to those in the community who have been making faces for years, they know the ins and outs of blender/photoshop, and just the overall tricks of the trade.

I would use that Mikki Moore, obviously better than any lookalike or any created player.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Dee. I was going through all the tutorials out there in order to even understand and get the tools going (shoutout to The Goods, great tutorials). Now it's getting better by doing it I guess and hope.

If Thundershaq wants to use my Mikki Moore, he is more than welcome.

Next project is Danny Fortson, FYI. (had a hell of a rebounding season 03/04 and 04/05 for the Sonics. Since the 04-05 Sonics are on Thundershaqs roster, I will give him a go.)

[Dee4Three]

Absolutely, keep knocking off players that I put on that list. We have multiple people in on it now, so we can really try and make the project more accurate/complete.

I am working on Lewis Lloyd after Chris Mihm.

[Thunder Shaq]

Really nice work on this. I'd love to use this in future updates. I am currently using a not-so-great look alike for him on the roster.

[hova-]

Glad you like the update on him. Feel free to use him on every roster you like. I am working on Danny Fortson of the Sonics now and I feel like I've already improved a bit, so I hope you can use him too when I'm done with him.

[hova-]

I finished Danny Fortson of the 04-05 Sonics. He was a tough guy who put up sick rebound numbers in very limited playing time.

It is my second cyberface ever, and I am still working on getting better. I wanted to add a 3D facial hair but it was not possible to get the right texture that fits hair and beard ... I guess it's in the hair_color.dds but I don't understand how to change facial hair texture.

Tattoos are not best quality, but better than with Mikki Moore. I also edited his body so he looks as big as he really was.

There should be no clipping issues with his usual accessories.

I can’t wait to try him in game!
