PPP - Anthony Edwards (2k22 version) converted by kidyhbrid

[TGsoGood]

I will check the most recent jalen Green from 1st post tonight. I will make sure any body issues are fixed in blender and I will try to convert it over people on 2K19 and maybe 2K2K18 also

[big-shot-ROB]

So I spent nearly 2h on this texture update. It's hard sometimes to just do texture changes as for rasing the eyelines for example, it should be done on the model, because moving the texture will result in texture parts being in the wrong triangles of the mesh. Anyway, this is what happened with this one, and while I was able to kind of fix it, it still doesn't look like a very defines straight line as I'd like (same happens for eyebrows, as all you've seen).

Anyway, new texture for Scottie. Edited superior and inferior eye lines, added some texture to parts that were blurred, raised the eyebrows, complete new mouth texture, new moustache texture (also was a blurred edit), made the forehead and hairline more broad and removed the chin beard. Fixed also the side hair texture to better fade into the 3D hair.

I might fix the moustache appearing to dark and wide at the right side, but right now I need a break

[TGsoGood]

Big-Shot-Rob that's good work.
Try swapping out the normal map with 2 or 3 players of a similar skin tone.

Are you guys renaming the textures as you change them so that they don't conflict with the original 2K models?

That's great work! Don't worry about fixing it, take a break, it looks amazing already, some minor imperfections are fine

I haven't, does it mess something up?

[TGsoGood]

if two players are using files with the same texture name, one of the players will have incorrect texture if they face each other.
I can show you what you can do going forward. For any past faces I wouldn't worry about it if no one has complained.

Jalen Johnson is no longer sick. This one was hard.

I edited the hairline, shape and placement of the eyebrows, new eyelines and face features, changed the size of the mouth and edited the colours as well as a new alpha layer for the hair to have a more dread looking afro.

Will send Barnes and Jalen to PPP shortly when I have edited the normal and bentnormal maps.

Another amazing job man! Thanks for all the contributions, the improved texture around the eyes especially makes it look so much more like him! One thing i notice tho, having looked at his pics is that he might be a bit darker? There are some pics where he looks really bright but i figure those might be with some professional lighting and stuff, no idea tho, it's amazing like this too. What do the others think?

If you make him anymore darker he looks quite dark ingame. Edit Player is always a little more illuminated than in-game.

Yeah, i think either one is fine. Another great enhancement Rob, looking forward to the release.

[TGsoGood]

Look where collaboration is taking us guys. Great work guys. I'm trying to work on new tutorials but I'm finding new info and noticing new stuff in the 2K file structure. This is an amazing year. Without the people in this NLSC community always pushing the envelope and sharing info, where would even be.

Keep it up.

Yeah, you're right, i didn't notice but yeah the player edit screen is a bit brighter.

Same, bro! I'm dropping Ziaire Williams later today, if there's any enhancements you and Rob can provide feel free to do so! This colab is really bringing some amazing cfs

[Rimbaud82]

Real nice start on Ziaire anyway mate! Looks good already!

Looking forward to seeing Garuba

[big-shot-ROB]

That's a really great start. You've really improved with the eyes and overall modeling. No parts of the model look weird or "forced". Just plain clean. My congratulations man! Only thing I'd touch a little is maybe we've gone too far with the "Ice Age Sid" look, but everything else looks amazing. No doubt I'll dive into it texture-wise!

[Aston]

You step up day by day... Great work bro

Thanks man! Garuba should be next, then Kuminga and Boston Jr.

Awesome! can't wait to see what you'll do on the texture. It's probably gonna be a real messy one since i'm not nearly as good in PS now as i am in blender but i was just going for results. If you want the 2k default one hit me up and i'll send it. And yeah i might've went too far (literally) with the eye spacing, i was going for the old "if you wanna make someone look like themselves take their traits and exaggerate them a little" lol but yeah, i'll put them a bit closer together.

Placed the eyes a bit closer together. Subtle difference but i guess it makes your texture work easier so i did it ASAP. Hope it's better now?

Your new models look great, I was wondering if you were going to make maybe a mikey williams or brandon boston jr it seems no one has made one yet and would be really cool if you could give it a shot either way good luck with your work.

I think no one is making any of these 21' prospects, unless you're paying for mods but yeah, boston jr will be made very soon, as for mikey, if i'm not mistaken he's in the class of 23' so he's not my priority now, but yeah, i'll make him eventually too. I highly doubt i will be purchasing another 2k game till next gen is out, due to the sheer amount of work i've put in modding 2k20 so i will eventually make the entire 21' 22' and 23' draft classes, at least the first rounds of each.

Shareef and Shaqir O'Neal are on the books ?

(fun facts, they are both in the Suns in my MyLeague haha)
