LEGENDS RENEWED: The Admiral and MJ Update Preview

[Maximus89]

That' Penny looks older. I think the chin part of the goatee should be higher and darker and the mustache much thinner and lighter. The very thick hair makes him look like he's over 30 years old IMO.

Here's the main issue. A lot of the head meshes used are from last gen. This is the primary problem with trying to fix each one to look exactly like the player. Take Penny for example. I've tried giving him the thinner stach but the way the head mesh is designed he looks like monkey or dog. If there is someone correcting or redesigning meshes I can provide new textures all day. However, we are stuck working with what is available. Terry Cummings, Ron Harper, Jerome Kersey to name a few, have HORRIBLE head meshes. While textures can mask some of the issues, they can't work miracles. Just letting you guys know what we're working with.

Again, if there is someone out there redesigning the meshes themselves, please let me know. I can provide high quality textures no problem. So, try to keep this fact in mind while making request. Some just will not work due to 2k implementing horrific head meshes from years past.

Funny they used the same render of joe johnson now for back then. And also neglected to change his position back to SG. And richardson to SF

[Barkley_Sixers]

I was looking at some players and... Jim Jackson is fat and strong just like Shaq, WTF

[I Hate Mondays]

Can you also change the shade of Jason Kidd's face ? He is too pale in comparison to his heads and general body skintone. His face should be a little bit darker.

This is a huge one... I have the 10-11 Mavs intact, looking great. With the exception of Barney the dinosaur (aka Jason Kidd) being on the floor...

[Dee4Three]

Any chance of releasing these? I would love to look at them in game...

[rickiu]

I am so excited with your work!! WHEN is it going to be released?? I feel bored with the current NBA teams. Classic teams are most worth playing!! I am a heavy fan of Penny and Jordan I love your previews!!!

I love drawing & would like to help in correcting or redesigning meshes. But I have no idea what softwares should I use and how it work?? (using Greg's Tool calls NBA2K15 Explorer and any others?) Could you give me some links for reference?

By the way, Is there any way to use the BLUE away jersey of 94-95Magic? (only the black one available now..)
Like the others pointed out, 2K should put more effort on 2 to 3 Star Players in which classic team... Even MJ`s face is odd...
Your renewed legends work is highly appreciated!!! i mean it!!!

[quote="Davon6"]So its that time again. Now that the new explorer is out I've begun updating the Legends for this year's game. Will be a much easier and much faster process this time around so I should have a download ready sometime very soon. In the meantime, here's a couple preview shots. You know I always have to hit up Mike and Scottie first.

[Davon6]

Here's a list of the players completed for release. There are still more to fine tune so please be patient:

Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Tony Kukoc
Ron Harper
Terry Cummings
Penny Hardaway
Isaiah Thomas
Joe Dumars
Larry Johnson
Oscar Robertson
Bill Russell
Alonzo Mourning
Dennis Rodman
Jeff Hornacek
John Stockton
Karl Malone
Moses Malone
Patrick Ewing
Wilt Chamberlain
Allen Iverson
Clyde Drexler
John Starks
Otis Thorpe

Remember, this is only the ones that are complete for the most part. Maybe some fine tuning but nothing major. Others are still in the lab. Hopefully the first pack will be ready soon so stay tuned.

[USMarineSoldier]

Great work I'm glad someone stepped up and took this much needed challenge. So disrespectful how they made the legendary players look in this game. Both Dr J models look horrible!!! Can you make Iverson with a headband also?

[Davon6]

For those requesting a particular player to be fixed, if possible try to provide the player ID number to make things easier and quicker. Takes a while to search through the face files so any help is appreciated.

Allen Iverson 76ers 0005
Julius Erving 76ers 0766
Julius Erving Nets 2301

The player ids are in the cyberface id list in the tutorials section.. Just press ctrl f and type in the last name to locate.

Oh, and David Robinson . Facial hair should be cleaned up, should only have a mustache. He also looks like a fish :/

Awesome, huge help. You doing this really makes a big difference.

n timetable for the release of a few of these?

Thanks!

[matmat66]

Thanks for your efforts man, great works. Could you also fix Jason Kidd, maybe make him look younger and fix the skin tone to match that of the head with the body? His player ID is 0226. Thanks again.

Should be sometime soon. I'm hoping to have them ready sometime this week barring any unforeseen issues. Just need to fine tune some faces. But, the Admiral is being worked on as we speak.

Perfect! We cant wait! My brother and I. Ha

Do you know if verifying the game cache deletes created players?

[TBM]

Verifying game cache doesn't effect rosters, so no.

[eko718]

Seems like there is a bit too much shadowing on Jordans face...ends up looking discolored.

[iamSamke]

Amazing faces over here!
