I've been fed up with the created player cyberfaces for quite some time. They just look so out of place next to the ones that were done properly, and it really results in me giving up on associations because all players look more or less the same. So that's why I decided to retexture some cyberfaces as a way to quickly make cyberfaces for new draft classes.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?aoq70fhvagqzzrpLike I said, I used existing meshes and retextured them, for which I used a combination of existing face textures in the game. For example, 7000 is Desagana Diop's mesh retextured with bits of Eddy Curry, Zach Randolph, Kwame Brown, DJ White. (I am not sharing the assets I used for the other CFs since knowing this information will allow you to see through the mesh potentially spoiling your willing suspension of belief.) Speed is more important than quality here to me. The players have to look better and more uniquely than the procedurally generated in-game faces. This is not an exercise in creating beautiful generic CFs. If someone wants to invest time into changing around their meshes a bit using Blender, then feel free to do so.

This is Awesome!! Great Job!

Good work bro.
I'm loving the idea of giving these fictional prospects realistic faces. If they end up looking good, i'll create a new patch/package including your work.
Here's the guys that i feel could use a makeover:
Lou Reynolds (make him look like an old school type center. Give him a beard
)
Wade Gooding (make him look like a young stud. 7001 could be suitable)
Percy Hansen (do what you want. make him look athletic. 7003 could work)
Ben Walls
Leslie Richmond (blonde hair brown eyes look)
Will Hayward
Tyson Saunders (make him look like an immature thug)
Isaac Izzo (young stud. give him a jrue holiday look)
Melvin Nichols (solid post player. elton brand look)
Guys that don't need cyberfaces (their look is already quite distinguished in the game):
Bill Daily
Cedric Archibald
Mario Salvaderi
Taribo Ikedia
Everybody else is up to you. Maybe we could recruit a couple of dudes to help make a huge catalog of fictional cyberfaces. I might even make a few faces myself if i can learn how. Looking forward to potentially working with you man.
P.s. i'm about 10 prospects deep into nictionaldraftclass2

this is great!!!
Fri Mar 30, 2012 7:32 pm
Thanks, everyone.
It would certainly be great to have some custom CFs available for people to improve their fictional drafts. I'll keep making them and I'll pay special attention to the names you requested, Nick. (I wouldn't use 7001 for Wade atm since the CF just looks to old to be a young stud. I'll have a look at sorting that out, though.)
If anybody out there is more experienced that me with Blender, then this could be even better. Just tweaking the meshes a bit would make everyone face completely unique. Now I still see some resemblances to existing NBA players in some of the CFs, but that's maybe because I know which player's mesh I used. I'll have a look at that as well, though.
I'll try to add a few more in the weekend.

Updated 7001 to remove the grey patches in his hair.
Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:32 am
Good concept. I just think the white guy looks about 42 years old.
Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:52 am
Looking forward for more releases. 7001 looks nice

Can you do couple of guys with braids like Allen Iverson or Melo back in a day. Thanks
Sat Mar 31, 2012 3:16 am
I made two new ones while waiting for dinner.

png7004 - A big strong old school center type of guy. Fully tattooed arms, yet mature beyond his years. What do you think about this one for Lou Reynolds, Nick?
png7005 - A lightning fast, technical swingman, maybe even a young point guard, or a PF/C that is a bit on the soft side? Maybe a bit too much of a baby face for Wade Gooding, or not?
7003 has braids but I'll do a few more later on. I can see how you could find 7002 to look old. It's probably because he has Peja's eyes and Pollard's beard. But still... in my opinion he looks a least twice as young as LeBron or Oden. :-p

Added some more for 12 in total. Btw, 7010 has a mohawk.
Sat Mar 31, 2012 4:15 pm
These are great.
If you could do something with Brandon Jennings as the base, or at least using his haircut (he has one of the best hairs in the game IMO) it'd be awesome. I'm looking for a great faux/mohawk swingman CF for my player.
Sat Mar 31, 2012 11:03 pm
Sure, I'll do a Brandon Jennings mesh one in the next batch. Jennings has skin color 2. I'll probably make him darker (0 like Dajuan Blair for example) or lighter (4 like Monta Ellis) to make it less obvious that I'm using Jennings' mesh. So would like him to be darker or lighter and do you want tattooed arms or not. (If you know the correct skin colors, you can just let me know whose arms you want me to use. Just keep in mind that I won't spend time drawing custom tats. I'm afraid that I don't have the time to do that.)

Darker would be great. I don't usually tattoo any of my guys so clean arms are fine

Thanks!

Awesome work bro!!~ Added your work in the list! I luvit!
Sun Apr 01, 2012 8:00 am
Thanks, rockstar. And thanks for your list. I've been using it to find some less common CFs and the 2012 draft CFs. It has helped me immensely.
Sin, I've made one with Jennings but I'm afraid I'm not that happy with the result as Brandon's face/hair is just too typical. It's hard to not see through the texture and see Brandon Jennings. (In case you're not experiencing that problem, it's 7013.) I'll probably still use him, but as a 7'2 skinny guy like Manute Bol (but stylisher obviously).
Sun Apr 01, 2012 8:03 am
Also added skin types in case people want to try them out using REditor.
Sun Apr 01, 2012 8:10 am
I actually really like it! You did an awesome job. You can see Jennings in there some, but it's nothing overwhelming. The hair is just awesome.
Fri Apr 06, 2012 6:31 am
Thanks Nick.
I'm currently in crunch time on a game dev project for work so it'll take a while for new faces to be done or old ones to be edited.
Keep in mind that I can't change the 3D mesh. I can't give a guy with a faux hawk corn rows or change a guy's nose. I can only retexture. Well, I could have a look at blender but it's going to take quite some time for me to do so. If you want to adjust features like that, maybe we should find you a CF guy who can already do things like that. If he just edits the mesh a bit, the face will be completely different because the texture has nothing to do with the original mesh anymore.

can you put some screenshots of CF's ?

Hey MacBryce, i just released Nictional Draft Class 2... and i think 7003 would suit very well with "Brendan Washington" from that class... check it out and see: viewtopic.php?f=143&t=83102
Sun May 20, 2012 11:06 pm
Bro can I have a request made?
I hope you can do Dahntay Jones face with Marc Gasol's default 2k12 hair and Tony Parker's beard.
Thanks man
Wed May 23, 2012 11:07 pm
This is great. But will this work on a working association? and what if I already have rookies on ym association? They still look the same.:l
Tue Jul 17, 2012 6:46 pm
Hey MacBryce, you still around? If so, REDitor has finally released it's new version with ability to edit DraftClasses... which means i can finally attach these faces to some of the players in my fictional draft class. 
If you're still around, are you keen on making some more?
Or if MacBryce is M.I.A, then is anybody else keen on making some?
