Heyy hammer
Do you have any rap beats I can use?

I'll just need one for my first song if i make it, and to see how parts should sound.

Thanks in advance

[hammertime23]

Okay RSox here is one of my beats, it's more of a happy one then a grunge one. You'll probably like it.

thanks rsox.
the ratings are going to take a long time. i have finished the first round, and all next week i have an architecture project, and i would be lucky to complete 5 players a day. this whole thing could be finished as soon as 2 weeks or as long as 5-6 weeks, wel see


Rsox, would you be able to add all the potraits u made into a compressed zip folder and post/or send it to me? thanks (dont be hesitant to make any more! )

[RSox]

I don't have enough time to get all the portraits together for you. Sorry. They are all in this thread pages 1 and 2. 23 total Here is a little something to make it up to you. I also made it so I would have made 23 portraits (Jordan)

[Fluffy Taco]

is this a part of the mega release 06/07? if so, will there be a download link for the download which includes stuff like the saved rosters and EVERY player that needs to be in the SGSM folder?

[---]

no its not part of the mega release, because it wont be ready for about another 2 - 3 weeks. by the way guys as soon as i talk to rsox and hammertime there wil be screens put up just to let u guys knw how is looking

RSox, are u sure you couldnt put all potraits from julian wright down into a zip folder? im outta usage on my rapidshare and its taking ages to get them 1 by 1

[---]

heres some SCREENSHOTS to keep everyone happy while we continue on this project



i wont be able to work to much on the project this week due to school exams, projects, etc.

should be done within 3 weeks!

[RSox]

My portraits turned out quite nice. The Oden portrait looks better than I thought it would.

I'm sorry, but the downloads won't work for me.
Don't forget to get the second Brandon Wright
Marcus Williams is MUWILLI
The Brandon Wright (2nd one) is BAWRIGH

Update your list
You forgot to account for the Curtis Sumpter portrait

RSox, wat reflection files do i need

[RSox]

You need to make reflection files for the fsh files so the heads for the refelections aren't pink. They have an r at the end. Look in the sgsm/playersface for them to use.

[---]

ok, i thought i needed heaps, thats easy enough. thanks.
how would u like to try out the test version?

[RSox]

I would love to try the test version

[hammertime23]

If you get on msn or yahoo now, I can hook you up with the test version since flite is at school.

[RSox]

I'll test this out when I get a chance.

[---]

Heres the all the rest of the prospects potraits. it did this today but some of them dont look great or have that grey outline, but its no big deal. the fact that there is like 40 of them more than makes up for it



thank god thats over!

[RSox]

Umm there are a few that are great, but if you don't know the bottom of the portrait gets cut of a little.
That's why you should have resized it properly until the chin matched up with the one cable did. Then you could just cut off the bottom and side parts that were left over. Traore will have his chin cut off. There are a few nice ones. The best is probably J. Smith, Newlym, Uouyoukas, and Yue.
There are a few other nice ones.

Try to also fix ones like watson whose shoulders are sticking out. If you don't know what I mean look at them ingame, and you will know which ones I'm talking about.

[---]

alot of them dont look rite, but i dont mind. il fix them up another time. can u explain to me the sizing and the chin being cut off?

[RSox]

There is a lil tutorial Cable Guy made for me about sharpening, hue/saturation, sliders, and contrast on the first page.

About the chin:
After you cut out, take the Marcus Banks on the right on the 1st page. Then put his head at the top and move it down 1px. The top of the heads (or top of fro with banks head) should be at the same spot. Then you can use the hide layer to see if the chins match up. If not resize the picture and keep trying until the chins match up.

When the chins and top of heads match up do the square lasso or whatever its called and highlight the part all below marcus banks. Then delete the part from the picture you used. On both sides start at the side of marcus banks and delete of the parts on your picture that extend out.

Now ctrl+a the enitre space. Copy just you picture. Open a new photoshop space. Make the clipboard 128x128. Paste your picture. If when you paste there is a little white at the bottom because the picture ended up 127 tall just move the picutre down 1px. Now do all the sharpening, hue/saturation, etc.


**After you cut it out if feather then turn the feather to zero or use the rectangle lasso at zero feather and highlight over the players head. Then delete. Sometimes when I use the 1 px feather There is a little spot over the top that didn't get deleted.

thanks rsox, i redo the bad ones wen i get time

[RSox]

OK
I hope you'll get the hang at making portraits looking nice

[RSox]

Maybe after this if you have time I have a cool idea.
You make the 2005 and 2006 NBA Draft installer. Then we could start with the original rosters. The first year we could draft Bogut, Chris paul, the second year we could get Morrison, Redick, Gay, and then we could use your 2007 draft installer.

[hammertime23]

That could work, I think we could convert ole english's for the 2006 rookies.
