Who know how to use AUTODESK MAYA here?

if someone know how to use this software then i think we can be able to make some textures and some shader lights in nbalive 2008 and also the ebos too

well in the original ebo editor and ebodit you can shade parts in the ebo...

i dont really know what using these other programs will really do for us.

Why not trying Microsoft's Directx SDK? I'm not sure but it must be free to download&use!
I think, if someone makes some good shaders for the game, it would be great.
Look at these screenshots of Microsoft's Flight Simulator X:
Wonderful Shader Effects on the water surface with the last-gen pixel shader 2.0 power:

They all have been made with the last gen technology power of Directx 9c.

2 ways of doing this. The requirement would be a programmer who knows how to debug and hook into a program and make/modify a shader.

1. - Find and hack NBA Live's shaders.
2. - Debug NBA Live and create a program that hooks into Live and overrides it's shader with a custom one.

They all have been made with the last gen technology power of Directx 9c.

Which is what the Xbox 360 uses a fork of...

that is what i am trying to do now making a new shader but it seems it is really hard to do btw ignatus is a good graphic artist i think he may help us with this ill try to talk to him about this matter
