any idea on how to install the portraits?

Just like all other patches using Texmod.

[Zach]

1. Run Textmod
2. Target Application (chose nba2k9.exe)
3. Select the packages you want under package mode (you can do more than one at a time). All of the team folders contain a package file that you can use. I just included the textures as an added bonus.
4. Run

dayyum... those CFs look better than their real counterparts!

anyway, my comment on wade is that he looks like he's wearing foundation, lol.
i mean, the skin tone of the face is probably not consistent with the rest of the body. but that's only how i see it. other than that, everything is perfect!

[Shinyhubcaps]

1.) Great work on all of these; Dwyane Wade is misspelled, but otherwise, everything looks great. Too bad the crazy Gooden goatee won't take until you can add to the sculpt. I hope that time comes soon.

2.) Would it be possible to do some Milwaukee Bucks? I'd mostly like to see Michael Redd because everyone gets that wrong, but Charlie Villanueva and Richard Jefferson look horrid as well.

So keep up the good work, and one request for Michael Redd. Thank you!

[Zach]

Here is a Charles Barkley cyberface. It is pretty much finished. I may do like one or two more tweaks though.

Time for some Drew Gooden love. I wasn't able to do his sweet hangy goatee yet, but if 3D model editing becomes available I will work that in. Anyway, it's still an improvement.

gooden looks a lot like cassell for some reason

barkley is pretty good. i think the biggest problem with ur Cf's is the eyes

[tnt23]

WOW NICE BARKLEY THX !

only thing perfectable is head shape...but seems no acccess to that right now

[MAGNUM]

is this just a showcase thread? or is there gona be a release?+

[Glen]

i really like barkley, headshape from what i can see from the front view you previewed seems fairly accurate considering it is made from CAP headshape... keep it up Zach...

[tnt23]

Glen:) nice to see 2K9 brought u out of retirement too where is your MJ ?

[23akim23]

Where's the Link?

[@gent zer0]

Could U make Josh Smith, Rudy Gay, OJ Mayo, Marc Gasol, Nate Robinson, Danny Granger?
And if you could release newest lakers, raptors, magic, phx portraits? Thanks in advance

[Zach]

Hey guys. I have not posted anything in a while, but I am back with a complete portrait update. It includes updated portraits for every player currently on an NBA roster. It also includes updated portraits for several free agents and legends. More legend portraits are coming soon. Also, I am also done my roster update that will allow me to release my missing player portraits as well. So, expect to see that in the near future.

Download the portrait update here.

All portraits similar to the Cavalier ones below.

[jlaman_26]

Wow very nice potraits...amazing..Just a little request though, will it be possible for you to create another version where all their jersey are just white so that it will look great even if the players were traded to a different team? Thanks.

[Makavetis 7]

are these in iff? can we just put them in the 2k9 folder?

[jlaman_26]

No its tpf. You need texmod to make this work.

[Angelo]

Thanks for the potraits

[Lenkbron]

Excellent work!

Now if someone could figure it out how to make them in .iff, but i'll use them anyway for now

[Spotlight]

Looks like there is no need for me to continue my MPU 09... Really good work man! Fast and great!

[kingtrobe2411]

so how do you install the .tpf file for the portraits using texmod??

[Zach]

You just run texmod and load up the .tpf file and start the game. If you don't know how to use texmod there are plenty of tutorials for it around this forum. A quick search will help you out.

[chinoy316]

Do you know how to put portraits on created players?

[bigball12]

Get Drew Gooden's beard please! And try and do portraits for all the missing players as well. Example: Kristic, Amundson, Chalmers etc.
