thnx

[wonderBOi]

release it bro!
btw can i use it in my "Historical Teams" roster? tnx

[WebberF1]

Yes everyone has permission to use my patches.

I am patching with Strobe Pryde now. So all my releases will be with the pack.

But I think maybe I will release Hadaddi and Thabeet because I said I will already release them and made them before Strobe Pryde existed. I've got alot more practice now for patching with 2k9 and improved Hadaddi CF using high res photo RaZor shared. Headshape has improvements also. It's not finished but almost.

Here is a prev.

wow! very nice webberF1

[Angelo]

Please also release the other players that youve made just like Bibby

[WebberF1]

I think we have made an agreement with Strobe Pryde to also release other patches on the side, so I guess it's ok. Here is some previews of random players. Still experimenting with lighting file and bump map settings, so it's hard to release anything at the moment. Problem with Marc Gasol is that his hair has it's own texture and I don't know how to edit it. If anyone knows anything, that'd help alot.

release the thabeet and haddadi plz
its really awesome

thabeet has mohawks now...

[WebberF1]

Thabeet's mohawk was a joke from the team. They gave him a haircut 20 mins before the first summer league game and didn't tell him they were giving him the mohawk. He shaved most of it off for the next game, and won't have it in the regular season. It was a rookie prank.

Thabeet is really rough and I'm not happy with it. I would only release it because there is no other ones released yet. But it's not very good. The problem with Thabeet is there is no high res front on picture of his face. Haddadi is better, but I haven't finalized bump map and light map settings. I am still experimenting with all players. Because not enough lighting and sweat doesn't show up as much. Too much lighting and it looks bad (for some players) because white players don't have same skin shine as a bald black player for example. And I don't want to have to re release every patch every time I decide to change lighting settings for each player.

When I release I will delete the first post and post them there. Because in live 08 I didn't know this, and I understand it was very hard for people to find the patches searching through all of the pages.

Yes, right.

Thanks for your perfectionism!

[WebberF1]

Thx christian, but I already had that photo. His face needs to be 10x bigger. Hopefully there will be one for training camp, but 2k10 will be out by then.

I tried a wierd thing the other day and actually gained fps somehow. I lowered resolution from 1152 to 1024x768 but turned anti aliasing to 8x - 2 quality and also 2x "enhance this setting" anti aliasing in nvidia control panel and the game looks super smooth. With 1024 resolution refresh rate can be 85 and there is no tearing (that needs vsync to be on). Just thought I'd share this. I have Nvidia 9600GT. So the game looks really good and is smooth and my pc is a few years old (video card is newer tho). 2k9 is great.

I have released patches in the first post.

[Angelo]

Damn those faces are so nice i especially like Mayo and Gay good job bro webberf1

[BabyFace]

[smoke01te05]

What is the no. of Thabeet??

[HellBoy]

Your Hadaddi is amazing !!! Nice cfs you are making, keep working dude, your doing gr8

[WebberF1]

I've been too busy to do much patching lately.

Getting a new PC soon, still won't have alot of time for 2k9 tho. I have done a few small things that haven't been released but in the last 2 weeks haven't done anything at all. I hope to have more time for patching in 2k10. And will try to transfer the 2k9 patches over to 2k10. Because I think most defeault headshapes and CF will look the same and have the same problems. It was said at gamespot.com I think, that overall size of the players will be smaller (more realistic). I think the lighting will look better, but the headshapes and textures will be the same, except maybe smaller head and body.

One thing about rookies, the hardest thing for most of them is the headshape. 2k10 will have good rookies headshapes. So the patches for 2k10 rookies will be 1000% better then the ones we make now. If we make them now, they will only be used for 2-3 months before 2k10 is released. Some stuff can be transferred over like the skin (I think I have a good Thabeet skin ready to go), but it's hard to be motivated to spend so many hours making a new rookie headshape when in a few months, there will be better 2k10 ones to use. A good example is OJ Mayo, I think the Mayo patch I released is really good. But if I tried to make this patch 12 months ago, it wouldn't have been good. Editting 2k9 CF and headshape is alot easier, because the base is already good. So in November this year, there will be some very good Thabeet/Jordan Hill/Curry patches etc. A few months to wait isn't that long. In the meantime, there has been some released rookies which are usable and to the makers of the patches.

The players I haven't released since last patch are.. Boozer, Calderon, Bynum, Conley (improved from last version), Marc Gasol (improved from last version), Jason Williams, I want to improve Ray Allen jawline as well. Fisher and Farmar need work, but I did the best I could, the base is just bad. Also improved Vujacic, but I don't have a CF for it and I can't release it because it's not my CF. I need permission first. Some players I edit because I like them and want to be perfect but most I try to pick the players where I think that the headshape is wrong, and they deserve better. Like Ray Allen or Fisher or Boozer etc. Brad Miller and Yi are two others I'd like to do. I will try to patch them and release them in the future if I can find some spare time. If I am sick, I will patch, but don't wish sickness on me please.

[the last laker]

can you make j-wil with dis haircut

[WebberF1]

If I get some time, I can try. It shouldn't be too hard to convert the one I made, for shorter shaved head. Here are some previews I talked about above, but I don't know when release. The Thabeet is CF only because it's the headshape that is so hard, and any CF looks bad on a bad headshape. If anyone wants to use it for their headshape, PM me.

[paulpierce]

awesome!!
definitely you shud release it bro!!
