How to Create Your Own Ball & Green Texture

Hey everyone,
In this tutorial I will explain how to create your own ball for 2k12.
This also might be helpful for green textures.

First step:
Start your Nba2KX_ModTool 2k12 and open the file "nbaball.iff". It should look similar to this:


And now export the first texture (number 0) with the marked button in the picture above.

Second step:
Open the exported texture in Photoshop or any other image editor:


Now edit the texture the way you want and import it back to the ModTool (don't close the Photoshop yet!).

Third step:
Now we need to make the green texture (texture 1 in the ModTool), and we are now still going to use the first texture we created.
In your Photoshop go to Filter > NIVIDIA Tools > NormalMapFilter.
Now a window will pop up for you and just press OK (don't change anything), and your texture should look now like that:


Fourth step:
We'll need to change now a few things:
1.Go the Channels and copy to "Green channel" and paste it on the Alpha channel (Alpha 1).
2.Copy the "Red channel" and paste it on the "Green channel".
3.Make the "Red channel" and the "Blue channel" completely black.

Now it should look like this:


Now simply save it as dds DXT5 and import it back to texture 1 in the ModTool!

Enjoy guys

Just happy to contribute a little for this community after getting so much from her

thanks for the added green layer tutorial! very helpful indeed!

For non-Photoshop users, you can use SS Bump Generator to create the same image as the normal map filter. Embossing may also help prior to running this program. In Paint Shop Pro an adjustment layer can be used to create the green layer.

venjeny, do not double-post (as in don't reply immediatelly after a reply of your own). Use the EDIT button on the top-right corner of your post, instead.

You can find plenty of drawing tutorials on Google.
