How To: Make A Sexy Beard

Hello guys, today I’m going to teach you how to add beards/mustache/goatees or anything that concerns facial hair, to a player in any NBA 2k game. In this tutorial, I used Manu Ginobili's cyberface as an example.

What you need:
1.) Photoshop/ Gimp
2.) Patience
3.) Ability to read well and thoroughly

First, open the dds file for the player’s face.



Then create a new layer. Use the brush tool and make your color picker setting like this:


(FYI, that’s the color gray.)

Then you need to paint the part that you wanted to have the beard on, like this. You can either paint his whole jaw as a whole or you can paint a part of his jaw so you can flip it later.



Then go to Filter >> Noise >> Add Noise



It should now look like this



Then go to Filter >> Blur >> Radial Blur and copy my settings



Result:


(It looks like shit for now. But trust me, it’s going to be good!)

After you do that, pay attention to this part of Photoshop



Now see that “Normal” thing there before the Opacity? Change that to Hard Light



It should look like this



Then it’s your turn to experiment with this but since I'm very helpful , I’ll show you how I did mine.

Press ctrl+u and copy my settings



And the result should be this



Then I went and screwed with the Curves. Press CTRL+M and so I went on with this settings



So now the beard is looking SEXY



When you’re satisfied with the result, CTRL+A to copy the texture of the beard and paste it



It will look like that but use the Hard Light Blending thing again aaaaaaand Voila!



Now, go to Edit >> Transform >> Flip Horizontally



TADAAAAAAAA!

Now just pair it beside the beard that you made earlier

Outcome:




Now, you do the rest. Do the Alpha Channel, Green Texture, etc.

This is very useful, thank you ! I would want a tutorial for hair updates if you consider.

I mean, taking an already made cyberface and applying different hairstyles to it for personal use.

@KevinParker13. Did you already make a tutorial about the Alpha Channel and the Green Texture?

No but I'm planning on making one.

Ok. Thanks bro. Will be waiting for that

Forget about the beard, look at the chest hair

copy pasted that from Nash's original chest hair

Updated the tutorial.
