Learning how to create cyberfaces

[DaPrazident5B]

Hello everybody,

I come to you, modders community, because I like to try to make cyberfaces by myself (at least try to do so) on NBA 2K20.
I did not manage to find tutorials specifically about 2k20. Is there one available ?
I take every advice.

Thank you very much.

Check the Tutorials sections for NBA 2K19 and NBA 2K18 as well. As I understand it, the basic steps still apply.

Thanks for help Andrew.

Check youtube for 2K tutorials and tutorials for other games such as PES (Pro Evolution Soccer), FIFA, MLB 2K, EA's NHL. The tools may be different but the process is very similar.

Would you happen to know if it is documented anywhere about the different fields in appearance_info.RDAT? I haven't been able to find any searching the past few years on the forum.
Some that that I'm interested in:
"body type": "AVERAGE",
"body normal": "AVG", (i've seen THIN also)
"muscle type": "SOFT" (i've seen SOFT, NORMAL, RIPPED)

Also is there anywhere that talks about the different texture DDS files and how they are used? The particular use case I have is I'm trying to change the scalp hair color. The face_color_o file i have has a blank space for the scalphair/eyebrows but i'm not sure which hair file is referenced. I've already tried changing hair_color_o & hair_tangent_o but it doesn't affect the scalphair or eyebrow color.

Thanks

I'm not sure, sorry. I'll have to leave that question for someone with knowledge of face modding.

When loading the face texture, check load transparency as Alpha channel. you can now change the color of the eyebrow.

Thanks, with your tip I found out that the app paint.net can't view alpha channels. It was fine in photoshop.

It would be awesome if someone could make a tutorial about editing/adjusting face textures. For me it's been pain in the ass...
