Hii, people! I were a cybeface and portrait creator for nba live series for 2 years(if I remember right). For some months I were inactive in patching, but now I got some more free time and some hours I now can spend in creating some updates for nba 2k9. The game is great, but some players doesn't look like the real ones and portraits also could be better so there is place for me to work. Allright, here is my first patch after long time, Greg Oden face+portrait update!
Previews -Default 2ksports version -

Spaky's updated version -
What I update in Oden's face--) More beard added
-) Realistic forhead
-) Realistic eyebrows
-) Some changes in nose
-) New mustache
-) New hair texture added
My opinions -I'm happy with the result, exspecially because it's my first work for nba 2k9. Portrait's is very fast to create for 2k so you can expect more in the future. Hope you like it and should I release this one?

how exactly do you make these cyberfaces... i have been testing (using my own face) i and i kinda suck
anyways, that greg oden looks really accurate, please try an mj one
Mon Dec 22, 2008 12:12 pm
There's lots of MJs here already. Can you make a Kevin Durant? He looks butt ugly in the game.

Looks much better obviously, but if could make a small change it would be the facial hair starting a little lower under the mouth...
The way it is a bit too high if you compare it to that picture

Great, Spaky! Very clean and detailed cyberface!

Thanks for comments! Glad you guys like it!

Allright here is download link for my Greg Oden's and Mike Bibby's(preview bellow) cyberface and portrait -
http://www.sendspace.com/file/cxbgvmMike Bibby Preview
What I changed in Bibby's face-) Added more hair(current look)
-) Added facial hair
-) Some changes in nose
-) Some changes in forhead
My opinionsCan be better, but in my opinion looks little bit more realistic then 2k's default. I'm thinking more and more about creating MPU 09(Mega portraits update) for 2k9. Is anyone interested on it?

Little Christmas gift to all nba2k9 gamers!

You need texmod to install this patch because iff editor doesn't work for the portraits.

Can U make Lakers, Magic and Raptors portraits next? please
Sat Dec 27, 2008 6:21 am
No problem, wait a bit, probably will be done before Heat vs Bulls game.
Sat Dec 27, 2008 6:25 am
Spaky you want to say that iff editor doesn't work for the portraits?
so all you portraits we need texmod to install your patch? hmmmm....
Sat Dec 27, 2008 7:46 am
Yes you are right. I haven't found any portrait file which is iff format. But I don't think texmod is bad thing, easy to use and you can choose which patches you want when you run the game, you are not replacing any original file so no problems. Personally I really like texmod.

Ok I finished 3 more teams - LA Lakers, Toronto Raptors and Orlando Magic. Result is pretty good in my opinion.
3 Team Portrait Pack

I will release this stuff tomorow.
