The Guide[edit]

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:

  • Photoshop/ Gimp
  • Properly working brain
  • Ability to read well and thoroughly

Okay first, open the dds file for the player’s face.

Then create a new layer. Use the brush tool and make your colour 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.

(I just painted half to save time and I’ll just duplicate and flip it after I’m finished, I’ll show you later)

Then go to Filter >> Noise >> Add Noise put this amount

It should now look like this

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

HTMB-7.png

It should look like this

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

HTMB-10.png

It should look like this

Then it’s your turn to experiment with this but since I'm too 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 up with the Curves. Press CTRL+M and so I went on with this settings

So now the beard is looking good.

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

HTMB-16.png

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

HTMB-17.png

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

HTMB-18.png

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.
