I follow this thread all the time and I just have to mention that for so many people that request faces, I do want to explain that the hardest part about modding isn't so much the skill involved in sculpting a face, editing ads or textures at a ballpark, or designing uniform fonts, or even logos. It's the sources you need and how to find them in order to make it happen. I'm sure this is why Jed and a lot of the guys who make faces take their time to get a quality face done.

 

Let's get some hi-res sources for these faces rather than throw names in there. If you can find a solid headshot, link that in the thread.

 

The idea is to try to find photos of player faces where:

- The eyes aren't squinting (which is hard if a player is smiling)

- If a player is looking directly at a camera, that's a major plus

- Parts of the face that aren't directly visible like side shots (for facial hair/ears)

 

I'll provide a few guys for example:

 

Xander Bogaerts (1,2)

Ben Zobrist (12)
Trevor Story (1, 2, 3)

there are also too many requests for cyberfaces that have already been made here by other modders as well. Makes me wonder how many people are actually checking the download section before they make a request.

Has nothing to do with faces already made, times change over the years and also the technology and modders finds in improving the details of faces.

I've seen people over the past 8 years make faces better than previous ones, as tools improved etc.

 

Some of the guys Xander for instance does have a couple of versions, but none with the levels of details that Jed is putting out, etc.

 

Maybe star players like him, deserve the star treatment.

 

I got numerous of packs of yours since the game launch, especially for players on teams  that others wouldn't do. And from 2011 to 2020, faces have gotten better, textures have improved and so forth, players age and look completely different etc.

You make good points, but it's good to help those who help us with the faces by providing some source material. I use a combination of Getty Images and Google Images when I'm looking for some reference photos, and MLB's own photos when I have access to them.

I was so happy to see this when I logged in today, unfortunately by the time you release him, I won't be able to use him. Few days ago my gaming PC was fried thanks to a malfunction with the water cooling and power supply. Fried all my drives, motherboard and processor...I lost 4 years of mods, emulators, graphics design work, logos, intros and outros for my YouTube etc.

 

And all 5 drives of games wiped...went from a $2200 PC to a $0 brick.

 

But thanks for doing this and it looks great.
