Face scan

Re: Face scan

I've yet to see a good scan for 2k16, whereas for 2k15 some were pretty decent. Is it a better idea at this point to do the scan in 2k15 and carry it over to 2k16?

I got a great scan after 3 to 4 attempts. Not sure why anyone is having problems.

Re: Face scan

Mine turned out pretty good after two attempts tbh. Had to adjust the skin tone and hair/facial hair options of course, but it's pretty good.

Only had 5,800 reference points and didn't use anything as a background. Literally just looked at the camera with normal room lighting.

That was for X1 btw.

Are you on XB1 or PS4? My PS4 scans are downright laughable, and I haven't seen any good ones on YouTube either.

That does look good. Nothing on my PS4 comes close. Face is completely unrecognizable, tiny and bunched together, and the texture quality is awful too.

Re: Face scan

I keep getting high ref pts but my guy starts with black skin (I'm very light skinned) and my guy looks nothing like me. Well, in a generic way like others have stated. I looked better in last year's game

Re: Face scan

or what EASports did a while back with Madden where you uploaded a portrait type photo online.

This would be beyond incredible for NBA 2K .....

seems like kinect does't need light except for the white tv screen

and there's no way around sculpting... even HD image of your face will look ridiculous if the scull shape, nose, ears are all wrong

the problem is that you need an eye of an artist to be able to sculpt the head properly...

You can adjust the skin tone.

Sad but so true.

Face scan

You can adjust the skin tone.

lol? I know.... .. ..

I'm saying, that when it scans me and says great quality, the result is a black skinned me. I have to change the skin tone afterward.

I'm using a flashlight too, I'm pretty much 2 shades above pale... Yet, every single time, even my white friend when he tried, get a black my player whose skin we have to change.

My question is, why does it make two light skinned guys, black?

This shows me that the quality of face scans have dipped. Everyone's eyes looks the same. There are only 6 skin colors. You can barely adjust your features. Only 6 eyebrow types. Can't adjust the nose profile as much as you should be able to.

The lack of urban style haircuts (or ones that look good) is another issue. They can't just put a caesar or a fade that looks realistic? What about a short goatee? Or a short trimmed beard that takes up more cheek?

My player looks sort of like me, but his eyes are way off and the features are lost when he starts to animate in game. 2k should have just asked us to make expressions for the game. The ones built in are so cringeworthy

Re: Face scan

Took me several tries, but I ended up with a pretty good resemblance of my face with a 'Great' scan and over 10k reference points on PS4. Good amount of lighting in my bedroom, held the PS4 camera about less than a foot from my face looking up at my TV mounted on the wall.

This is what I've been talking about also. The editing options they give us are way too limited.
