Re: NBA 2k15 Face mapping Tech ?

Ronnie2K looks so bored lol

You probably have to be expressionless. I just hope my face matches one of the skin tones available lol Ronnie's face looked darker than his body in the video.. But screw it I'm not complaining. This is something more video games need to take advantage of.

Not only the sports world, but imagine playing an open world game as yourself!

I have a Kinect already with xbone, but since my friends have ps4s I'm getting 2k15 for my ps4.. And running to the nearest bestbuy to purchase the ps4 camera lol

Edit: I wonder if you can hold a photo up to trick it into thinking its a person.. Should see some funny results. Lol like what if I wear a mask?

Man I hope the results are just like Ronnie's.. It's basically spot on like the player faces..

Re: NBA 2k15 Face mapping Tech ?

Yep, that may be the small difference between PC and consoles they were talking about last week.

I guess they figured that the PC version we can mod ourselves in....too bad I don't have modding skills..

I looked up the PS4 cam when I first bought the system...that has to be the most sought after little tech...it was not available anywhere...

its finally available on amazon

Re: NBA 2k15 Face mapping Tech ?

guys I think this is also showing the new CAP system...if you look and pause it at 48 seconds

Vitals
Scan your face
Straight on sculpting
Profile Sculpting
Features
Hair
Facial Hair
Complete

If the creating the head process looks like when the head is getting scanned then we have a real deep CAP system.

Hmm maybe this is the thing that they were talking about on difference on PC vs PS4/XB1. Well imo i hope it's not it but if it is no biggie [ for me atleast] as long as for me we get everything the ps4 and xb1 feature wise besides this technology this year then i'm good. maybe next year or future nba 2k title.

Re: NBA 2k15 Face mapping Tech ?

Whelp, guess I finally have a reason to turn my useless Kinect back on. This is great news, though. I'm not even into the MyCareer type modes, but this looks too sleek to pass up on. If this tech is available for the regular CAP then I expect to see some of my all time favorites this year. Kudos, 2K!!!

Re: NBA 2k15 Face mapping Tech ?

Jeff Thomas said that the other 2k games creators were excited about this. I'm going to bet that this face tech will be available for WWE2k15...

Dangit. Was really excited about doing so then I realized that this is the missing feature on PC.
Hopefully I can make myself look realistically using 'sculpture' thing.

Re: NBA 2K15 Introduces Stay in Your Face Technology, Scan Your Face, Bring it into G

Not sure if this was supposed to be some kind of secret for later in the day. The Associated Press just moved a story on it. That means every outlet will be reporting it ASAP:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "NBA 2K15" is angling for a slam dunk with an innovative new feature that allows players to put their game faces on.
The developers of the interactive basketball game are adding the option for gamers to digitally graft lifelike 3D renditions of their faces onto virtual players in the series' latest installment, set for release on Oct. 7.
The process uses the cameras for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One game consoles to amass several angles of gamers' faces. It then renders photorealistic 3D models on screen that can be tweaked and placed onto the bodies of virtual players in the game's career and online modes.
The face mapping marks the latest effort by a game creator to add virtual representations of players in a game.

Cool stuff and I'm happy it's in the game, but it's a feature I will never use.

I wonder if we could use this and scan pictures of Legends from computer and create the ones missing from rosters or even create new teams.
