Does the player look a bit more recognizable at least?

[Tincho18]

Great!! Obviously it isnt perfect but it looks really good, very promising! Keep going please!

[manutoo]

Woh, this is pretty neat !

[rafaelnadal]

Good job!

[sixstringseraph]

A little younger version. Psyched me out a bit playing against this one lol. Manutoo, I really need an option to at least turn off the eyebrows if I can't make custom ones. Also I enlarged the eye textures, made everyone look a lot less seedy eyed haha. Might be the best I can do without putting in a custom mesh. Nole is up next.

Nole. This is as much as I can do, again without hacking into the meshes. A slightly chunkier faced, Italian looking Novak LMAO

sixstringseraph,
young Fed is simply great..!

Djokovic is indeed a bit strange, but already on the good path. However, I think his head is closer to a thin rectangle, rather than to a triangle shape :


I'm not sure it's possible to get that with the Face parameters...

[Fed1]

They're looking pretty great! Hope you can make more and share them!

[sixstringseraph]

I'm not sure it's possible to get that with the Face parameters...

I can confirm it is NOT possible. If only we can talk to the game developers somehow

Yes, some additional face parameters would make this modding 10x better. The ear to ear width is fixed, so either I did the above, or thicken his face, but then he looked even more un-Djokovic like.

Or, just add the option to use custom head meshes (Even if the hairs and bands wouldn't work, I'd bake them in anyway ;P). It is so much easier to make a mesh than to try and fit a texture into a wrong shaped head. I literally can churn 5 heads out in the time it takes me to retexture an existing misshapen head lol. Not to mention it would be 100 times more accurate.
I mean just look at my ready to go Roger mesh.

But since that seems unlikely, if I could edit the head width from ear to ear and/or increase the head height from crown to chin, it would be a lot more better looking. A bunch of them have thinner faces, like Murray, Tsitsipas, Chardy and Gasquet, which will be quite difficult to execute with textures alone. Even Federer, once you turn his head you can see the form is quite off lol. Thankfully it's not noticeable while playing, so I think if there was one that would really be worth having, it's the head shape in general height and width because even when the players are further away, you can tell their head shape.

[Tincho18]

Wow!!! It would be completely amazing if you can use that Roger face, it is very realistic, good job!

[Fed1]

Wow indeed, that Roger face looks insanely good! I hope this level of customization arrives at some point

[noys390]

Wow !! Incredibly realistic

[sixstringseraph]

Okay back to actually working within the game parameters. I've been giving Manutoo headaches asking for so many different customization options, but things are coming along. Here's a beta version of Djokovic wearing the in-game one inch thick hat LMAO. But he is looking better with some tweaks that Manutoo thankfully provided. The fully custom head mesh is still a probably won't happen, but at least we can make the players actually resemble their real life counterparts somewhat.
