Player Cards

blueturf · 10-18-2005, 12:08 AM

Since my interest in my long-standing solo league had began to wane, I figured I would try something new.

Up until now I have created logos for each team as well as many custom stadiums. With the origin-maker I write articles from small-town newspapers reporting on their big-time stars. I also create a head and uniform for each player that makes the all-star team.

Now I have started to make player cards for each player that wins a major individual award. Here are the winners from my most recent season. Any suggestions and comments are welcome.

Dang, sweet. I did some of these but not CGI uniforms. They look great Blueturf!

Cuss · 10-18-2005, 01:34 AM

Superb graphics work.

You do wonderful logos, uniforms and stadiums.

Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

First of all, where did the images come from? They are superb!

Second of all, when I first read the name on the first card, I read it as Nose Hair!!

Terrific work. More please.

The images are just various screen shots of PC and console baseball games that I have collected from around the net. Since I do not have the full version of FaceGen I have to find images that fit the same profile/angle of the headshots I already have.

Then I use the clone stamp tool to erase the website logo and to overwrite the uniform logo so I can add my own.

Here is the original image of the initial card:

I can't believe I have never noticed that before! - I am sure I will see his name that way for the rest of his career. I have a custom name file that I created using my customer database. Here is a card from my favorite name randomly generated from that file.

This is great!

Really great man. If ever you're going to make it available for public, that will be really awesome.

This is an attempt at your idea... Hope you don't mind...

Dark Horse · 10-24-2005, 06:34 PM

Blue Turf those are awesome!

i've been thinking of doing something similiar. But i was gonna' do it the hard way. i wanted to edit uniforms in High Heat, then i could screen capture the players making plays for "baseball cards". But i haven't gotten around to it yet. Editing unis in HH is not easy.
