The fact that this video has 5 times as many views as your sub-count is indicative of how helpful it is, but also criminal. You deserve way more subs, man. Thanks for the video and especially the fantastic template! My first texture in that template turned out better than any face texture attempt I've ever done in the past.
I'm still playing 2K19 in 2020. I just wanted to thank you, Defract, for this tutorial and your face template guide. I've been using it since 2K18 and I must say, it's been a real game changer. After a couple years of practice I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. Hopefully in the future 2K decide to make it a little more user friendly for those without a background in image editing. I do enjoy the challenge though, but I can imagine that it's not everyone's cup of tea. Anyway, just wanted to thank you again. Cheers mate.
Excellent video - i'm going to start preparing some face textures soon for 2K19. Another quick tip - if the image you use isn't symmetrical (ie. they have hair covering their forehead on one side), duplicate the clearer side of their face and flip it horizontally, then line it it up. Works well.
Thanks for the readymade face texture template tip? i don't know why i didn't think of it before. All these years, i actually created those from scratch by using front and side pics.
I can say without a doubt this works for 2K20 as well, but you will want to experiment with other ideas as well. After realizing what I was doing wrong, I think most of my CAWs designs look a bit better than before.
Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling literally for multiple hours already getting a good photo and editing my character but there always was just something off. The combination of the video and your psd file has helped so much and i wish I found it earlier! :)
You need to delete the eyeballs from the final product using the polygonal tool or it will show up even if ever so slightly. Then save as a png for transparency.
I am not good at photo editing software. I am trying to make a CAW face of British actor Samuel Anderson but not having any luck at. I am trying to do one of these faces on GIMP but it's not coming out right.
Defract, can you help me? The combination of my CPU and my ability just can't manage to get this right. I'm an independent wrestler trying to get my face texture right. Could you provide an assist for me with this?
Thanks for sharing this valuable informational video and the added tools. This goes a long way in helping your fellow creators. Again, much appreciated! Liked and subscribed. I have a quick question: Do you have any tips for lining up the nostrils on the in-game model? For some reason, I can never seem to get that right. The area that should be shaded is either too light, or the nostrils simply don't line up properly with the model's nose. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated.
This is gonna sound like a dumb question....but what are the best dimensions for pictures to make sure everything fits the face a s perfectly as possible?
Would've loved to see a tutorial on how to remake your fantastic Jericho. I really wanna use it in My Career But it ended up looking slightly off somehow. The head always comes out looking too big. This is why I miss last gen for remaking caws sometimes. Nevetheless keep up the amazing work!
Man I didn't know that you have a TH-cam channel wow. Then downloading your caws since PS3 I wish that you would jump on the Xbox One and make some caws on that one
Very helpful video, thank you so much! Only thing I would change was that at the end, it would have been nice to see the Adam Cole face texture in the game, just to get a feel of how your editing has helped.

Thanks man!!! This video is CLUTCH!
@TNM Albert Damn😂
Awesome to see you working on CAWs and helping other creators out as well. Thanks for the tips. Also, thanks for the link to PSD’s new link.

You’re caws are my number one favorite on PS4 community creations especially the Kenny omega caw
This really helps regardless of not having a computer connected to my tv and xbox one.
Your CAWS are some of the best on WWE Games, my only problem is the move sets are not always the best but the CAW itself mostly looks perfect
This video really help, can you do "How to improve your body textures" next?
I can say without a doubt this works for 2K20 as well, but you will want to experiment with other ideas as well. After realizing what I was doing wrong, I think most of my CAWs designs look a bit better than before.
Your face texture template helped me lots with my face shape issues. Thanks, Defract.
Great Video DEFRACT !
Thank you so much for this. I've been struggling literally for multiple hours already getting a good photo and editing my character but there always was just something off.
The combination of the video and your psd file has helped so much and i wish I found it earlier! :)
Close i could get to photoshop is CS2 but should be more of the same tools, thanks Defract!
Amazing tutorial! You taught me some great stuff that'll definitely come in handy with my OC CAWs next time I make one. Thanks a lot man.
Hugg Niceman thanks man. Glad to help!
My face caws were great but the high pass option made it a perfect 10!! Cheers

You should make one on attires
Absolutely buddy, lot's planned for the next few months!
Born2Last faces are harder then attires tho

Defract CAWs yeah, right
Vinicius Tavares Still waiting. xd
Uh the face part in Tools is gone -_-
WWE 2k18 seems like the best looking wrestling game
One of the reasons why I still play it.
@@dagameplayer my man 👊😎 that's what I'm talking about yea!
So helpful man. Definitely gonna fix up some of my OCs with this.
with 2k22 dropping soon i had to revisit this video so that i could refresh my mind on how to make face scans
i always use full body textures front sides and back for the most hyper realistic look
I am not good at photo editing software. I am trying to make a CAW face of British actor Samuel Anderson but not having any luck at. I am trying to do one of these faces on GIMP but it's not coming out right.
can you make a pdn file for the face texture template btw pdn is for paint.net
My caw looks so much better now. Thank you so much for this vid! Could you make a vid on creating good attires?
Man what a great tutorial, thank you so much!
I Did This Thanks It Help A Lot I Recommended this video to my subs if they wanted to make a good face in wwe 2k18
so now that the servers are offline for the old games is it just impossible to use face textures?
does this work with women caws as well?
CAW Creator yes
You make the greatest caws, better than anyones elses
Show the Stream ryee is kinda better
They are both great, for example ryeedee´s Marty Scurll is way better than Defract´s , meanwhile Defract´s Cody is way better than Ryeedee´s Cody
Defract, can you help me? The combination of my CPU and my ability just can't manage to get this right. I'm an independent wrestler trying to get my face texture right. Could you provide an assist for me with this?
Thanks for this man! I'm definitely going to try and put these tips to use.
really helpful and concise! you earned a sub!
I use the logo of Carl Brooks of one of my caws
Can you do a video on how to get logos for attires
Does this still applies to 2k19?
Perfect video, love all your'e caws, i like so much Carl Brooks!
Is there anything i can do to make a caw request i mean ill pay money if you want
You need to do a full video . Ur video is amazing
hey defract, love your caws man. you ever think there’s gonna be a Lio Rush Caw coming soon?
Great vid...but the easy way i would improve the face scan...I would use the logos(the squares and the circles) and I would blend it with the face.
Will these work with 2K20? I’m on PC and making a twitch follower CAW universe and I have people sending me their face photos to add

Very helpful video, thank you so much! Only thing I would change was that at the end, it would have been nice to see the Adam Cole face texture in the game, just to get a feel of how your editing has helped.
Alex Aaaah well... That's the next video 😅
Defract, if you still see this vid, I am having issues matching up. Do I match face to template or template to face? I'm using your template btw
I’m assuming this is only for Pc?
is this the same for the women??? if not could you please make a female version as that is what i really need
I don't have the tools or knowledge to do this 😭 can someone please do this for Stephen Amel from Arrow? Not with the mask! Just his face!
Wish that Kenny Omega can was on PC man. Shit looks good!
That's because there's nobody trying to make masterpieces on pc.
It's up to us.
Is it even virus free when downloading the software??? Bc i aint trying to get viruses on my laptop lol
How do you do this in Gimp or Paint.net?
Very helpful! Any tips on textures for African Americans/. I find a lot of lighting pictures with only half lit faces. (Ex. UFC/MMA fighters))
How much would you charge to do this for someone?
Nice Vid!
