Damn, that is some fine work there guys. Well done

Fantastic work, Stunning work - gret to see this really taking shape

Just to be clear, the one on the right doesn't seem to have any shading applied to it which is why people are saying it looks 2D, whereas the first one is shaded. The one on the right is clearly a higher-quality model.

Nice one.

Thanks, Tom, at last the voice of reason

Yep, Tom's correct. The model on the right is fully lit with no shading, hence the 'flat' look. To be fair these renders are not really giving you guys much to compare, especially in the non-animated pose, but i can tell you first hand after exporting the models into the game that they look really amazing. We just wanted to show you guys some initial fruits of our labour. The new model (on the right) is so smooth and detailed in game...really fantastic...the shading also works much better on them as the models are better constructed, so they really come out looking like modern day models.

IMHO they are better than the EA 07 models. They also look better than the old models when animated due to the better deformation of the geometry. Will have to get you to trust me on these until i can post some in game pix....

cheers,

LM

That's correct, each player has their own unique texture map assigned to them, so the player's face is included in that unique texture map.

more or less !

 

[Cricketdude]

Great work guys!!

I'd trust JK on this! Ive never modded any Cricket07 files, but JK has done both quite a bit, so he's the guru on this topic

 

[DiscoStu76]

Bloody awesome work! One step back, five steps forward

 

[viral1991]

Those models are looking terrific. Good work, LM & JK.

Oh wow I just re read and each player has a unique kit kind of thing. That is absolutely amazing. Now with Tendulkar and his unique helmet, this is seriously going to be the most realistic game ever. I can't wait starting to make patches for it, but I won't need to as you guys will release it the best anyway.

Just on another note, with the stats of people there was an auto stats update through cricinfo for the cricket 07 game. It would be very easy for you guys if there was something like that here.

Actually helmets/hats/caps etc and kneepads will not be unique (at this stage) but everything else will be. Though it wouldn't be that much effort to allow for helmets and kneepads to also be unique. Will definately consider doing i later on.

If anyone can work out how to auto update stats from Cricinfo then i'd be a very happy man

Our stats are held in a simple text file, so it should not be too hard in theory...if anyone is up to the task let me know and ill give you a test stats flat file to try it with...?

be great if you could make it pads and gloves, helmet etc. unique as it would be a lot more realistic with players and their sponsorship deals and stuff
