fixed link to template: http://www.mediafire.com/download/u618m ... ited-1.psd
ok havent seen this techinique used on the forums yet so i might as well post how i got these.
this tutorial is very basic and every new modder should be able to pick it up right away. take any front facing picture of a ball off of the internet. in this case i used this one
you want to make sure that you have a template for the basketball outline already. if you done i have uploaded one. make sure you get rid of everything in the picture except the actual basketball you want to use. By the end of the processes you should have something like this most of the time basketballs wont work and you'll have to edit manually like the Nike elite ball. the lines are to spread apart for the game to comprehend. (ignore the messed up wording. that happened while i was first editing the photo at like 3 am.) in game:
so go back into gimp or in my case photoshop and re-arrange it to match the lines in the template
now all you need to do is make the green texture and your good to go! final previews of the balls:
post your outcomes down below!

For green normal map
In photoshop take your regular texture
then resize it to 512 x 256 (or whatever you need)
Next select Filter > Nvidia tools > Normal Map Filter
A menu will appear, apply these settings (Play around with these to get desired effect)
press ok
texture will look purple
to get green color go to channels and paint red and blue channels all black
then click green channel, select all (ctrl+ A), copy, and paste it to the alpha layer
now click on the RGB channel, it will now be green
play around with contrast and diffrent effect to change how the ball looks in game

can you upload one of your balls with the blanked out stubble/green stubble textures?
p1695509 — by zz21 on Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:26 pm
you mean these?
i actually dont even use these normally XD. im sure it could definitely add to the balls but im a very lazy modder ill give one a try. but i mainly only edit the green normal map and ball texture.

im rendering. its no commentary because its 1 am but i think you can still see whats going on.

Note: I did NOT follow one of the most important instructions. You HAVE to reorder the image to match the template. I didn't do that because it was 2 am and i had things i wanted to do before i fell asleep.

you have to cut it up and re arange it in a way that matches with the template, then in photoshop use the spot healing tool to fix the texture.
