Custom Lighting Pack

Postby Santicruyff on Mon May 17, 2021 1:25 am

Hello, today I want to share with everyone something like what I did in a previous 2K, is my custom edition of the lighting of each team, both its arena and its crowd, trying to get as close as possible to reality, although I think it is as reality is currently impossible, but if that comes close, maybe in future 2k that if possible, but first I want to thank and give credit to the true geniuses of this art, the creators of arenas and floors, which make what I bring you today is possible, without them much of what we have in our 2k would not really be as much fun and unmatched immersion in the reality of the environment of an NBA game, but in particular because it is who has been most directly affected my work and who I admire for their ability to effort and talent in everything they have done for this community, rtomb_03, MJ23LB, Looyh and SRT-Lebron, there will also be things from other creators to whom I greatly appreciate their dedication, so remember, this is a custom lighting mod, not floor and sand building mod, hope there is no confusion, the creators I name and many others are the ones taking care of that.
The pack consists of the 30 teams and the City and some Classic versions that this year have been updated in the NBA, In the city and classic versions, there are two ways to use them, one is with the 2k tools of Looyh assigning them the jersey that they use for each floor, and the other that is the one I use, with Jsgme, of which in this other thread of mine viewtopic.php?f=267&t=110756 in the section "Scoreboards update for 2k21" I explain a little how and where to find the way to use it, where you have links to a CujoMatty thread and two TGsoGood videotutorials that will make it very easy to understand how it works. I also want to warn, that the floors are edited by me to work with the full pack of illumination, and if used in another pack I do not ensure that they are very well, if you want the original floors, I recommend that you use the original creators that for that were made, with the idea that they will work in any stadium pack.
You will see that the downloads are quite large, because I converted all the floors to a much higher resolution to improve their reflection, except the ones that already had that resolution. They are in 3 different packs, two for the 30 teams divided, in one that goes from 76ers to Lakers and the other from Magic to Hornets, and in the third pack are the citys and classics.
I hope you like it and you can enjoy it.

Fix brightness players
After reviewing everything, I decided to correct the brightness on the players in six arenas, which are the ones I really saw that needed improvement, the rest I liked the way they were.

viewtopic.php?f=267&t=112163
In these two links you will find almost everything you are looking for, in the second link look towards the end of the thread because some scoreboards have been updated and you will want to have the best possible, what is not there for sure you will find it in the forum because they are the ones that Karinge has done, also I leave here a link so you can have the watermarks that I saw you asked for from Nbc in another thread

I just checked it and it doesn't ask me for any permissions, and I didn't put them that way, it's very strange.

Just tested some of your mods, and they were great man! I have some suggestion anyway, I think it lacks a bit of brightness on the players. the stadium and the floor are totally fine.. just the players, they look a bit dark

No. I don't use reshade with this lighting mod, and I don't recommend it because otherwise you would lose the effect that I wanted to give, although if you want to do it would be for your own personal taste, but even in that case I advise you to try it first without reshade and then decide. I only use it sometimes for some sports TV who broadcasts the match, for example I have noticed that in matches both ESPN and Tnt, its lighting is usually towards a little warmer or red tones, as if they used some filter by default, and only at those times, sometimes I use it as something personal to approach the reality of the sports TV, but otherwise I usually do not use it and I've been testing it for several 2k previous, and I prefer the internal edition of the game lighting.

Yes, in some stadiums it can be, but I preferred that to the brightness of the white parts being unreal or too exaggerated, something that sometimes happens with just a little bit of illumination. In all the stadiums it is not like that, you will see that there are some stadiums where it is a little bit the opposite.

Just looked at it and i agree for it to be perfect some highlights on the players are lacking... Otherwise i LOVE it especially the arena light and floors. Now i tried adding more brightness to the players with a reshade but then it impacts the floors ofcours :) Anyway thanks a lot.

I use a personal one, that I have been joining what I liked the most of several creators and I have been editing what I needed, I leave it here in case someone else wants to try it and tell me what you think.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it so much, if those of you who have seen the players a little dark, you can tell me in which arenas, I can check those arenas, because I know it's not in all, and make the players a little less dark without affecting the floor, nor the arena, nor the public.
