Computer Generated Coaches Portraits

[NCAAhoops]

Wanted to throw this out there and see if there is enough interest to make this a mod to download and add more coaches. I made some computer generated coach faces for my personal association. When I started I was only going to do the coaches in the conference I play (AAC) and the top 4 or 5 coaches in the league like coach K, Roy Williams, Bill Self, John Calipari and a few others. The next thing I know I've done 57 faces! (got on a roll). While they are not perfect they do match the style used by the game which makes them fit in very well and they look like the real life coach.
I do not plan to add them to the the mod as some people use real coaches pictures and I do not want to overwrite them on those folks but I could make a separate download then you could choose to add them to the game if you wish.

If there enough posts showing interest I'll release and add more coaches for future releases.
All coaches in the American Athletic, Atlantic Coast, and Southeastern Conferences are done. Most of the Big 12 and then top coaches scattered among the other conferences are mixed in like Mark Few at Gonzaga and Jay Wright at Villanova.

Here is a link to a picture of the coaches I have completed and how they look.

Those are good. Would prefer that they just be the faces so we could choose the "clothes".

I started with it that way but ran into these issues.

1. You have to load each coach into the game yourself as the game doesn't know who's who and you would have to do this every time you start a new association.
2. The game used those faces/torso's for generated coaches so you ended up with a lot of other coaches looking like the real ones- in other words a lot of duplicates.
3. Tried naming them the coaches names to make it easy to find them and load them in and then the game would not use them in generation of new coaches and I got a lot of Default (No face shadow) pictures for game generated coach pictures and don't know why.

So unfortunately this was the only way I could make them work without issues and a lot of users having to load them into their associations themselves which was a pain for over 50 coaches.
If anyone knows another way then I would be happy to give it a try. Right now they will appear on install and work. But your right you cannot change the suit. I wish I could so when they change teams you could change them yourself.

Right now I could produce an installer to put them in and they would work in any association with real coaches names, new or ongoing without anyone having to do anything else to make them work .

Do you have just the faces? If so, could we just up those in a "mod folder" and then use one when creating a new coach...and give that new coach whatever clothes we want?
