Here are the player models for NBA Jam 2002.  I decided to add free-form 
deformations (lattices) to each of the major muscle groups of the body.
This made it easy for the producing artist to customize each person's body
from a small number of actual models.  I also did this on the facial features.
These would then be plugged into the game engine so the player would be able
to completely create his own character.

I was lead on the project and defined the production of the characters.  
There was a caricature drawn (by Karl Hepworth) of each player which I took into Maya.
I then modeled the heads over the drawing, utilizing the lattices I had set up as much
as possible.  I supervised the modeling of the body types (by Joe Percival), then I
added the lattices and customized each character.
