HTFU
Actually its a pain in the backside trying to sculpt or pose a face thats a moving target. And also puts un-needed load on people's grafix cards, especially at the low end/on laptops. Which is why I (and others) have sugested that moving charachters be an option you can turn on and off and/or for the avatars to stop moving whilest you try to sculpt them.
It's not an unreasonable request and deserves a better and politer responce than HTFU. Sugesting this feature be optional thus pleasing those who like it AND those that don't at the same time rather than simply insulting the op might have shown more thought.
And for reference My grfx card handels it fine and I still don't like this feature.
EDIT: an on a similar note, I have on a number of occasions try out the char creator have sculpted the avatar to what looked reasonable (with no clothes on) then put clothes on and decided that in retrospect (for example) the breasts that looked tiny on the 6 inch nude model were actually massively oversized when I put clothes on it. whilest you can sculpt with clothes on I did kinda want an option to flick from nude to fully clothed and back again without going through the whole selecting wardobe buisness. So I ask for a 'make clothing invisible' on off switch.

excuse me but my 2 year old laptop runs sm4 and it only cost me 1,200$
A modern laptop for 500$ would run the character creator at full fps easy once it's finished.

Supported. I think it happened to me the first time I tried the system, and it is especially annoying with the dial system. A simple on/off switch would make things so much more convenient, if you choose your clothes before starting or finishing sculpting.

Hey if you guys want to be awesome, you'll enable it tomorrow, so we got something to do during patch day.
Also I want to start a new alt account but I'd want to base the decision on the looks of the new creator, rather than on the old looks... so how does an additional 15 bucks a month sound?

You're partly right. There's a grace period when this goes live. You can log in with the old portrait as a new portrait in black. After several weeks you will be obliged to remake your character afaik. That's what i got of it anyways...

Just to add to this. If you don't make a new avatar during that grace period, the game will press the randomize button and there is your new avatar. There won't be missing avatars/old avatars after that grace period in any shape or form. Having an avatar you liked ruined by an automated avatar generator isn't a good business move though, so CCP will likely give people who weren't active at the time a chance to remake their avatar at login or by ingame means at a later date(Incarna).

so rather than let the peopel who dont give a crap about this a blank face or let them keep there old ones. they are going to redo them for everyone? i really do think that they shoudl implemnet a system that can pull from our current face choices and redo them in the new system. then apon log in we can shake it up a little if we want or leave it untouched and log in.

This has been said often and ccp's responce is its too technically challenging to make an automated script to do it. If you really don't care how your avatar looks then do you really want to suggest they embark on a long time consumeing technically chalenging exercise in makeing an automated avatar copying program, in addition to all the work they will have to do to create a charachter creation system and the rest of incarna... or do you want to let them work on other things you do care about?
If this really is an issue, it should be fairly easy (as their will be a crossover period where some people have the new avatars and some the old) to be able to have it as an option to keep your old char portrait, and only need to remodel your full 3d avatar for walking in stations.
you could even have it so that you kept the old portraits (some have great sentimental value) and added in the new one and you could choose which you wanted to dispay.
I understand that ccp wants to make them all shiny and new but some people have evidently gotten really attatched to the old. as keeping around the old char portraits is codeing and storage wise pretty easy, I would say that a compramise where everyone has the option to keep and use their old portrait for chat channels and out game forums, and you make people remodel their full body avatars just in time for incarna. (also unless the charachter creation system gets a lot better before this comming expansion an option to (for free) re-redo your full body avatar (and portrait) when incarna comes out with all the new features everyone's been demanding since the upcoming expansion till then.
Anyhow awaiting charachter creation thread 3. Without Dials please! (or at least a detailed explanation of what you will be replaceing them with in the next itteration and why you thought they were a good idea in the first place)

my shader was set to high.
I only got sisi working a little before it switched back to testing patches for tyranis, but I did get to play with it a little bit before it did.
two main complaints: 1.) no undo, I know they're already working on that, but it's the most major problem with the system as it is, so it deserves mention anyway. 2.) too hard to figure out exactly how to go about getting the result you want...IE, you want to make the nose longer/shorter/whatever...as it stands I made the exact same changes a dozen times and never got the same result twice. I think a simple axis system simular to the ones on the probes when scanning would make it much easier to reach the desired result... that said, I haven't the faintest clue what would actually be involved in implimenting such a system, and if it hit TQ as is, I'd still consider it a vast improvement over the current system
yes, I'm posting on an alt. I prefer my stupidity not be directly linked to my corp |

Now that I have my new Video Card, I'm anxious for when the next version of the creator hits SiSi - my old 7800GTX wasn't handling things that well.
One thing that I was thinking about... how is our old avatar stored in the game? I'm fairly certain that once our portrait was created, it was saved as a 2D Image and all of the 3D data to create that image is lost. Thus, the difficulty in trying to re-convert that to a 3D Image. I can think of one or two ways that this could be accomplished relatively easily, but would be extremely CPU intensive and very time consuming per portrait.
The fact that there is no plans to have a portrait of our old character is puzzling, as it's extremely easy to just have a second window open with a high-resolution portrait of our character. Sounds to me like they will be purging all portrait data from the system entirely. --- If you've read something I posted and want to contact me, EVE-Mail me, or contact me via EVE Gate. |

No
Besides devs stated that "it's gonna be cool! now we'll have static picture and there won't be a need for a client to re-render portraits".
Plus failbook rendered portraits for 3 days (and then about a week "fixed" some of them).

I have not got a chance to try out the charecter creation but judging from some of the youtube videos it looks like the Amarr does not have that cool roman like feather like hairstyle thats you know bald but with like two puffs of hair sticking out on each side. I think you should include most of the hairstyles from the base game so that its possible to somewhat recreate your look in the game. Oh well looking good!
I really think they should be away to view a players look in 3D in the game maybe not in chat view that would take up much resources but say when you click on a charterers profile maybe a way to view them in 3d or something (like you can with ships)
and i hope they include more clothes/hair options in future updates in fact some possible way of a more detailed clothing designer might be fun as for example for shops in stations maybe create a toolset or something but they might have to be preapproved maybe a user based voting system or something i dont know.
some form of player generated content such as clothings could be a fun idea down the road
think of like Second Life it has so many clothing and charecter options and social aspects. i think some of that idea can be brought to the world of Eve too.
Lets hope stations will be given more and more options over time like more furnature options club options etc :-)
its only the start! Please whatever you do dont just make the 3d full charecters and walking in stations be a little gimmic Make it alive!

I hope it will be like that. The new expansion will already be launched within a few weeks, there's no news that the new editor will have full options and a user-friendly interface by then. We also haven't seen all the "WiP" options either.
There's been a lot of feedback from the player population and I don't think they have enough time to adjust the character editor accoriding to all the wishes and bug reports. At best we get an improved beta version but I wouldn't bet on it that it will be smooth and polished in a few weeks from now.
I hope that they're not rushing the whole thing - giving us the limited editor now and give us the option to remake our portraits (again) in half a year when Incarna (hopefully) gets released in full glory seems to be CCP's best option imo.

knowing ccp, I am sure they will consider these issues because they are just damn obvious. It is still work in progress and I don't think they will simplify the looks of characters by just not giving enough options for looks. It would be a bad idea to end up having a character that looks worse than what we have now. It's still work in progress and I don't mind it coming out with limited options. But if they patch more options then I hope we won't have to pay to create a new portrait or look just to use them. That would be totally gay!

They have 2 options.
- A. Release it.
- B. Delay it.
I don't think they'll choose option B, so welcome to months of creation nightmares.

Edited by: Grideris on 11/11/2010 16:48:53 Wow. This feels completely different.
Good call on throwing out the old wheel and replacing it with pictures with numbers. Just I can not get the colour picker to work.
Also, when using the photo mode, the area that you are adjusting does get highlighted. This resulted in me stabbing around trying to catch some area that I can change. However, I must add, when I did get an area, the control felt better than before. Also, I can now smile!
Also, Awesome glasses are awesome. Need more.
EDIT: Noticed with full smile (both sides of the mouth at max height) the bottom of the lip seems to clip through just above the chin.

Using high shader, simulated hair & cloth, high textures, AAx4. Club 3D Radeon HD 4870 OC, 1024MB, PCI-E, Drivers from 28.9.2010 version 8.782.0.0. Shader model 4.1 capable.
Tried the character creator after installing the new patch (the first with the incursion splash screen). Trying to model this character. Clicking any of the bars like musculature, aging or colour doesn't do a thing, neither does dragging. It assumes that I want to roll the selection carousel. Hair 6/24 made the character model disappear entirely. Switching to 7/24 from it displays just the default bald but going back from 8/24 shows #7 correctly.

I can't seem to change any colors or sliders in the options. I made a minmatar sebestor. I had to randomize to get the results I wanted for the age/freckles thing. Also, some of the shirts cause the character to diappear or lose his middle. Overall I like the creator alot but it needs more hair styles and more clothing options. The best thing about it was being able to set up a perfect pose for the portrait, I really got to spend some time making my guy, the setting him up right for his photo, being able to mould his face into the expression I want was sweet.
big things to fix: More variety in hair/pants/sunglasses and fix the various bugs that make the character disappear. Fix the option to change the color and the sliders for certain things
things that are great: the moulding of the character by clinking and moving the body part around works great, that was my favorite single feature. it could use a few fix ups here and there but it is the most interesting thing about what the creator has to offer.
I played APB for a while, and it had THE BEST character customization of any game I've ever played. EVE's new character customization is very close to being that good, and I'm sure when its finished will rival or better APB's, which is no small task. The only thing APB has on this character customizer is that they could put emblems on clothing however they wanted, which was great because you could take a boring t-shirt and make it however you want. I don't expect EVE to do this, but that would be amazing if it was included. GJ CCP, keep it up!
