Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.18 04:49:00 - [1] Edited by: Tres Farmer on 18/12/2010 05:00:44 Edited by: Tres Farmer on 18/12/2010 04:54:53 1) first loading didn't enable the sculpting feature.. had to hit the 'Customization' icon in the top left corner to get the sculpting to work 2) [NEED] option to toggle hair, like clothes 3) eye brows look bit worse than 1st version.. to hard imho, very apparent 4) the 2 colours for hair don't make much sense, and the darker tones have somewhat unexpected results 5) [NEED] export/import option 6) horizontal rolling menus are not smooth, might be just my system (Ati Radeon HD4670 or mouse) To me it seems, the scrolling stops at some choice and no matter how much more you scroll with your mouse-wheel, it won't go any further.. although there is more to the right/left. You have then to pick the next one in the direction you want and can scroll a bit further. 7) [NEED] arms crossed pose (was in 1st version) 8) [NEED] shadow from hairs while posing/taking pictures.. last bit reality is missing there for me 9) using the mouse scrollwheel in the menu on the right causes to zoom in the main window.. very irritating (shouldn't happen!!!) 10) [NEED] intensity regulator for those lights in portrait mode (the left highlight is to strong imho) 11) [NEED] modifiable positions for those high/fill-lights in portrait mode 12) [NEED] lights to respect fixed mater.. light setting 25/36 causes highlights at the underside of the nose.. for this to happen the light would need to travel TROUGH THE HEAD! 13) [NEED] could the final picture creator please get some antialising/blur/noise.. the result looks to much CGI 14) why had the size modificator for the eyes been removed? 15) [WANT] an option to see my char in some room once done (read, until we can really walk around). Just a cubicle will do. PLEASE!!! Rotation of upper body part around a vertical axis in portrait mode is nice. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.18 04:58:00 - [2] Originally by: Tek Gold For the sake of everything user-friendly: Stop this annoying head-movement of the char. In a sculpturing-editor with such a sensible scaling, the whole head-movement can destroy whole face-sections. Make a toggle-button for it please. The sculpting isn't reacting to the movement of the head.. it only reacts on your mouses movements. In other words: the relative position of your cursor and the head doesn't matter anything. Though I gotta admit, this time around the head movement is very strong. Was better in first versions. Think the OP mentioned that this time it's to strong. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.18 07:02:00 - [3] Originally by: Verlaine Glariant Originally by: Soden Rah I want to be able to adjust my characters height. It should be an option to specify how tall you are. Quoting something very important. CCP doesn't want just tall/short running around.. Also our pods look all the same and are made for one-size-fits-it-all. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.18 17:49:00 - [4] Originally by: Tub Chil snip glasses. why are all glasses the same? also you can't remove them unless you undo. snip There is a faint 'X' at the right under the respective menu header for glasses.. hover it. This way you can remove hair, pants, etc.. if you click on the respective 'X'. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.18 17:59:00 - [5] Originally by: Orithien Veladorn snip - More clothing options would be welcome, otherwise i suspect everybody's going to hang out with a t-shirt and a sleeveless jacket... snip Wont see mine in those sleeveless jackets.. imho ugly. I rather prefer the sleeveless shirts and some nice, not too shiny jacket.. if at all. I'm impressed by all those comments about the boggly-woggly-scroll-selector-thingy.. I really thought I was the only one having trouble with that, LOL. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.18 18:10:00 - [6] Originally by: Mashie Saldana Ok have messed around a bit further. The female Jin-Mei model has had quite a change, the old Dominique can no longer be recreated. This was as close as I could get. snip Imho your new Dominique lacks: - wider cheeks - wider pupils - more curved nose ridge (check from side, might need to pull nose tip out) - slightly smaller nose ridge - the old eyebrows.. I miss them too for my beauty - fuller lower lip - chin/sides more v-shaped (seen from front) Besides that they changed the lighting options quite a bit. We lost the blue-left/bright-right highlights with the overall bright omni light.. shame PS: might wanna check on those legs again. To me they look quite thin? support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.19 03:38:00 - [7] Originally by: Mashie Saldana Originally by: Tres Farmer snip Thanks for the suggestions, this is the latest attempt. This is about as much v-shape that the new base model permits, also the old pupils are gone as well as the original eye colour. As for the legs, yes they did look a bit skinny so that has been tweaked a bit. That's way better. Looks nearly like the original. Legs.. I'm starting to wish we could have a static walking animation like in one of those tech-vids from CCP. This way we probably could see better how 'realistic' stuff like that would look like. I was turning my beauty around several times yesterday just for the legs. And I think I would like to have an option to adjust shoulder width on those chars. So far you can somewhat make the hips wider/tighter.. but nothing for the shoulders. Another thing I now recognise.. the screenshots taken from the modeller part of the program look better than the portraits taken by EVE. +1 to the idea of animated login main char AND ability to get a '3d preview' in the client, like we have for ships. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.19 04:02:00 - [8] Originally by: Black Dranzer snip I can, however, load up the character model on low shader settings, but then I get a different bug; I can't sculpt. No cursor change, no overlay, nothing. If I didn't know the sculpting feature existed I wouldn't even know it was missing. I tried seeing if the log server had any useful information, but, to spit back a line received with much bile by the community: The logs show nothing. snip Mine did react like that also.. no sculpting would turn up at first. I had to click on the Customization Icon in the top left corner to bring it up. Might wanna try that at least.. @CCP the Eyelashes aren't rendered from both sides. I wondered yesterday why they weren't that apparent any more, now I know. Please switch: render 2-sided on for those textures. And while you're at it, please MAKE HAIR CAUSE SHADOWS. Also for eye colors.. you give us orange and some yellow.. might as well drop the whole rainbow in there. In other words: WTB RED EYES. BLOODY RED. Also most of those small color squares seem to have squat in common with what lands on the char. Brown becomes orange. Some greenisch get's yellow/orange. black makes brown... support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.19 04:24:00 - [9] I think to make them look more older CCP should check out some analysis for sizes of: EARS NOSE EYEBROWS LIPS and realtive position/size to each other, to give us morphing targets, which adjust the mesh when sliding towards old. The freckles/scarring/aging so far just causes the texture to change.. Also we're on Sisi here.. can't you give us some option to go to the extremes with this? Any possibility we could get more extreme settings, like for scars or freckles.. doesn't need to turn up at TQ. Just let us try it out please. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.19 04:49:00 - [10] Hm.. Can you make the doll scratch itself from time to time please? I mean, every minute or so it's making a movement as if it wants to scratch it's behind, but somehow looks undecided if it really should. And can I get a fez hat please? http://img543.imageshack.us/i/fexhat.jpg support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX

Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.20 13:47:00 - [11] Please give us back the option to modify the eye-ball-size.. I'm begging you! support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.21 12:29:00 - [12] Originally by: Breed Love snip Also, I found that most female characters created in this thread have a somewhat *****y look to them, so I made an attempt at making a cute looking one, here is the result: http://i55.tinypic.com/2nhnu6u.jpg ..cute looking boy you got there support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.22 03:29:00 - [13] The right panel of menus always hides some menus, when you open up others. Can you please introduce a VERTICAL sliding panel there? See 3D Studio Max for this kind of menus. It's when I'm putting on clothes I can't have all the clothes options open, cause the rest of the menu for hair, skin, etc. still needs space, although I'm done using them. If the menu would be able to scroll vertically I could have all 5 clothing submenus open. Also, the hair submenu does miss a 'X' for removing the feature as every other submenu has got it. Even toggling the hair would go a long way, as it's the most resource crippling FX we got there, afaik. PS: I still want back the option for adjusting EYE-BALL-SIZE! PPS: expression modification got a shaft this time round. Can't really do anything to the eyes, nose or cheeks. Was better in first iteration of the feature. Most of my chars end up in the neutral position as the only thing that really works is a SAD face.. smiling looks somehow sad too, unless you settle for a really really faint adjustment to the lips. Anything else and it just went downhill. Might be mostly due to the eye/eye-brow part of the expressions.. can't get them not-sad. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.22 03:37:00 - [14] Originally by: Remerac Edit2: just created an alt on TQ and I was shocked how bad the old character creation looks in direct comparison, also I tried constantly dragging something in the face Oh damn, at least I didn't have anything in my mouth to spill.. Still chuckling. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2010.12.22 05:29:00 - [15] Originally by: Moolti Edited by: Moolti on 22/12/2010 05:05:03 I just discovered I can hold the right mouse button to "pan" the camera in creation and portrait mode. (Which opens up some awesome options for portraits). This leads me to suggest some sort of quick blurb on basic controls. Mention your morphing does different things at different camera angles, right click does x, scroll through the options with a flick, etc. We'll need a tutorial covering the char creator.. support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX

I lost my identity. I really don't like it. Sorry Opertone, but you suck at this If I were you I would beg the devs to give us the option to get our avatars remade by others for a price.. your only chance support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX

Tres Farmer Gallente Federation Intelligence Service	Posted - 2011.01.17 16:46:00 - [19] Originally by: PLEX Transporter CCP has said they will allow us to recreate tour chars as they will add more stuff in the char creator so you all that ain't happy just wait a month or two :) ..or 18 runs Btw, that HOLLYWOOD joke up there is hilarious + the accompanying lines still laughing support Public Idea Tracker \| 24hr PLEX
