Edited by: Corian Teranos on 23/12/2010 17:26:40 i was told that when incarna roles around we will all have to recreate our character portrates. i for one spend alot of time one mine and i know there are alot of people who have unique characters that are important to them and would be nearly impossible to recreate from memory.
since the portrate is rendered from a 3d model as it is i belive ccp should apease the community by sending out a mass email with slider positions and facial geometry for their characters so that they have a place to start when recreating their char for incarna. the data can probibally be extracted
athough if ccp really cared tho they should take some steps to ensure that the origional model is loaded as the base for the new portrate
a character is an extension of the player and i would hate to see wis turn into a identity wipe

actually there are 2 kinds of people those who press random and those who create a custom avatar. but it isn't just my avatar everyone who spends more than 5 minutes in the creator has a unique character

CCP considered making software that would copy the avatars we have now and try to generate something that's the same. The thing is, it would have been a huge amount of work and kind of pointless considering we're perfectly capable as human being to replicate our avatars by ourselves.
That was from a dev blog a while back, not sure which one though.
Anyway they're right, just save the picture of your current avatar from the portait folder, keep it somwhere safe for January and the third Incursion patch. Even if you only have one monitor, just put the game in windowed mode while you make a new character with your old avatar picture at hand.

Well I was wondering similar. There are people who are perfectly happy with their avatar pic. So I can understand the thoughts about getting a scheme to transfer your avatar.
But on the other hand. CCP is packed with work to get this thing done. If you havent seen any support on Sisi there is likely nothing that will help you doing this automatically. The only thing you can do is, get your picture out as good as you can (maybe from account mgmt) and remodel it with this picture so it looks similar.
At least one shouldnt be forced to change it at first opening of the program, which I think is taking care of by showing just a "!" if you dont do it immediately.
Get your picture - think thats the only base youll get.
