Edited by: Daedalus II on 19/01/2011 12:37:24 You know when you show info on a ship, in the corner of its picture there is a small eye icon which you can press to bring up a real 3D "preview" model of the ship in a separate window. I'd like this for avatars as well, looking like they do when you create them, movement and all.
How hard can that be to do? The character models must already be in game, and the preview window is obviously already there, must be trivial to load a character model into that window instead of a ship?
I can't think of any way to get more "value" out of the characters before incarna hits. It would be sad to only be able to show a single 2D image of your 3D avatar for so long until incarna is finally released.

Well not quite.
The image you see is actually stored on a webserver run by CCP. So in reality, you would have to make a separate request to the servers for the character info to rebuild a 3D model.
But as for the idea, I'm all for it. I guess as long as you make the user request the info instead of just pushing it out automatically, it might not create that much more stress on the system. -------------------------------- Lord Admiral, Fleet Coordination Coalition |

+1.
Even if the Summer update isn't here yet, now that the characters have 3d models, it only makes sense you would be able to view them in a sort of preview mode, as if you were viewing a ship.

Well not quite.
The model is hopefully already there since we all spent time modelling the damn thing before creating the lol-pics.
Movement won't happen until they are ready for incarna though, they are probably still working on making it lifelike but not too lifelike .. creating human simulacrum's are a pretty daunting task from what I understand.

To clarify I meant idle movement, like they behave when you create them. I've updated the first post to reflect this.
