The creator is EASY to use...maybe you like the structured hold your hand gameplay. If you were 'smart' you would see the mouse icon change to a different icon shape as you move your mouse around the face. You also see BIG whole highlighted parts of the face so I cannot see how you mess up.

I actually think the character creator is very powerful. Too bad it cannot capture full body potrait in the potrait screen but it is one of the best character creator that I have ever seen.
Not even WoW's character creator can give you so much details and dimensions.
Plus note is that I was commenting about after taking your own pictures, you would get the mug shots in the small squares on the left and you could not see anything much after that. On clicking finalise, it enters the game screen and if your picture is not right, you will not know it until it is too late because you can see mistakes on the forums. With the new patch, the creator so much better because it actually shows you a large preview of your potrait before committing the finalisation.
How awesome is CCP on that? They go all out just for their players. --------- The making of the new Jenny Spitfire |

No, the creator is not easy to use.
On my machine, the head is blinking lit and unlit at a rate just right to cause epilepsy. When I try to capture, sometimes the thumb image appears lit. It is dark more than lit, and it's darker in the tool than in the image (captured from the character chooser in the Eve login screen).
For this one, after >100 tries, I gave up, and redid it. I reasoned that if only the torso was lit, I would make a portrait emphasizing the torso.
On my machine, and in the creation screens, here is what the portrait looks like 60-70% of the time:
---
After having posted the rant in the OP, I am *slightly* mollified because I now know I don't really have to keep trying several hundred times to get a snapshot where the face isn't dark like I did on my main ...
CCP has a LOT to learn about usability.

Edited by: Venta Vendita on 30/01/2011 04:42:37 The creator requires a pretty good cpu/gpu. Are you creator settings on low or max? whats your comp specs? above portrait looks like its an old portrait not from the new creator.

Well Jenny, I like the character creator but it doesn't hold a candle to even some older games out there. I don't play any other MMOs so I can't say much there, but have a look at TES4 Oblivion, DAO, the Mass Effect duo, the Fallout games and many others and you'll see just how basic this one is.

Oblivion. You mean the game where you instinctively recoil in horror anytime someone talks to you? Face it: CCP has set the bar for character creators. Also, you would need a lot of sliders to really get the same effect.

Looks like your entire character creation consisted of about six mouse clicks. Random morph, random morph, boob slider to max, pose for boobage, light for boobage, take photo.
It's not CCP that sucks. It's your skills as an artist.
This made me laugh so hard a little bit of wee came out
Seriously though it wasn't quite finished, we are waiting for tattoos, scars and so on, and having an complex character creation tool is a bit pointless till incarna hits anyway.

I found it quite easy. It's just that Eve's character creator is designed to weed out stupid people, just like the rest of the game is.

And it is not like its very hard to create something that look decent so the failure is yours entirely, Blasterella.

Sliding bars are so 1990s.
Get a touch screen like everyone else. I play EVE on my iPhone, and I love the interface.

the only ****ty thing about the current char creator is that the character keeps moving while you're editing
The character should only move in "posing" mode, not in editing mode ---- <sig goes here> |

I like it more that way. With the way it moves and and the facial expressions you can see them right away and adjust. Otherwise you'd have to keep jumping back between portrait and full body mode, losing whatever shots you already made in the process.
Also this will be a much better preview once Incarna goes live.
What they need to work on is hair. Longer hair tends to fidget around the shoulders pretty badly.

Whatever floats your boat. Eve wouldn't require that many sliders at all though, really, so I don't see why we can't have them. The creator just gives the illusion to complexity, but really, I'd guess there are maybe 20-30 different glorified sliders hidden within it.
For instance, target the calves. Now move the mouse up. Now move it down. Congratulations, that's the only direction you can change the calves. Same thing with thighs, shoulders/arms, and probably one or 2 more features that I can't think of off the top of my head.
It's just not as insanely complex as everyone is making it out to be, just more annoying to use....

FYI, comparing graphics from a 5 year old game to a brand new character creator doesn't really prove your point in which character creator is functionally better.

If you find the character creater too difficult to use, you would save yourself a lot of headaches if you took it as a hint and just unsubbed right now, because you'll be eaten alive by EVE.
