0raven0	Posted - 2007.01.25 20:28:00 - [1] Will the character portrait creator be redesigned for better graphics/realism or will it stay the same. What you guys think should happen? I think it should be redesigned and we all get a chance to either redo our character portraits with the new engine or all our portraits are just upgraded to look better.

0raven0	Posted - 2007.01.25 22:10:00 - [3] Originally by: t0rfiFrans Walking in stations will bring next-gen characters / avatars to EVE and they will replace the ones that you have now. You will most likely have to define your character look again from scratch, as the new character rendering system is very different from the old character rendering system. The new system relies more on normal maps and skeletal deformation rather than morph shapes, as it is an animation system that supports rendering multiple characters in high-detailed environments at the same time. I know many people have become very emotionally attached to their portraits, so we will try to make it possible for you to clothe and decorate your new character so that they look similar to the old ones, but as this is an evolutional step in both detail and overall quality, some wierd costumes, hairstyles and dodgy frowns will probably not be reproducable. And yes, the Amarrs will be able to wear robes that cover their face... As for release dates... I can't provide you with those yet :( Hope that clears things up Torfi Thanks for the reply, NEW AVATARS 4TW!!!! I hate my portrait...

In the spirit of "starting over", etc... Bad idea, Hippo might be back. We love you really Hippo Whoa, someone tell me what happened to hippo. I left the forums back in June and only came back last week. Where has hippo gone? He wasn't like drunk or something and misspelled a curse word allowing it to appear on the forums did he?

You're obviously overlooking the biggest benefit .... Exotic Dancers. You know, that would be wicked if they actually allowed you to have exotic dancers in your hangar and have like partys in your hangar and invite all your friends. Uh oh, feels like sims(which i've never played).
0raven0	Posted - 2007.01.27 00:26:00 - [6] Originally by: Admus Does "starting from scratch" mean creating a toon that can be a different race or bloodline from your original? Yes, I was one of those many, many individuals that decided on achura after being told that charisma was crap. I didn't choose achura for the looks, but the keen starting attributes. I regret my choice, and I regret the 3 whole charisma I started with, but 6 months into the game, I figure there's no turning back. Maybe I'll get an alt. In any case, my point is that I'd like to choose a portrait completely different than the one I have now; say, a Sebiestor guy. I would still be caldari, I'd just looks like some escapee from an amarrian gulag someplace. First off charisma does suck, second you can change your avatar right now. It costs 10 bucks and is on the part of the website that the character transfer page is on. All you have to do is create a new character(I think from whichever race/bloodline you want) and create his portrait the way you want. then log onto this website and go the "My account" page, then the "Account Services" Page, then finally the "Swap Character Portrait" page. Fill in the info and select the character you want to switch portraits with. It costs $10 though so beware.
