Originally by: Alpha Seitheach Please consider providing more colors for clothes. Now it looks like all pilots shop in the same store stocked with nothing but grey clothes.
Thanks,
Please, PLEASE, read information provided before posting. It has been stated several times by CCP devs that in the future we will be able to obtain/buy/create new clothes in-game and re-customize our portraits with these clothes and accessories.

Originally by: Solo Player Can you please comment on the following:
Will said update (tattoos, piercings et al., including, hopefully, a lot more hairstyle, clothing and colour options) be available before the end of the grace period?
Are you planning said extended customisation options to require micro-transactions?
Is there anything that opposes the option of choosing different portraits for every portrait size?
Thanks.
No. These updates will be in a future expansion (Incarna - when ambulation will be added) at which time you will be able to re-customize your portrait.
Can't speak from anything I've seen, but I'm sure this will be an option. I DID read, however, that we will be able to 'build' clothes from blueprints similar to how we produce ships, etc.
A good idea, but probably bandwidth/storage/rendering issues.

Someone else pointed out that you can't find any two avatars that look alike. Seems so to me, and that's a good thing. Overall it's definitely a step up, and clearly a lot of work went into it.
But I was used to my Achura looking Asian. Now I can't come close. All the skin tones seem Caucasian, the eyes are definitely not Asian, I can't get the cheekbones right, and I can't seem to get rid of this cleft between the eyes that makes it look like the toon had a close encounter with an axe as a child. Ok, well it's not quite that bad, but I've not gotten anything I wanted to finalize.
On the other hand, I felt the same way with the earlier character portrait at first, so maybe I'll get used to being Caucasian. Eventually.

Originally by: Euphoriiia Perhaps before you do this, you should make sure everyone can get into the creator? I still get stuck at 'entering character creator'...
Totally agree!! All this sounds really interesting, but I have no idea what everyone is talking about, because I too would like to create my character BUT CAN'T while I keep getting stuck at '"entering character creator". Somebody fix this please!
My pc still crashes in the character creator, on SiSi worked just fine.

When making the char laughing during the photoshooting, I got some pixel errors under the mouth. In EVE the char should look angry? I realized it to late having all four photoshooting pictures in larger quality in my portraits cache folder on the harddisk for verifying this.
Hopefully this will be fixed before the recustomization. opened also a Bug Report 106007

Thanks for the info CCP and the fix.
I am curious about one thing though. As the portrait is final FIINAAALLL *voice of doom* will the portrait change in the future when we get tattoos and stuff. Or will the tattoos and such only show on the ingame character (not really sure how to call it, but portrait + ingame character sounds...logical...)?
It would feel a bit odd that we are now whining/rambling about stuff being final and then in the future we can monkey around with the portrait as much as we want? So will the monkeying only happen on the 3D-models and NOT on the portrait?

Thank you CCP for letting us our chance to recustomize our characters ! I admit that i messed up particularly well the redesign of my main character and in haste of testing new features, i saved my work without thinking it would be definitive. Besides I post on the forums with my alt character's avatar, which looks already better ______________________________ Sorry for my unperfect english |

Never know, it might be at 512x512. It might only be a few lines of code to change. Then again on the other hand, it might not be. Time shall tell either way.

With your portrait I would only moan about gravity...takes a toll...

Originally by: Akaylah Lafisques Excellent news.
I have another suggestion. When you are taking your portraits, You should be able to see what those portraits look like in the sizes that will be used in game. I chose a pose that looked good when looking at it in it's larger form, but it the tiny size most of us see on a regular basis it doesn't look good at all.
This.
A confirmation screen with all portrait sizes for us to check would be better. My character also suffers from a poor quality small pic.

What if you have a character account that is suspended at the moment? Will you be given an oportunity to recreate after the "grace period," or will you be defaulted to a random?

Originally by: CCP Caedmon As for the undo bar, AKA the history slider, it wasnŠt quite ready to be released. We plan to get it back into the character creator soon.
Yay! for that. Since you frequently end up altering say a width instead of a height it's a very welcome function.
Also my vote for a bigger preview image.

I have to agree.....
While I thought the creator was amazing and prodiced very realistic results.... there was a HUGE LACK of sci-fi stuff... For example Wild Hair styles - (as pointed out above) Facial jewlery - one of my alts used to have chrome stripes on his face Tatoos and face paint - as shown above Sci-Fi clothes - all i saw i could probably buy in my local mall. Glasses - REALLY? one style, from the late 1980s... thats it? And many other things....
For WIS to work, people need to feel like the whole look of their character is unique. That means you need to provide a lot of options in all areas.... as it stands I recon 5% of the eve population is probably wearing the same jacket as me. ------------------------ Jint Hikaru - Miner / Salvager / Explorer / SpaceBum "I've got a couple of Strippers on my ship... and they just love to dance!" ------------------------ |

The "grace period" mean, players can decide 'not' to recreate their character at this very moment, this explains why some people still have a silhouette in-game and not a normal portait. After the "grace period" has ended, players are required to recreate their character, if one denies, you can't enter the game anymore, it will not default you to the default character of your race and bloodline, it simply means you can not enter the game without a new portait anymore (a choice you can currently still make).

In the description was something like this: If you login after the grace period you will be forced to change your portrait.
Therefore you won't have a portrait for that character and you can't login into game without choose a new portrait.
Hmmm ... too late

I really wish it was a reset button in the posture screen, would make it so much easier to undo bad posing.
Also having all the various thumbnail sizes show up in the final confirmation would be great (64x64, 128x128, 200x200, 256x256 and 512x512).

You can preview your portrait after you've taken the snapshot. You need to alt-tab to your cache, under the pictures/portraits directory and you'll see portraitsnapshot_0.jpg, portraitsnspshot_1.jpg etc in the directory. They are pretty big, and not squeezed into those ridiculous thumbnails in the character creator. You can see all kinds of blemishes which you can't see in the creator, and keep adjusting until you get what you want. Doesn't mean that you can - my Civire alt keeps having these eyelash nightmares - but at least you'll not save thinking you have something nice and being nastily surprised when you return to the character selection screen.

Honestly, players should be able to go in and change their snapshot anytime. It is just a picture of your character.
And to be really honest, after seeing how often my own daughter changes her "look", everything, other than the physical attributes that you modify by clicking and dragging, should be modifiable....such as makeup, hair color/length, clothes, etc., to reflect your (player or pilot's) mood.
One thing I would like to see added is to make it easier to smile, frown, wink, look flirtatious, etc., for your portrait. Right now, smiles look rather forced when you try them.
And another thing that rather irritates me, is there is a definite lack of the ability to instill valid "hotness" in your characters....all of the females have a distinct manliness, which perhaps subconsciously/consciously reflects the fact that most females are played by males, but I would much rather import a portrait of someone that I envision more closely resembles the image of the pilot that I have in my own mind, than be stuck with a mannish looking pilot. -------------------

What about hair? When are we going to be able to chose long hair, customize the length, and maybe it's style. Can I refuse to create an avatar, maybe petition so that my actual avatar remains this faceless shadow until I have the option to make it the way it was with the old character? |

Thank you CCP for the update. I'm a little disappointed that current character customization options are race/bloodline limited. I'm more comfortable making a customization that I will not be happy with in some cases now that I know I will get the option to re-customize later.

Edited by: Xzal Firentii on 20/01/2011 13:25:02 Initially I was a little disappointed with the Carbon Creator. The ? in the bottom left does provide most information you need, but the creator doesnt really inform you of what can be done on each section.
I think quite a few of us got to the Photo Section, set light a pose and was done there without even having any indication we could alter facial expressions, or head/should orientation.
Although now that I have fiddled with it a little more it is a very good creator. Have a look below :3
Pre-Carbon : http://oldportraits.eveonline.com/Character/90184823_256.jpg Post-Carbon: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/5271/firentiicarbonized.jpg
The post Carbon is unfortunately just a draft as my current avatar over there (<) was drawn up first and mistakenly accepted. The post carbon is the intended design and as you can see they are remarkably similar with the carbonized one just missing the Visor.

I don't know if there are issues related to new char. creation have been posted yet but I'm having troubles. When I click on my character and then should enter character creation, windows crashes and I have to restart my pc.
Any idea how this can happen? (Eve is not installed on my local hard disk but on an ext. one)
kind regards and thanks

Good tips! Thanks! :) Maybe now I can find a snapshot that will take care of the clipping errors in my hair. --
