The belts are a little unusual, ones with nothing in the big center area have the itemMask set to that shape, so you can position Insignia or other items to fill it without the edges bleeding over.

On the masks, this is just a basic starter set. I don’t know the world of wrestling all that well, but I included a few blank masks with the eyes/nose/mouth holes cut out so you can mask other items onto it to get the custom look you want, hopefully.

Enjoy!

The post HM3 Sunday SMACKDOWN! New Wrestling items! appeared first on HeroMachine Character Portrait Creator.

Should I be adding seams to make them more realistic? Come up with a set of x patterns (the yellow area shapes) that get repeated across different eye/nose/mouth shapes? Make a blank overall head/mask pattern, then add individual eye/nose/mouth shapes that you could apply the skin color to, then mask eyes/noses/mouths to from their sets? Add shading for that interior head color on all items (the yellow area on that first example)? Ears or no ears?! I’m floundering!

I really don’t know where to go from here. I also haven’t found a great image reference for these so I don’t know what kinds of designs are useful.

Help?

The post The HM3 Item Request List appeared first on HeroMachine Character Portrait Creator.

The import ignored all that and made them all solid, which had … less than desirable results.

I’ve pushed a bunch of fixes, though, so hopefully things should look more like you’d expect. Here’s one before image of a fantasy armor top:

You can see black areas between the middle part, on the outer edges under the armpits, and the stripes along the stomach outer edges. You might think that looks fine, and it probably does, but it’s not how it looked in the original Flash version. After the fix, here’s that same item:

Here you can see the same areas are semi-transparent overlays instead of solid blacks, allowing the undercolor to show through. It’s a much more dynamic and nuanced effect and what I intended with the original.

For the detail-oriented among you (which I, clearly, am not or I’d have noticed this before), here’s the complete updated set list:

All Right-side handheld items, gloves, feet, and shoulders were also mirrored
to their Left-side counterparts, bringing the effective total to 372 items
fixed.

Thanks again to the HeroMachiners kind enough to take the time to point out the issues, much appreciated. I am far from perfect and absolutely would have missed all of this if not for your attention and care.
