Counting to the start of the first closed beta testing of the Russian version of the online role-playing game Black Desert I went not for days, but on the clock. What does any game of this plan begin? Of course, from the creation of the hero. It is time to stop using ready -made models (although they are wonderfully good here) and understand the possibilities of the editor!
There were enough promises and expectations for the “most advanced and outstanding editor”, especially after the promotional rock about the possibilities of configuring the appearance of the characters. However, the ardor had to be modeled from the very beginning: in the test assembly we used, some opportunities have not yet been introduced.
And they will say that there were four of us
The class of the Tamer-Denister Caster has not yet sailed to the Russian-speaking shores, so while we are met by four outstanding persons in all respects to choose from. Armed with two huge dies, a clumsy giant berserker gloomily looks from under dense eyebrows. A valiant warrior with a sword and a shield is chained into brilliant armor. The tips of the long elf elf elf are protruded from blond hair. But the sorceress, on the contrary, is a sultry brunette. They didn’t even give her weapons, all her power is in amulets and … heels, with which she very spectacularly pounds opponents. In this game, the class is attached not only to the race, but so far – to the floor. Only over time they promise to introduce mages male and warlike Valkyrie. Yes, gender and racial discrimination in the game blooms with violent color!
In general, choosing a class, you can start playing immediately. The original appearance settings are not bad here. And if something does not suit, you can change the hairstyle (the choice is still poor) or physiognomy (you will not be particularly fiction with them either). I, in the interests of the investigation, decide that absolutely everything does not suit me. And I begin to inspire Non Stop Casino the works of Korean designers with inspiration.
Poor warrior
The first warrior is toring to my arm. Glorious blond, however, painted. But whether to make him … Channing Tatum! By the way, who is Channing Tatum? And, it doesn’t matter, they say, a model of masculinity. Just what you need for a warrior. Armed with a photo of a star found on the Internet, I rush into battle. And immediately I rest against irresistible circumstances!
Hairstyle. For some strange reason, bald heads and haircuts under the machine in the local Middle Ages were not brought. But strange, in the conditions of there, the choice of the choice is quite practical. You have to limit yourself to shortening what is. How to do it? Recall the editor from All Points Bulletin , who seriously competes for a place on the pedestal of the best editor in the history of the editor even with the game Black Desert. Here we can in the same way with a slider or mouse adjust the length of individual strands. True, not in such volumes: only three sliders are allocated for local hairstyles, and some even two. Moreover, in female hairstyles, these two sliders are often responsible for the left and right side of the haircut.
Then there are eyebrows, stubble, mustache and beards. Choose a suitable option from a set of possible and set up it. You can correct the width and density of the eyebrows, the length of the mustache and beards, finally, flush the antennae to the striping of the sharp -fashioned strip in the last century.
It seems to me that the "Tatum" itself did not like the final result too much – why would he even make such a dissatisfied mine?Surely he was not arranged his ears. Well, what can I do, with the ears in the local editor there is little to do.
And I better try happiness with some lady, preferably beautiful. Charlize Theron!
The class matters
The first potential Charlize was a whitewash blonde. Alas, the bright color of the hair uniting both girls was the only similarity that was achieved by long works.
A set of elven hairstyles is even more conservative than in men. Just long hair in four variations! Curls and curls remained behind the side, and you can only diversify the hairstyle with curls. And besides, very insidious: it is worth a little overdoing, and the hair turns into greased textures. Fortunately, you can start individual strands, leaving others to fall freely.
Alas, the elven pancake also came out lumpy. Seeing herself in the mirror, the newly made "Charlize" became furious and demanded to immediately remove it.
The next appearance of the star fell to try on the sorcerer. And here everything turned out if not perfect, then almost smooth.
One of the "human" faces was originally even a little similar. To make the “astronaut’s wife” did not allow a limited set of hairstyles again. But with such a haircut, real Charlize often appeared in the photographs, you just need to repaint.
It’s very sad to admit this, but in terms of hair coloring, Korean fashion designers are somewhere in an alternative universe, or they simply forgot to say about the realism and medieval concept of the world. Only black and white look more or less natural. Red hair in the game itself is not Titian, but the colors of frantic mango. However, there are always alternatives: blue, green, purple, pink, scarlet … But you can be painted according to the methodology The Sims 3 : separately roots, separately the ends. Only as a palette there was a full color circle, not a strange squeeze.
See the white lines around the head? This is the exact settings of the shape of the hairstyle. It works approximately like anchors in Photoshop: grab the white point and drag. Accordingly, the strand adjacent to the head or rises, as if from the wind, he rinses upward or dies under its own weight. Having highlighted the strand (it becomes green), you can additionally play with the sliders: move it or turn it. Alas, not all hairstyles can be modified beyond recognition.
And now – the most interesting and most difficult. Accurate setting.
The face of our future hero is divided into a bunch of individual areas. Each area can be moved, turned or scale. Big buttons on the left are responsible for the choice of option. All operations are carried out by mouse movements or slider. It is impossible to cancel the last action, so you have to take risks, especially when it comes to the areas of the eyes and lips. The options are limited, but within the movement of the sliders you can expose the bones of the jaws or turn the eyelids inside out. Brr, I will not even show!
A huge number of settings were prepared for the fact that we will see the game less likely in the game – for the eyes. And the truth. Try to consider the color of the pupil of the giant who attacked you in a picturesque clearing! But here you can configure their size and shape-make pupils-stars or hearts. You can choose a pattern of the iris and configure its size – on the entire eyeball or a narrow gap, like lizards. And then, moving the slider of cleanliness, tighten your eyes with a natural underwear. At the same time, you can set up separately: the right eye is red, the left blind.
But finally, the result becomes satisfactory. You can admire your character expressing different emotions. And try on it a variety of outfits, some of which will have to be purchased in a game store.
Forcible Russification
It's time to return to the failed archer and try to do at least something good for her. I must say, the race of elves in the game carries a clear Asian imprint. Whatever the face we choose from the available, we can accurately determine the Korean origin of its owner. Whether it will be possible to "Russify" our elven?
I will say right away, it is very difficult to do it. If you correct the soft tissues of the face, then it is better to change the eye section and especially the eyelids … No, it is better to go with such tasks The Sims. The most tiny movements of the cursor in the eye are inevitably distort the edges of the eyelids, and even about changing the proportions of the face – the distance between the eyes, the height and depth of planting – you can not remember. In general, from a distance, the final model looks quite Slavic. But nearby it becomes clear that the contours of the eyes were seriously injured and the makeup falls into them.
By the way, about makeup: skillfully selected combat coloring may well mask missing with careful editing. Only with a blush should be treated more carefully: it is designed for a default face shape and may well fail into a protruding cheekbone and run a cloud to a hollow cheek.
Darwin's practice
I left the terrible and unfriendly thug of the berserker at last. I never came up with what to make it out of it. Although … Here is a task of sufficient complexity: will it be possible to build a man quite acceptable in appearance from this savage? Forward, pokatami giants a shower of progress and civilization!
For starters – to the hairdresser. We wash the client, cut and win. Here is the first surprise: it will never work to choose it smoothly, the stubble seems to be genetically built into the skin. And hair, hair! Well, who in his native tribe so mercilessly smoked shreds? Will have to increase strands to somehow smooth out the flaws of the students of the hairdresser.
We go to anthropomorphism. Here I again get into an irresistible obstacle: face bones. Completely eliminate the outstanding chin, hanging overbred arches and the consequences of multiple fractures of the bridge of the bridge, pulling out deeply sunk eyes and at least slightly increasing the forehead is not just difficult, but borders on the impossible. Lip reformatting led to the fact that the bones of the skull were exposed: over there, in the corners of the mouth you can see the undisguised consequences of the disaster. The same applies to posture: congenital stoop is never transformed into any decent harmony.
However, the final result nevertheless went very far from the original workpiece. It looks quite friendly and even resembles some kind of TV star … No, not Valuev.
The right handle is forward
If the cells of the characters ended sharply (for starters, three places are allocated to us), and the resulting appearance is incredibly pleasing, it can be preserved for the future. Just not in the cell – it does not work yet. You can fall the finished layout. But there is only one: any subsequent attempt to save the masterpiece will rewrite the existing file.
But on this opportunity to mock a defenseless hero does not end. A special body tab allows an accelerated fitness course. Increase or decrease the length and thickness of the limbs, adjust growth, add muscles or turn the character into a suffocation. Separate functions – building bust and Brazilian buttocks. The last option is applicable to men.
And finally, you can have fun with a game called "Think your hero of the most absurd pose". Pose editor is almost as advanced as setting up other appearance. The body is again divided into areas, and each of them is dragged, manually or slider, to the desired position. The setting is so thin that each phalanx of each finger moves separately.
Only one luxury overshadows all this luxury: the selected and with such thoroughly configured poses cannot be preserved for now. Just take a picture.
Sokunstkammariki
And finally about the main thing: freaks. Taught by bitter experience Aion Players cautiously look at advanced editors, fearing a second invasion of such creators. Well … there is an occasion for fears. And what else. Create a fat short -lived jabbu Hatt? Easily. Long pole with a huge ass? No problems. Yes, and having fun with a face is much easier than it seems: you just have to turn off the settings of symmetry, and you can shift the noses and chins to one side, eager your jaws and bulging a single eye. Here is a modest variation on the topic "50 shades of gray".
Do not think that everyone is reasonable to the same and reverently relate to other people's aesthetic feelings. And on the test server, which will still go into the garbage basket, God himself ordered to have fun with the insane variations of distortions of human and elven bodies!
So, maybe we will use the capabilities provided and compete – who will squeeze the maximum from the local editor?
