Hello
I made a quick app to help with the preset making.
Basically it's a program you run and shows the look of a preset while you edit your preset on your fav image editor, everytime you save your jpg/png textures or material scripts you can see the results with a press of the F5 button rather than waiting for the game to open every time you make a change.
Here a the video showing how it works.

Install & use:
First download and extract this zip file anywhere you want in your computer.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/o05855bn8dp84b9/ITFH_preset_testingv3.zip/file
You will find a folder with name ITFH_preset_testingv3, inside you find 3 folders depending the type of preset you want to edit.
Preset_IT Is the default Impressive tittle lion preset
PresetC_FH is for editing Feral Heart Canine preset
PresetF_FH is for editing Feral Heart Feline preset
If you want to edit the FH feline preset for an example, you open PresetF_FH and you will find a material script and the texture files for you to edit.
Keep in mind it's the very first version and might be a bit tricky to setup.
Source code included
Compiled with Codeblocks, MinGW, OgreSDK_mingw_v1-7-2

This looks incredible!
A lot of work as been put into this, I can tell
I feel like I'm definitely going to try this out when I'm making a Christmas preset for this year's Winter party, because I feel like re-launching FH all the time to make sure something fits correctly will be too much of a hassle. Thanks so much for sharing this creation, with time and practice it's going to benefit a lot of people. Preset novices or no.

-inhales- HOLY COW!!! This is the best thing I've ever seen. Def going to give this a shot sometime. Thank you so much for making this!

This is an amazing device you made! Chances are, I'll definitely try it out sometime as I'm always wasting time relaunching the game while making presets. Thank you for making and sharing this!
-
The tutorials you make are awesome! Thank you for throwing this together, Tikoucas. <3

If I could give more I would!<3

Oh man oh man, this is going to be so useful for me aaahhhh! Thank you so much for posting this, we all appreciate it a ton! <33

I've just been using it recently this evening, and I have never had such an easier time previewing my preset progress!
This is going to be used by me every time I make a preset, I'm 100% sure of it

Very handy, I must say! I'm sure many will find this useful! Keep up the fantastic work. +floof

Update:
Now the program also reloads material scripts for the character!
Time to do some fancy coding on your presets :D
I recommend reading the Ogre3D material tutorial manual and experiment with it.
The reloading of materials is only on the character.
tutorial:
http://wiki.ogre3d.org/Materials
Manual:
https://www.ogre3d.org/docs/manual.old/manual_14.html
Improved Camera a bit, use + and - keys from numpad to make Camera go up and down.
Press R for a wire mode. Warning: creepy!
Know bugs:
Tabbing out right after pressing F5 makes the program to reload textures enless until you tab back in for a few seconds.
Possible bugs:
Because there are so many body parts, maybe I forgot to do the material script reloading to some body parts. If you find something is not reloading please comment.

Omg I remember trying this a while back! This app is super helpful and makes preset making more pleasant, you’ve no idea how much it’s appreciated. Really you’re on a roll with these helpful tutorials! Thank you so much for posting these. Honestly you’re putting me in such a mood to work on presets and even maps again.

I used to view presets in Blender to make it easier to see changes faster but the problem is, I do a lot of coding on my presets. I could never preview material changes.....UNTIL NOW.
Thank you so much for putting this together. I will definitely be using this when I get back into my complicated preset that I've been putting off for months.
-
Wow, this is great! Thanks for putting this together, I'm sure many preset-makers will find it useful! I'll definitely try it out!
-
This looks amazing! Hopefully, this will get me back into making presets and I am so excited!
One issue I'm finding is that the link to the download isn't working for me. It's saying the site has been changed or moved. Is it possible that the link could be or was updated?
Thank you either way!

cool

This is literally the most useful thing on my computer. This and the snipping tool. It makes presets an absolute breeze. Thank you, a thousand times over. <3 <3

How useful!!!

Is there a way to change the keybinding? The F1, F2 etc. keys don't work for me.

If you're on a laptop make sure you hold down the fn key to make the F# buttons work.
