Title: Quick Question
Post by: ThrillexForLife on April 27, 2014, 11:51:42 pm
I'm just curious how some members add skeletons to their presets and mask. How do they do it? Help.

Where I don't see it?

Edit: Do you mean in the preset folders or inside the game when you custom your character?

Here are some screenshots of the preset. It is only available in the canine creating area.

Well its not a preset, its more like a 'body pattern', 'Head Pattern', and 'Tail Pattern'

Oh, no, no. Not that I meant like a preset. For example, like this

Oh, im not sure about that one... Ive never seen it honestly. That would be a preset that you make on your own, outside of the game. Most likely a download. Id check out DA and see if its on there, and if you find the download you can ask the creator about it, how it works and such.

1. You need a transparent code for your preset: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=34786.0 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=34786.0)

2. You'll have to draw on the bones in Gimp or some other kind of art program. Gimp is a good program; it's free!
3. Save it how you would save any preset.
Note that you cannot use the original FH makings for a preset, as it states here: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=7372.0 (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=7372.0)
It can take a lot of practice to make a preset like that, if you're a beginner.


Also, if you have a skeleton laid out already, I'd use a tool similar to an eraser that erases one color completely. For example, I have white markings on a black background. I user the eraser on the black backround. The black completely becomes transparent. On PS, it's this tool: (I don't know if Gimp has it; I don't use Gimp anymore.)

This is the effect:

It makes it easier to make complex presets easier. But, I think you'd have to do what I linked before.

If someone knows an easier way, I'd appreciate it also. x_x It's hard making presets with bones.
