Character Creator Idea: Realism Switch
« on: February 05, 2012, 05:07:36 pm »
Considering how well things like Sully's wolf mod went over, I got the idea to actually put it in the game and toggle between it and the more Disney-ish skin.  Same with  lions, you could toggle between Lion King style and something along these lines:

 I'm not sure how hard this would be to include, of course, and I realize it's easy to download stuff from the forum, but this would add more variety on the plains and enable people who want to look more cartoonish to appear that way even if someone else is using a more realistic skin.

I'm sure this will go down well with the Lion King fans.
I like 'dis idea, although this might increase the amount of Simbas and Kovus, though thats not much of a problem.

How would it increase them? Not arguing, just trying to see your reasoning... it seemed to me like this would reduce the number of Lion King lookalikes by giving more options.

I like this idea, i think that it would look good on some of my characters and other people but zaroque's right, it may increase the amount of simbas, kovus, nalas and kiaras. And it may also increase the amount my little ponys and other Disney/non disney shows/movies.

I think Zaroque (stephan too) thought you meant a switch to make it look more like a disney character, not more realistic.

And I like it. Personally, I find the current fur texture a little boring. It would be good to be able to change it up.

Ah, yes. I can see how that would be confusing; I mean MORE realistic. The style we have now is already quite cartoonish.

Hm, I think it would be nice if we could have the option to toggle between two versions (such as the original FeralHeart and FeralTastic).

good idea! I always wanted to know what some of my characters looked like cartoonish!

Laura, no. This is an idea for more REALISTIC when it is switched. Not more cartoonish. This was clarified already, and there are not that many posts that you missed it in a swarm of posts or there were too many pages.

I agree. I think that the current chars are quite cartoon like, even bordering, dare I say it... Derpy. Yes, derpy! I shall make it a word!

Anyway... I currently use Delay's retextured pack, so things look a lot more realistic for me already, or rather, as much as they could at this point. But yes. More realistic characters, and the choice to toggle, maybe, between the two?

That'd be brilliant.
Resigned, quit, and basically long gone.
