I really enjoy the content you're releasing on the website like the ARK Starmap. It would be amazing to be able to tailor our character "face" in a similar way. Could we have external character model editing tools so we could work on them outside the client software?asked by Rando
TL;DRRoberts says no current plan for external face-editing tools; character customization is planned in-game through a futuristic plastic-surgery facility, since the face system is tied to CryEngine, though the future is open.
It's not a bad suggestion. We're not currently planning to that. We're currently planning to allow you to customise your character or face sort of in game in fiction. In Squadron 42 you'll be able to do it and also we'll let you do it in the Persistent Universe. So if you go into one of these fancy medical facilities. Imagine it as a sort of futuristic plastic surgeon and you can reconstruct your face and you can go in the interface and determine what you want to look like and go into the machine and you'd come out looking like that. That's probably how we would do it. Don't know about releasing a stand alone generator.I know the Black Desert game did it and they've got a pretty cool character generator thing. We'll see but likely since the actual face generation and the Morph system and the whole facial setup we're using is very tied to CryEngine we probably, wouldn't be as easy just to do it in WebGL the same way we did the Star Map so it probably will be just based on client for now but you never know in the future but i'm guessing we'll probably just be client bound on that.
