Since we can submit Custom Skins, would it be possible to submit a custom portrait to go with it?

Gunthor's portraits. His work is excellent, but it no longer matches up with the custom skin I submitted.

We already have to submit a "swatch" with our custom vehicle skins: I imagine we could do something similar for custom skins and the portrait?

Anyway, I have my custom portrait ready for when this is added :)

If players lend out the ganger, will the custom portrait need to be transferable to them?

Yeh sorry to hear that. It appears my cowardice in the past was in fact wisdom

Just trying to cover all bases

Is there any other need for other people to receive a members custom portrait?

Besides the in-game vehicle manager and the website interface, I don't think the portraits show up anywhere else.

I don't think having the proper portrait show up for another player borrowing a ganger is necessary... It would be a bit more polished, but entirely secondary in importance.

Borrowing other players' characters wouldn't cause any problem, the portraits would 'dynamically patch' as needed the same as car skins.

However.. would they be awkward to produce? - they need be png files with a transparent background in order to let the health bar show thru from behind when used in the car GUI. (If you look in-game you'll see what I mean.. the healthbar is behind the character's left shoulder and would be invisible if the mugshot wasn't made with transparency).

In any case where you cant download or dont really need to you could have a "CUSTOM SKIN" standard stand in icon with a blacked out guy and a question mark or something.

move the heatlh bar to the front or just leave instructions for transparency... someone will post a quide to making them pics all right.

Good to know about the transparency. Not something I've thought about with the ones I've done so far. I managed to do this with my original logo, not sure how i did though as the 2nd one I made has a black background and isn't transparent.

If I find out, Ill make a post.

anyone with photoshop could do a png easy, I was thinking perhaps we could come up with some way to see other character's faces in the middle of combat (possibly starfox style?) but that depends on what direction the game develops.

also I can whip up a silhouette right now.
