Place light-sources (one or two low-intensity omnidirectionals, maybe one or more directional lights with more intensity, to setup shadows/shading) based upon where you position a light source in relation to the character.

I know with Blender 3D and other programs, you could script and animate the walking cycles and so much more.

For creating various stances, poses, and even facial-emotive reactions, you may need to learn a bit about skeletal rigging for your character model then, pose the character-model.

(Photographic-quality characters can be a quite jarring difference from the tilesets we use in our games no need to be too lifelike here.)

Apply an anime- or 'toon'-style shading/modifier to all visual aspects (hair, skin, clothing, miscellanea) so that the end-result is intentionally not too realistic, at least to match the feel of your game's other visual assets.

Basically, anything the character would wear, hold, or have near.

Add your own modeled clothing, armor, weapons, whatever else fits the scene and theme of your RPG Maker game.

It takes some more steps before it's ready, but. Such a model could be imported into a 3D modeling program for the final touches, and then modify to suit your purposes, such as going from a photo-realistic to an anime style. It's all based upon pretty decent pre-made humanoid templates, modeled on realistic human models you can export these models either clothed or unclothed, for further editing. And yes, if you so choose, you can tweak the 'chest size' of the character.

(If you've played with Create-A-Sim in any of the recent The Sims games, you'll be alright.) Make male or female characters, young children or old-aged centenarians, sized morbidly obese to almost-fatally-thin/emaciated, choose the skin color/race, et cetera. As of the last time I used it, it had numerous sliders to tweak the character model to your liking. For humans and humanoid characters, perhaps you have heard of the MakeHuman program ? which was made from the ground-up for creating realistic characters for videogames. Modeling your own character can be quite an involved process, but is quite rewarding when done, and done right, whether you want a photo-realistic, or anime-style, or other-stylized modeled object. Well, 7th, if 3D modeling isn't too far out of your learning curve, you might find some modeling programs to help you.

Thanks in advance for any help and time taken to read and answer! Means a lot!!ĭreadshadow, I think 7thAgeGamer means a program to MAKE the pictures, not necessarily the scripting to add them.

There's already a face generator in VX Ace, which is really neat, and I can play with expressions that way but not quite as good as a full body pic, if you get what I mean. Is there such a thing as a generator out there for that sort of stuff? If not, what advice could you share about trying to achieve this result? Apart from well, maybe practicing lol, 20+ years attempting to draw something on paper and it ends up looking stumpy and just weird! That and I'm not sure they'd fit too well with what I'm trying to achieve. Kind of like the ones that appear in games like Disgaea, where they pop up and have different expressions on them while they're talking. I'm not really very good at drawing things, bar maybe some occasional casual 3D modelling and stickmen drawings (who even then turn out looking wonky!), but I'm very keen on anime and manga, and would like to add full body pics of my own made characters to display when there is dialogue between them. Wondering if you guys can help me, or point in the direction where I could find answers regarding this issue of mine.
