How moddable is the portrait generator?

[wolfing]

I watched the video and think the generator is awesome, but I wonder how moddable it is considering it's mostly graphical? Can an average modder do something with it or will it have to be someone expert in Maya or whatever 3D application is required?

First and only bump, it's a new and great feature and I would love to see modders do wonders with it.

I believe the head, hair, age, etc are pre-rendered images and they just merge/blend between the different image parts ( I'm just guessing here )
So in theory it should be quite easy to mod in your own images.

If It will be similar to the Stellaris Alien's portraits, It will be quite moddable. I myself added a bunch of races and there are a lot on the steam's workshop.

Sounds good, but remember these also morph with age and are 3D, you can rotate them and all so I'm not sure.

Rotate is not a big deal ( they are 3d models, in Stellaris they also move) Aging.. It could be done with textures, probably.

From where do you know the characters rotates ?? ( not that I don't believe you )

It's from this video, from about 12:30.

Thanks a bunch

Yeah disregard what I first said, this might need a 3d model to utilize that randomizing tool
