Hey,
very evasive question about our avatar. I notice that apart from Got Friend, there were so little addon of avitar (3D model of your pilot/copilot), and very, veeeeeeeeery little female avatar.
Think about it, Got have produced about 10 animal models, but only one female model.
Fortunately there is the streamer AvAngel !
So, I was looking what is the difficulties to produce a rigide and low animated model (without creating the model, just get it from free source or something), and it require softwares that I will clearly spend hour to correctly control, and I don’t have a lot of time to do so.
Without speaking of integrated it into MSFS.
Well, I just don’t have the skills, I confess.
And the add-on community seem not very inspired on this category.
What do you think about it ? Have you find any model somewhere ? Do you want some models ? Will be more in 2024 ? Some devs speaks about produce new one ?
Yeah fun stuff ; I see the tutorial, Jaydee takes a simple line face to show “how to” but I suspect far more adjustment needed to get something that could be just acceptable … Skin color, photo exposure, photo aperture, photo angle … Texturing on a polygon model can be really touchy.
Furthermore, the model stay the same (headphone, glasses, face shape, etc.).
I really looking for something totally new, like the aviatar (but it’s not a payware for nothing) !
I thought I had a hockey game or something that did that some time ago? As for ‘girls’, I think the lady in the brown leather jacket has been my copilot the entire 1500+ hours in 2020.
That’s the point, the girl avatar is used as decoration in most of the guys cockpit.
Why the girl ? Because most of the simmer are males, and they also simulate “hey, check my plane, just sit there and watch me” …
But still, there are so poor difference between a model and another (male or female) that you just have to forget about it for the moment.
