So because the new version of Mannequin is rather lacking in options to customise i took it upon my self to figure out how the program reads the svg files and puts them on screen. Im releasing this for all, and devs it would be great if you could check everything to make sure i have done it correctly there wasn't exactly any documentation that i could find on how to do it :P

Just in-case someone thinks it is a virus i have scanned the zip file with VirusTotal(https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/8006955abb95e63b99166ad7f17f9b17971a7179f7df70...)

Download: https://mega.nz/#!4IlWXSZb!8pp2VuDK-kPOnqf9M54IQYqITnSiIsMn2V_-dFl8Gkg

Installation:

Extract the library folder into your main Mannequin install directory and then open the program everything should load in and work. If it does not feel free to leave a comment id be happy to try and help.

----------------------------------

Hopefully me doing this opens an entirely new world of content sharing with mannequin. I can see that the devs are hard at work so i am going to try to give back, This is just 1 of my contributions Enjoy all!

LICENSE:

What ever the license is for Mannequin and it's content is whats applied here. I simply edited an existing svg file provided with the program to make this.

Hi! Glad to see that someone has finally deciphered this! We decided to open up the default library starting in 0.2.x so that people are able to build something based on it. The system for user-created content is not ready for the public yet, though, so just a few tips if you're doing this:

- Remember/backup the files that you've added as part of your custom component. In the future, files for user-created content will be separated from the default library for easier distribution.

- Mannequin uses specific color palette depending on the component (skin, eye, hair, clothing, etc) so that the app can distinguish between base, highlight and shadow colors. So if you're making these, mimic the exact color palette of the ones already available in the default library.

Yeah it's actually pretty easy to add new components now that i know. Everything you said i pretty much figured out. When i was creating the crying eyes i ended up saying all the palettes and figured it out by then. It would help if i was actually an artist haha. But yeah its actually a pretty cool system i really like it!. Iv just created an anguish expression using custom eyes and mouth so ill release them soonish.

Whats the naming convention for adding new footwear?

Iv got it working with the UI. but i can't seem to figure out what the .svg file needs to be named.

AR14Developer7 years ago (1 edit)

The naming is correct, but starting in 0.2.0 we have introduced a new mandatory property 'layer' with the value type of string. The value can be either of these ones: "outer", "middle", "base" or "under".

This determines at which layer the clothing item will be rendered. "outer" should be displayed over "middle" and so on.

Is this correct because it still does not render.

AR14Developer7 years ago

That should be correct; We'll check this one out for potential bugs in the renderer. Thanks for the info!
