Portrait Creation

Remove all ads!

My, I don't seem to be able to shut up lately! At ANY rate, I would like to know if somebody here can aid me in my attempts to make a portrait, something like the Kelsey portrait, or even the ones already in the game. It would be of great use. Any ideas people?

Seems i can't shut up too...

I'm afraid that little piece of information DIDN'T actually help me. I need LOTS of info, how do I get the portrait to begin with, how do I make it look BG2-ish, and so on.

 

it is not really all that difficult, but you will want a calculator. Scan your image or whatever, and open it in MSpaint. When this is done, open a previous portrait for example, minsc. Look at the sizing. Move your cursor to the lower right corner and look at the co-ordinates. Then, compare it to the co-ordinates in Minsc's picture. Divide them comparitavly.

for eg.
Minsc = 321,423
Photo = 321,846

321/321 = 1.
846/423 = 2.

Ans * 100

Go to image, then sketch/skew.
leave the horizontal as it is, but make the vertical 200% (2 times higher).

Then do the same for the smaller image. Name them something simple like BarbL and BarbS (large and small barbarian.)

Create a folder in the BG2 folder called portraits and place them both in. You can now access them in game.

Cheers.
