View Full Version : Hero Maker: Back from the Dead
I don't know if any of the oldbies remember this thing, but I want to dig out the old Hero Maker. For those of you that don't remember this, get to messing around with it. You can make a "Drawing" of your hero with a matter of a few clicks. Granted, your options aren't limitless, but here is an example of what I did to make a close Lye.
Hero Maker Classic (Beginner) (http://www.heromachine.com/heromachine-1-1/) & Hero Maker 2.5 (Intermediate) (http://www.heromachine.com/heromachine-2-5-character-portrait-creator/) & Hero Maker 3.0 (Advanced) (http://www.heromachine.com/heromachine-3-lab/)
Click here (http://www.heromachine.com/category/hall-of-fame/) if you want to see what the Hero Maker 3.0 can do. There are some pretty impressive characters!
Click the links above for beginner through advanced, play around, lets post what you can make of your character!

Well, after a wee while fiddling with it, I have this for Aur.

Incredible charisma, mate... and a nine-inch tongue.
Right, the tongue. I forgot the tongue. I'm sure the right words just warm them up, lol.
Solar, Leoric looks badass. Nice job! Makes my character look sub par, y'jerk. XD

Hey now, each person has their own style :p yours just happens to be sub par :p

I've been on version 3 for over an hour. Annoyed though, because half the leg options it gives you can't have boots or armour put on them.

What you could do is export all the parts to photoshop and mix and match and resize until they do work
Aurelianus Drak'shal
11-21-13, 04:18 PM
Nope.
<--- techtarded
Lol, I haven't dabbled in 3.0. There are a ton of settings and I will need a few hours of uninterrupted time to go through it all. I'm a quick learner, but some of those flash systems can be rather clunky.
Musashi, I'm liking the Scottish samurai look you got going there! Looks like he's not to friendly with strangers.
Musashi
11-21-13, 04:40 PM
I was just playing around. Thought I'd give him a Scottish look, for the ladies.
Version 3, Crouching: Not totally worth it. But I like it. Not totally done, But wanted to show it's do able.

I ran out of time, but this was pretty fun to play with.

Damn file is too large. I dislike the limited head and body choices, he's way too bricky and muscular. But you get the gist.
The website has a few other editors including a Real Life and Sexy Pinup. Haven't looked at those yet. Might have more body types but limited fashions.

Looking good Aure! Hope that helps you out of your funk. :)

It actually is helping me get back in the mood.
So, cheers mate.
(Well, it took me like, an hour, to finally get this done, so I hope it looks good :P)
(I know, I know, she doesn't look that impressive, but Ashla is going through a heap of "character development" right now ("Masquerade", "On the Concept of Hatred"... ... So it won't be long now 'till...)

I made one for Timoth Gold, it's now his profile picture. but it was done in 2.5.3176

Had to make one.
Her hands are freakishly big but those are the only hands with "claw" type weapons-ish.

Also a shameless plug for you to help me cause I can't get that too work for shit. Haha
As requested, Jensen Ambrose. Let me know how I did.

With the two long bits at the sides... it kinda looks like mullet....
I read his description - Short brown hair with two longer shoulder length pieces at the side with red tips. I can always try again but it's hard without a reference. :/
Chelley
11-24-13, 01:42 AM
Oh I know. I read the description too. And it seems pretty accurate as far as the hair. Tis just the way the HeroGen does things that it looks kinda like a mullet.
Here... have a Poison
Here's one I did for you, Lye! =D The description I used was taken from your character page.

Hey, you know what would make an awesome description? Sand tattoos that portray the roll of dunes but also enhance natural musculature.
You know what is a bitch to create with stock tattoo shapes? Sand tattoos that... etc.
This is the best I can do. I'll try making her non-tournament pic some other day.

And a close-up of the face because all that time spent making single-pixel adjustments on the Roht mark must be immortalized.

02-11-14, 01:43 PM
lol I know what you mean.
But, if it helps, you should look through the Insignia lists, as well as Auras and Energy in the Item Right lists.
Also, not sure how familiar you are with the programme yet, but masking might be something that'd help with the tattoos. Helped me a lot - especially with Aur's tattoos. (For example, his right forearm).
Roht Mirage
02-11-14, 01:57 PM
I never thought to look in Item Right. Just tried to find simple shapes in Insignia.
And now that I look at the right arm, I can see what you mean by masking. I should have thought of that. Thanks muchly for the tips. =)
Aurie has become the resident professional in that area. Too bad he doesn't take commissions... or does he?
Aurelianus Drak'shal
02-11-14, 02:36 PM
Aurie is actually considering taking on commissions. Either just for fun, or maybe for a pittance in gold. But it'd probably be the ones I find easiest or most fun to turn my hand to. I shall definitely keep people posted. The one thing I can say is - I don't do backgrounds. lol Not much use at them.
I believe this deserves to be revived in light of some new members joining the site. To those individuals, please check the first post and have fun building your characters!

It's like a face hugger slept with a zergling which then had an affair with whatever this guy (http://unrealitymag.bcmediagroup.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/amnesia-465x247.jpg) is from Amnesia and together they were stuck in an odd intimate position which somehow included headcrabs as an STD.
And that braingina... it... how... WHY AURE WHY!?
I found yet another character creator (http://v-room.net/g/daijin/jojoface1100.html)... and wasn't sure where to share it, so here works. Styled after Jojo's Bizarre Adventure! (I'm procrastinating, can you tell)

02-02-15, 05:30 PM
Agreed. I am still addicted to it.
Seeing Aure's creations for this is like trying to paint in a room where Andy Warhol and Michelangelo are making out - disheartening and distracting. But I gave it a go.
