want to ask... its just show front view? its no side view, quarter view, side view and back view?

Hi, thanks for this amazing software, (only played around with the demo (can't buy anything at the moment) but it looks promising!)

I was wondering if you planned on a way for a more customisable haircut (possibility to choose the back of the hair (ponytail, pigtail,long, short...) the front, the side and dome hornemets (braids, additional hairs sticking out...) separatly to form unique and diverse haircuts  (kind of what charat have done for it's generators)

And something that I'm sure would be REALLY hard to do but would be awesome: a way of resizing the features and the shape of the face (I'm just tossing ideas that I find cool (but I'm sure you already thought to implement that))

Hello! I have just tried the demo version and there's something that is preventing me from wanting to buy it. There are no skirts for boys. Would it be possible to allow both genders to wear the same kind of clothing?

Still keepin an eye out for more haircuts. :3

Is there going to be a old and child body types? If so, what version do you plan on implementing them?

Also, is there going to be a feature where we can import our own templates?

Hey! This might've been answered already but couldn't find the suggestions before:

•  Any chance of making it so that we can import our own assets (svg or png) and place/resize/layer them manually?
• Are there any fantasy/sci-fi themed assets planned, such as elf ears or armor?
• Like the name mannequin suggests, will we be able to pose our "mannequins" ourselves in the distant future? :)

When there are significant updates?

Hi This suggestion is about the Demo version my suggestion is that the export button is available for the demo version but there's a limited amout of costumes or skirts or whatever you call it in the demo version but you can export(This is just a suggestion and its not any hate against this Amazing software)

Regarding haircuts, have you thought about splitting up the "haircut" section similarly to how expressions are split up?

Like, instead of having a bunch of prebuilt hairstyles, you could just have us manually pick from different menus what bangs, hair length, etc. we wanted?

From there, you could also include options for extras, like different ahoges and so on, that could function like accessories, but for hair.

From looking at how the files are split up as SVGs, I think this should be possible - at the very least, when customizing characters myself, I'm able to switch this stuff out with relative ease myself.

Another thing I'd personally like to see would be different coloring or shading styles, if possible? Working between the new nightly build and the old, old stable build, I can't help but feel there's something sharper and cleaner in at least how the older build handled hair.

Beyond that, I suppose a big one would be more eyebrow, eye (shape and pupil), and mouth variations. Right now I'm taking to customizing all this stuff myself now that I can dig into the SVG files, but having some more built in stuff would be nifty too.

Bought the app, love the app! The nightly version looks GORGEOUS! Keep up the great work guys! You mentioned you'll be super busy until around the first week of November, so, as it is currently the first week of November...Updates soon??? Hehe

Crossing my fingers that you'll add custom art support/libraries soon so that I could draw and upload a bunch of stuff for the app. Plus if you go with the approach other devs use of "We'll polish and incorporate the best mods into our own game" that'd be less work for you, tons of new content, and everyone feels all cool and happy. Who needs to draw 5000 different hair styles if ur fans are doing it for you lol. So long as u give us a forum/discord server or something to share them around all will be good.

Small sugestions: It really bugs me that ctrl+mousewheel doesn't zoom in/out. Pls make it control zoom.

Hey, just bought this, and it's looking really good so far. A couple of quick questions/requests though:

1) Will the software update automatically with new versions or will I need to do that manually?

2) I can't get the dress pants to work on female characters, is that something that will be fixed?

3) Is there any chance we'll get some more accessories, like business suit style ties and hats?

Many thanks.

I have just stumpled upon this fine piece of software. I am going to buy it, I am just curious if updates are in the pipeline. I think it needs a lot more resources to be able to create really versatile characters:

• more female templates (older / bustier)
• more male templates (older / bulkier)
• more facial expressions
• more accessories (masks, cat ears, everyday props etc)
• more poses

So just about everything :)

A double breasted blazer would be handy

Will users be able to rearrange Face and Clothing Presets in their respective lists? And will it be possible to create new presets by copying from default presets? (e.g. making a new facial expression based on the Default Face Preset)

A big quality of life feature I think would be nice would include being able to save/load character/outfit/etc. templates into the program without having to load up entire characters themselves each time. You can sort of do this if you alter the default character in settings, but being able to save your own set of default outfits/bodies would be useful.

In the more long term, being able to separately scale height and width of sprites, or even being able to separately scale the different parts of sprites someday would be amazing. Sprites' eyes being able to "look" in different directions would also be nice. Being able to have different types of eyebrows/eyelashes, or reshape/rotate  the ones we have now, is another idea too.

Hello!

I just wanted to ask. Will templates for poses like 3/4 or rear view be added in future updates?

It's been a long time since anyone mentioned haircuts, but there are a few I'd really be interested in seeing if at all possible. In particular, there's one I've actually been trying to draw myself (as well as recreate by tinkering with the existing styles):

This is what I've made so far (my drawn attempts on the left with sprite manipulation on the right), but I imagine you would be able to more properly implement what I'm going for here.

Would it be alright to post some references to hairstyles like these here?

Hello again! First, I apologize in advance - this post has probably been at least coming for a year or two given how long I've been working with the program, so forgive me for listing so much all at once.

Bodies: I think I mentioned this elsewhere, but one thing I'd like to see is the ability to change a sprite's height or width individually instead of just scaling the entire thing up and down. If this could even extend to different portions of the body (legs, torso, etc.) down the road, that would be fantastic, but at the very least, being able to change sizes this way would be a huge help.

Facial Features: Options for extra facial features would also be nice! Some examples of what I mean are different eyebrow sizes and shapes, beauty marks, scars, and so on! Different types of pupils (though I could be here all day linking references) would be another great addition, along with perhaps a single fang we could toggle on and off.

Expressions: I think the different expression types we have now give you a lot of options, but having worked with Mannequin sprites on my visual novel for as long as I have now, there are definitely a few that I've found myself wanting enough to just make for myself. These include:

• More "comical" styled eyes, such as ones like the half-closed one we have already, but tilted to express anger or sadness. Other "comical" eye types we could use include various types of horizontal-line based ones for tired or mellow looking expressions, your standard >_< X_X and I_I eyes, and so on. Here are some examples.
• Speaking of the comical eyes, some mouths to go with them would be nice too! Some examples of possibilities include a playful cat mouth, a mouth that's got a little drool leaking from tiredness or hunger, this ever important face, a half pout, a full pout, all kinds of exaggerated expressions like this, blowing a raspberry, a playful teehee going one way, and one going the other :9.
• As far as more normal expressions, one I've basically had to make for all of my characters over again is a downward wink - where the eye that's being closed is closed downwards, basically, so you can use it for more exasperated and tired expressions. I've also mixed the Frantic eyes around with other ones to create different types of wounded expressions and so on, though others' need for this type of face might not really warrant that.
• Other blush types and facial effects would be cool as well

Head and Face Wear: More accessories for a character's face are fantastic ways to make them easier to recognize and more unique! Some of the ones I'd personally love to have access to include baseball caps, baseball caps turned around, visors, headbands around the forehead, foreheadbands but tied on the side, goggles, maybe even helmets!?, or helmets?!?!, hairbands with ribbons on them, caps of varying shapes, round beanies, pointed beanies, cat ear beanies, puffball beanies, straw hats, sun hats, this hat, tippable hats, and punching hats.

Hair Styles: Besides the one I suggested from my previous comment (here is another reference), there are a few other styles I've had a real hankering for using Mannequin.  The side-ponytail and side-parted bangs being able to be reversed to appear in the opposite direction would be another nice feature. The current ponytail (the basic one) is fairly limited as well. It could be longer, bigger, wavy, thin, curly, and more, such as-- Raised/upwards curved bangs, thicker twintails, thing long twintails, low set drills, swirly drills, big drills, full drills, etc. Adding variations of hair with Hair Intakes to the existing hair styles would also be a fun alternative. Some of the bangs have something similar to this, but they're not emphasized quite enough.

Accessories: Balls, bows, clips with different shapes, watches, and rings. I've got a lot of sprites like these in particular, some of which you can see here! Different accessories for other parts of the body (backpacks on the back, purses and schoolbags over the shoulder, etc.) also would be fun.

Clothes: A track suit, jackets and/or coats, and a hoodie jacket, ideally with options for these to be opened and closed each. For the button up shirts, being able to have characters with only one side tucked in (so they can appear sloppy or rushed) would be a big help too. This is pretty easy to make manually, though.

And that is... all for now!

Apologies again for the huge dump of suggestions. Here's a gallery that includes all of the linked images.

Hello again! This just crossed my mind as I was working with the latest nightly build: 

Would exporting only clothing layers/outfit sets for PSDs and SVGs be possible? 

One of the ways layered images can be put together is by swapping out outfits - meaning you don't actually need to have a full body every time, just the body parts that show and then the different pieces of the outfit (like interchangeable puzzle pieces, basically).

Right now, my current process is to have my layered images only apply to faces and expressions, but this still means I have files of each outfit in each pose in the game. If I could just have the pose body parts and then the individual outfit parts, this would cut down on a user's file size by quite a bit - so being able to directly export the outfits separate from the body in the future would make the process much more efficient in that respect.
