How to create a biography picture using the PhotoCreator.
If you haven't already done so, you will need to download Play KISS from OtakuWorld. Play Kiss is a program used for the electronic 'paper' dolls called Kisakae Dolls - or KISS for short. I have used their programming and methods to create this 'program'. Play Kiss is completely free and you can download whichever version you like, as long as it supports FKISS. This is very important.
Now you have the program installed, use it to load the file called "pcreator.cnf" If prompted, click 'Play!'. Select the first clothing 'set', usually represented by a hanger with the numeral '1' beside it.
This will take you to a screen that looks something like this:
Now using the various 'buttons' have fun and create your character! As a general rule, pink is for girls and blue is for boys!
HINT: if there's something you want to get rid of but it won't go away no matter what you click on, you can simply drag it away from you picture.
Once you have your picture, you will notice that it is outlined in white dotted lines:
Don't panic. They are there for a reason. You see, cobbling together fragments of pictures does not look very professional, so the white lines are there as guidelines for 'blending' which you can do in any decent photo-editing program. Once you have all the pieces in the right places as you want them, go to File/Save as Bitmap. This takes a screenshot and saves it (just choose a name and place!). Now load up a photo-editing program with 'blend' abilities. I use Corel, but I know other people who use Photoshop and other programs. Once you have it loaded, blend along the white lines. Be careful around the eyes and mouth! In Corel, I usually set the blend tool at its highest.
The result of this exercise is that the dotted lines turn into highlights and blend together the separate pieces in a much more realistic way. Once you have trimmed your screenshot, you can stretch and resize it in whatever way flatters your character. You can even play around with special effects... the finished product turns out looking something like this:
Reporting for duty, sir! ; )
