EVE Online: Character Creation Detailed

SBFordSBFord Former Associate EditorMember LegendaryPosts: 33,129

The EVE Online team has posted a brand new blog about one of the most anticipated features coming with the Incursion expansion: Character Creation. CCP Ph00ze goes into great detail about the process developers went through to make the huge improvements in the models for Incursion. There's a lot of great information to read so be sure to swing by and check it out!

We figured that with the attention our character creation system has been getting lately, that it was time to write a devblog about it. There´s lots to cover, so let´s get to it!

The Carbon Character System was made to enable us to create characters for several projects, including Eve. It started off as a design document containing various wishlist features, ranging in complexity from the simple to the impossible. I believe most of the items on the list ended up being possible, with the possible exception of essentially being able to perform a striptease with arbitrary clothing. Hmm, do they even do that in CGI movies these days? Do I really want to know?

    I'm glad CCP took the time to give this creation tool the level of detail not ever seen in any mmo to date. Although this is not something new in the industry, it is presedented in what can be done in a mmo when it's updated and tech is continually evolved.

    well, it's nice, but they should just implement this when we're able to walk on station

    So What Now?

    All in due time. This is essentially just eye candy at the moment and a teaser for Incarna.

    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

    And certainly also a taste of what World of Darkness will offer :)

    This is amazing! Cant wait for Incarna.  Convinced my bud to start eve out fresh with me (hes leaving WoW).  So I hope that works out, I'm super excited for what Eve has to offer!

    All the vids made me skeet soooo hard. I honestly can't wait for incarna, and especially for WoD (if they convert the tech over). In the case of WoD though, it's highly unlikely that you'll see massive amounts of people in one area because of the requirements on the physics engine, and that means combat would likely either be tuned-down, or spaced out (most likely instanced or something). I wonder how they plan to actually handle the *game* aspects with how much juice is required for the visuals alone.

    It would totally make this overkill IF they added something like GameFace with FiFa 11 and EA. Either way this is really cool. I have been dreaming of the day mmos include a deeper character creation tool like the new sims game have.

    I'm going to be disappointed in losing my current portrait as mine accidentally came out looking like Christopher Walken.

    Is it just me or do you guys think they should make textures like this for the ships as well. I know we just got a graphics update but shouldn't the graphics quality match up, the ships are pretty and all but they don't look anywhere near as good as this, at least to me.

    That would be great but most ships in EVE only have about 3000 polygons, the heads alone in the character creater have over 4000. The reason why they have such low polycounts is directly related to performance. When you have the potential to have 3000 ships on the screen you need to account for it.
