Editing Character Creation and Modification (section)

==Picking your Preset==
Picking your preset is the first step in customizing your character to your tastes. Which preset you choose acts as as base over which any changes made by you are applied too. Using different presets result in different looks even when applying the same edit, so choose one that is appealing to your or choose a standard one.

Presets: Allows you to pick one of the default presets from the PWI development team. With the untamed class it also has the added benefit of allowing you to choose which animal your avatar’s looks will be based on.

Saved Presets:  Saved presets include any presets created by the PWI team that were added later,  such as the one depicted in this image which is a big headed barb. It also includes any presets added to the UI from a preset contest that PWI held once. Most importantly however, it also allows you to save your characters looks. Hit the save button at any time your are in the character creation menu to save your progress. It can also be used if you are unsure about any changes you want to make to your character with the makeover scroll. Make your changes and save the preset. Then hit the cancel button and your changes will be saved as preset to use later, but will not be applied to your character. Cancelling does not consume a makeover scroll. Please note that any saved changes will also appear on any server you play. Should you decided to switch servers, you can use this method to use your old characters look on your new server.


Reference Images: Reference images allow you to use any bitmap image as referece when creating a character. In order to view the image you want you must first put a picture into the reference picture folder. Typically located at C:\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\element\userdata\userpic on windows machines. Drag the Bitmap image (you may want to conver t the image first using the paint tool in windows and saving it as a bitmap) into the folder and then click the reference picture button to toggle your reference picture on and off.  You can manipulate the reference image within the box as well.
