HeroMachine Character Portrait Creator

I’ve just updated HeroMachine 3 with the “Headgear-Mask-Female” set. Previously when using the existing headgear sets, the default placement was too high and the head outline wasn’t really right for female figures. When I first planned out HM3 the thought was that these items would be generic and if you picked a female body I’d just programmatically move items to whatever the new default position/scaling was. That didn’t really work out. So now I’m going back through and manually fixing these sorts of sets that just don’t quite fit properly.

I’ll move on to the rest of the Headgear items next, but I thought the Masks were the most pressing. On some of these I just moved them into place, but for others I actually redrew the head outlines and reshaped the shadow color areas. I hope this helps make the creation of female characters easier and more rewarding.

Finishing the collection of female-specific hands, I’ve just made “HandLeft-Female” available for HeroMachine 3 to go with its right-side sister. Enjoy! As always, you may have to clear your browser’s cache to see the new options appear.

I’ve just uploaded the “GloveLeft-Female” set to HeroMachine 3 to complement the GloveRight-Female items from yesterday. As always, you might need to clear your cache to see the new option.

“New” might be a bit of a misnomer, but I’ve just released the “GloveRight-Female” set to HeroMachine 3. You may have to clear your cache for it to show but the file’s there. Enjoy!

I’m going through and updating the current male-only items to female versions where needed. Then I’ll do the flipover of right-only items to left. It’s possible along the way I’ll add some completely new, never before seen items as well so put your thinking caps on.
