Creating a World – Creating Character portraits
The subject is actually part of my tutorial in the miscellaneous forum. As it contains text and graphics instructions I thought a link would not be out of order here.
LINK ==> Creating a World – Character portraits, creation and use

Introduction
Transparent or not?
Ever wondered how those modders did it? I am talking about the character pictures in the unit view and the character view.
The character picture in the summary will have a nice background and the one in the unit list will be transparent. Have a closer look at the picture below. How to make a picture that achieves this will be explained in the Creating the Portrait chapter.
Who is getting the portrait?
Once the portrait is created, the question then remains: “How do I get it to right character?” Should it be just for one character, only for a certain faction, or maybe just for a culture? Or for everybody?
All these questions will be answered in the Using the Portrait chapter.
