Im sure someone has thought of this before, but would it be coolif the game had a patch that you could download that takes screenshots and bitmaps and allows you to make custom paitnings out of them, uploaded to the game as maybe a blueprint that you could later create as an object in the game?
Could this even be possible I mean I know there would have to be soem monitering lest a player creates something hatefull or vulgar... course it comes with any new territory inside the game.

or, just to stop all those "naughty pictures" turning up in game, a camera item, that can be used to both take a screenshot, and create a painting schematic that architects can then make (I think architects do paintings don't they? )

It would be cool if you could craft something like this that used a client-side only image.
Basically you'd create an image named painting1.bmp and put it in your SWG directory.
Then every time you walked past one of these paintings, you (and only you) would see that image.

It's a cool idea, but I don't see anything like this ever getting implemented.
Reasons:
1) People can be jerks. You'd see pictures of vulgar language and emotes, abuse, etc.
2) The game doesn't move graphics over the wire from the server to the client. The graphics are already on the client, only the details of which graphics to show are sent. To do the camera thing, you'd have to move the image itself across the wire. Image thousands of folks with many 10s of pictures each. Yikes!

how oubt a camera that stores 5-10 images fora person architects cna make the same number of painting schematics and each one will look liei one of your camera scenes (with possibly a defult image for thgose woh have yet to use a camera, no images get transfered just the info of what image to use, th eonyl difference is that its showing an image youve chosen
downside
this really doenst have any even vague basis in realism
