Image Designer Archive

I thought of an interesting idea for Image Designers that would make them alot of money if the devs decided to use it.

What if an imager designer could make a painting customization kit that only they could use with a certain skill, and maybe the kit had only like 4 uses but took lots of resources. The image designer would use the Painting kit and go to first person mode, get rid of their HUD with shift+control+H and would use a certain key to take a screenshot of whatever they were looking at. If you mess up, you waste a kit use, but if you suceed in capturing what you wished to capture, then you could choose a frame with the kit and the frame color, and create the painting and sell it to someone.

This could make alot of money for this mostly undesirable profession because they could do portraits of people who asked for it and could sell it to them when complete for a good amount of money. It would be a great decoration for the house, but I don't know if it could ever be a possibilty.

Tell me what you think..

maybe let us take the photo and craft the kit but an archetech has to make the frame and frame the art

As said on the Radiant forums it cant be done. Everyone has to be able to see the exact same objects the Dev Team isnt going to accept billions upon billions of screenshots that they would then have to patch out to every player on every galaxy. Its a Great Idea unfortunately I doubt it will be ever be possible in SWG. Unless Im wrong on this If I am then my Ideas on my "Idea I Had" thread the initial ones should be possible too.

Said it before and I'll say it again.

Just store the pics on the server in which they are needed. Make it Dynamic and not Static. The actual coding of each server would be the same, but the individual picture data would be different. That would make pictures individual to each Galaxy. Furthermore, the client would send a request for the picture data on an as-needed basis, making it unnescessary to 'patch' it to individual clients.

However, the implementation of this would require adding some coding in, and depending on the render and item loading systems used.. may not be possible

Besides which, it has nothing to do with Image Designer whatsoever. Image Designers aren't intereor decorators les alone artists. You're talking about making a hand-painted picture from scratch using artistic talen. ARTISAN talent.
