Thread: Any sites that let me choose a color and see what the item looks like with that color?

Specifically Doctor's Dress'. I am looking for one but I don't want to have to buy 15 of them to get one that I like. I would imagine someone might've made a site, somewhere along the line, that would let the potential buyer choose the colors he/she wants, then show an image of what it would look like in that color.


I know there would be thousands of possible outcomes, but it's a shot in the dark that someone might have a site like this. It would be very helpful.

Looks like there isn't such a thing. I wish Tailoring could be like Image Designing, where the buyer could look at all of his or her options ahead of time.

Theoretically you could make one, however keep in mind that...


For each item in our inventory, you have to do all sets of possible colors. a small example. Lets assume 100 different items. Each in two colors. Lets assume we have 100 colors to work with. Now, this means there are 1000 possible combinations per item, times 100 items = 1000000 pictures to do. Realistically, with different palettes everywhere, we could balance the number of colors on any given item to about 150, say 200 items, average of 2 colors per. 150 x 150 =


22500. Multiply by 200 items... = 4.5 million pictures.


My head already hurts just thinking of that...

Lets take this one step further:

average size jpeg web image = 64k

64k * 4.5 Million pics = 275GB!

I would think an experienced programmer (which I'm not) could simply put a simulation from the game with the color palettes and apply the color chosen to the items. Allakhazams.com has this for building characters. I don't see why someone could not simulate clothing creation. That's if they wanted to put the work into it

And another thing, colors always look different when you have the clothes equipped, as that they do in /examine

Now consider that there are 4,294,967,296 possiblecombinations (of ugly)for the Reinforced Pullover alone…


It would have to be a filter thing using color fills…but damned if I know how to do that in JavaScript/CSS
