Progress Report: UI, Male Template & Art Style Updates

Mannequin Character Generator
A downloadable character generator for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hello! It has been two weeks since our last devlog, and today we'll be giving a short summary about changes that happened in the nightly builds. These are works in progress that are not fully functional yet, but it should give some insight about things that will be added to the stable releases of Mannequin in a relatively short time.

Library Folders

Eyes, Brows, and Mouth browser now has a 'folder' structure, helping us to navigate easier through the available choices. The number of available variations inside each 'folder' also displayed as part of the thumbnail.

Male Template Progress

Now we can technically make something using the male template, because he finally has t-shirt and pants...? (the pants is still incomplete, though) Also, keen-eyed art meisters might notice that the art style of male clothing is miles better than those for females. This new art style for clothing will also be applied to female templates gradually.

Art Style Tweaks

We've added more details to the eye section, specifically the eyelids, to help reduce the flat look. Mouth and lips are also adjusted slightly, to give a more consistent look between feminine and masculine templates.

That's it for now! We're looking forward to share some progress again on the next occasion, hopefully bringing news of a new stable release.

As always, thank you very much for your support!
