Image files
The game uses renders created using DAZ Studio, but you can use any type of artwork or photos you like or have available.
If you are interested in trying out DAZ, it is free, and here is a tutorial. Beware that the assets can get expensive quickly though, and render times can be quite long even with a powerful computer.
Any size image will work, the game will shrink, stretch, and pan across images in whichever ways fit the screen best. Optimal size for 1080p resolution games is 2200x1238, or 1920x2160 for vertical images. JPGs are better because of their smaller file size, but PNGs work as well.
The names of the images do not generally matter, as long as they are in the correct folder. There are substrings that can be included anywhere in the image names:
By default, images will be used for game states where the player is not playing (in between rounds, or already folded
_playing anywhere in the image name means the image shows the player in-game, holding their cards. The game will prioritize these images mid-round when the player has not folded. These should make up most of your pictures to make the game more immersive.
_maybeplaying means the image does not clearly show whether the player is holding cards or not, and can be used in either situation
_drinking means the image shows the player with their drink. It will be shown any time after a round of drinks is bought, until the drink runs out. Should usually be combined with _maybeplaying
_composite means the image is a 2200x1238 transparent image showing only the player and their shadow that can be overlaid on top of the location image to show everyone playing together. Combine with any of the previous substrings for best effect. Refer to the separate post further down on how to make composite images.
status_ at the beginning of the image name indicates that this is a status image that replaces the player icon to show their current undress state. It should be a square PNG image showing only the player over a transparent background, and does not need to be very large. 240x240 should be plenty.
