This might be one of the best ones I've seen yet.

Oh man, I remade my Pathfinder and I'm SUPER happy. More prominent cheekbones averted the 'weird slope' issue I was having and I'm super glad how he looks. The cheekbones are slightly 'sunken' but I think it works and it avoids the weird shiny lighting issue I see so often.

Bioware needs to put up the website to download other faces. Man I need your custom Ryder in my game

without a doubt the best I've seen. Bravo.

As a matter of fact, I think I'm gonna steal this for my playthrough. It's so damn good.

Nice night for a walk eh?

Question as I'm perusing this thread. Are there longer hair options for bro Ryder? Was hoping to have him rock some locks.

Wow good call on that ... and I'm kind of thinking you have a HUGE collection of Gyllenhaal GIFs to have at the ready. lol

Setting the "Outer Iris" to black -- or at least a much darker colour -- fixes some of the glassy RealDoll™ creepiness:

Not all, but some. The eyes still roll and dart around like they're trying to escape during conversations though. smh.

This is pretty good advice. I'd be careful with pure black, depending on the actual iris color you want (it makes my 'medium/light' blue look a bit odd, for example), but at the very least go with a darker shade.

In other words, been having some pretty good luck (still tweaking minor things, so no pics yet) with this template for Sara from Reddit:

Very nice. I saw another one made with preset 5 on reddit that looks really good.

She reminds me of someone, maybe a bit of Aubrey Plaza in there?

Oh, awesome. That settles it, my Ryder family has got to be Asian.

This is the first non-Asian one I could see myself playing as.

 

[John Petrucci]

Since I got really positive feedback here for Asian bro Ryder Jin Young, I'll try to re-create him for you guys. Thanks for the compliments.

The thing is once you get in ballpark, you can kinda adjust to your liking. Hopefully isn't hard to get back to his general vibe

Nice work, would you happen to have the sliders?

OK guys that liked Asian bro Ryder, just tried recreating him. I think I got pretty close, but you may want to mess around with some settings here and there. Maybe you'd like more eye width, height, or depth, less jaw and cheekbone craziness (comparing the two now I might back off a bit on those two things on the re-creation), extend chin a bit etc...I don't think it's a perfect re-creation, but I hope some of you can find it usable.

Here are the sliders. Have fun with the eye color, tattoos, scars and all that

Preset 4

Skin tone - 0.05

Brow Height - 6, Brow Depth - 12

Cheek Height - 18, Cheek Width - 7, Cheekbone Width - 18

Chin Height - 18, Chin Depth - 19, Chin Width - 15, Jaw Width - 19

Eye Height - 4, Eye Depth - 10, Eye Width - 15

Lip thickness - 9, Mouth Height - 16, Mouth Depth - 10, Mouth Width - 15

Nose Height - 3, Nose Depth - 7, Nose Width - 14, Nose Size - 8

Hairstyle - 7, black

Edit: Sorry for double post.

 

[Cimarron]

I really hate the character creator in this game. Why does daddy Ryder consistently come out looking the best? To tell you the truth I wish We were playing as him instead of one of the twins.

 

[Rellik]

Good stuff from John Petrucci (again)

Thanks buddy

Love helping people with CC's. Wish I posted the sliders for my first Ryder. I haven't been able to top her with any of the other presets yet.

 

[panty]

No Ghost Ryder?

 

[Forceatowulf]

John Petrucci is the real MVP

 

[mikemandey]

The game is already unlocked for me.. The character I created on trial was good in character creation but looked derpy in game. So I decided to discard my trial character and create a new female Ryder.. I think she's decent now

Looking great there next to Cora. Awesome job. I like the calm brown eyes. Deep brown eyes can help make videogame characters look so much more real as tempting as the exotic looking blue and green eyes often are.

Looks pretty good! I am torn between a blond caucasion female and a black haired asian female. Still looking for a good Scott though. (Although the asian one above seems pretty good).

Yooo, where'd you find that cool orange space helmet? Preorder bonus? Haven't found that in the game!

 

[John Petrucci]

Does anyone think Bioware will update the Cc with more depth and options?

There has been a tweet or two by Mike Gamble (I think?) that says they're looking at it currently. Sounded like it was a definite possibility. Seems it might just introduce more facial animation bugs though, which means it could be a while. But what do I know...just kinda thinking out loud.

I hope we get more options and soon.

I like German Sara That ponytail looks great on her.

Edit: Oops double post again. Last one I promise.

(Although the asian one above seems pretty good).

Maybe just try the sliders and improve on it for your liking

He animates pretty decently and matches the VA nicely. I'm going to be sticking with the original one I made of him. For a while now I've usually chosen female protagonists 99% of the time in Bioware games(probably since DA2), but there's something about the story/setting of MEA that makes me want to try Bro-Ryder for my first full playthrough. Probably also that I want to

Spoiler

romance Cora

 

[Noisepurge]

Got a fine Ryder right outta the gates, ingame animations are fine too

 

[GavinUK86]

After 3 restarts I've finally designed a Ryder I love.

Most tweaks are very subtle but I think they make a massive difference once you get in game.

I can post the numbers if anyone wants them.

And +1 for anyone who recognises the name.

 

[Barrow Roll]

This is the first non-Asian one I could see myself playing as.

She looks Eurasian to me, but maybe I'm just seeing that in her because I'm Eurasian myself.

 

[Schlorgan]

Tried to recreate this one.

Not too bad:

That looks great. Dialing in an Asian female or male seems to work well.

I managed to recreate her, it was close.

Brow: 7, 11
Cheek: 15, 8, 11
Chin: 14, 14, 7, 7
Eyes: 4, 6, 11
Mouth: 6, 6, 8, 2
Nose: 4, 8, 11, 10

Both of these are pretty good. My girl will probably look similar when I get this game.

Came out pretty good I think.

What are the settings for this?

 

[ironcreed]

It's funny. You see all of the goofy characters that people are posting and think the character creator is going to be awful and then look in here and see one fantastic looking character after another.

It's funny. You see all of the goofy characters that people are posting and think the character creator is going to be awful and then look in here and see one fantastic looking character after another.

But there's really only 2 heads per that work as a good base. The CC is downright sad.

 

[John Petrucci]

I think there are around 5 good female presets to work with. I would agree that there's only a couple for males.

Thanks!

Very welcome!

Thanks. Bioware did a good job on the Asian shaped eyes in this CC, for sure.

Kinda like the look of my asian Sara Ryder in the Scavenger set. Even though i bet most asian Saras pretty much look the same with how little you can edit in the CC. lol
