Overview

The Character Tab is split into distinct categories on the one tab to allow for easy actor editing. Each category will be covered in detail below, but to familiarise yourself with the layout of the tab, we have:

1. The Customize Panel, which covers the basic physical appearance of an actor as they appear in the in-game character creator
2. The Equipment Panel, which covers the gear that an actor has equipped as well as dyes
3. The Actor Panel, which covers the basic character information that all in-game actors share
4. The Model Panel, which covers the physical aspects of an actor model
5. The Extended Appearance Panel, which covers the in-game model shader parameters that changes how a model renders, allowing greater freedom of control over things like colour
6. The Load button, which loads user-made character appearances from a variety of sources
7. The NPC button, which loads NPC and Monster appearances
8. The Save button, which allows users to save custom character appearances for use in the tool
