Blank
- To the upper left menu: File > New Character > Blank
A blank character is a complete blank slate of a character with as little assets as possible, using default body parts such as Canine Head Model, Generic hands and not having any assigned gender. This is also generally the most common way to start making a character.
The rest of Character Creation guide also will assume creating a character from blank.
Templates
- To the upper left menu: File > New Character > Templates > [Select one]
Templates give you a head start in your desired character. They come with assets already made and placed for you to re-arrange and do as you like. An example is a Leopard character already having decals placed on their character that you can then re-use and re-arrange to better fit your creation.
Derivative
- To the upper Left Menu: Cloud > Open/Home
- Select a character in [Characters] Cloud window and Load them
Deriving an existing character from the cloud is a more complicated way to be creating a new character, and as such is not recommended if you are completely new. You will be working with a character whose methods are based on the creator, so you will have to be investigating into the characters settings, masks, layers and such. But do know that this is a viable and accepted method for creating a new character. Just be sure to follow a good etiquette when deriving someone else's work.
