Some questions about the new Image creator
« on: February 15, 2016, 10:15:30 pm »

Hi. I'm working on creating some images to put on statues. I'd like to make an image of one of the gods doing something in my fortress, but I'm not sure how to select a location or government as part of a symbol? I'm not even sure if it's possible. If somebody could give me a quick run-down of how complex something can be in the image creator, that'd be awesome.

Well in some essences of the word, using the 'Historical Figure' option (and finding your desired entity) then assigning a action will achieve your desired result (gods are not 'animals' like you might find in the topmost category with clowns and other physical beings but they are figures)

Fortresses aren't really detailable objects, but dwarves are the next best thing to signify your civilisation if you need further detailing advice.

Quote
"This is a image of Ustush Stormrender, a hundred million dwarves, river otters and a goblin, Ustush Stormrender is surrounded by a hundred million dwarves, Ustush Stormrender is raising the goblin, Ustush Stormrender is torturing the goblin, the goblin is unaturally contorted, the dwarves are labouring, Ustush Stormrender is striking a triumphant pose, the river otters are laughing."

As a example.

For more techinical terms. If you use the d (designation menu) on a statue while it is in the queue to be made, you can determine the material it is made from and the image from there which will open the image creator menu
