CHARACTER CUSTOMIZER TOOL

This was a project that I started to learn how to use an asset pack that I bought from the Unity asset store. The pack is called "POLYGON Modular Fantasy Hero Characters" by Synty Studios.

​

I purchased this pack so that I can use them in a future project that is currently undertemined. I know that I want my players to have the capability of customizing their character, so this project was born.

​

After purchasing the pack I was given a script that would make the character model randomly change what they were wearing and their colors. I took that script and modified it heavily to not only include the randomization, but also to allow the player to customize each and every individual component and color.

​

This project is still currently under heavy development, but ideally I would like to be able to save the characters that I customize so that they may be imported into a future project quickly.

SKILLS USED

GIT

In order to keep this project backed up in case of errors I am using Git as my version control software.

C# SCRIPTING

This project relies heavily on the use of C# scripting for the core functionality of the tool to work. The use of arrays and various logical conditions for each piece made this project more challenging.
