Edited by Lukward Thomason, Colette Cole, Eng, Sean Zylow
Hi you are watching VisiHow and this is a tutorial on how to create custom characters in Soul Calibur V in the PlayStation 3.
Steps
- 1To begin, press the start button.
- 2From here, you need to go to "Creation". To go to that option, scroll down and press the "x" button on your controller once you've selected that option.Now you're in the main menu.
- 3In your case, this is going to be empty.As you can see, I have created several custom characters.
- 4The cards here will be empty, which can be seen right here in this screen showing right now.
- 5In order to create a custom character, you need to press "x" on your controller, on any of these new cards. When you select and press "x", you will see 2 options. You can create a regular character or an original one.There are several blank cards here.
- 6There will be some limitations, depending on the character you choose, but in the original character creator, you are free to use any tool and any equipment that you currently have unlocked. I'll just go ahead and press "x" on the control pad after selecting the original character option.The difference between the 2 options is that if you choose a regular character, then you are not free to modify everything.
- 7It doesn't really matter what you choose here because this is editable later on.Now you have the option to choose the soul of the warrior, which gives your character the ability to use its weapons, moves list, and so on.
- 8You can either choose a male character or a female character.You have 2 options.
- 9I'll go ahead and choose male since my voice is male.
- 10Please note that the strength of the character depends on the height and body build. I will go ahead and create a normal height character.Now you have the option to choose the height.
- 11You can choose a normal body type or a more built body type. I'll go ahead and choose the normal body type.The next window will show you 2 options.
- 12From here you can change various features of the body, equipment, weapons, tiles, colors and so on.Now you will be in the main window of the editor, called the "Creation Home".
- 13Select "body".I will start with the body.
- 14I'll go ahead and choose height.The options are height, face, hair, eyebrows and voice.
- 15I will set mine as shown on the screen. You can go ahead and choose your preference. Then press the circle to go back.In the next window, you can choose height, base body type, the size of the arms, forearms, pectorals, hips, thighs, calves, stomach, waist, and muscle mass.
- 16If you select it, a new window will open and give a selection of faces and then you will be able to go ahead and choose whichever one you like. I will leave it on face number 22.The next thing in the face.
- 17Select the hair by pressing the "x" button. A new window will then open.The next thing is hair.
- 18Of course, this depends on your preference. Don't worry about the colors. They can easily be changed later on. Please note that several new features of the face, the hair, equipment, and so on, will be unlocked later on as you progress through the game and gain levels. Let's go ahead and choose the hair.You can choose between the various hair styles for your character.
- 19Then we will go to the eyebrows and choose the type of eyebrows you wish for your character.
- 20Just go ahead and choose the voice type that you find more appealing than any other.The first thing that you may notice here is the voice type.
- 21You can raise it or you can lower it.You can choose the pitch of the voice.
- 22The same goes here. You can either raise it or lower it.The next step is tone.
- 23The next one is malfestation level.
- 24If there is no malfestation, you will hear the voice as you have chosen, but if you choose another malfestation level, then the voice changes a little.
- 25Press the circle.I will go ahead and choose this.
- 26Then press the circle again to go back to the previous menu.
- 27Choose "x" on the equipment option and a new window will open.If you feel that the body is already set, go to the equipment.
- 28It's either random, you can remove everything or choose from the preset equipment.By pressing "x" on the first section, you have several options.
- 29If you choose from the samurai, you will have a samurai.
- 30There is also a ninja option, and so on.
- 31I will just go ahead and remove everything.
- 32The first part of the actual editing is "hat equipment".
- 33Choose that option and then you can select anything that you like from here.
- 34Just go ahead and press "x" on anything that you like.As I have already noted, several new pieces of equipment will be unlocked as I progress through the game, so please bear in mind that not everything that you can see here will appear on your screen.
- 35The next thing is facial equipment.
- 36As you can see there are several eyepatches, sunglasses, masks and so on.
- 37You can just go on and select the things you like.The same goes with the other pieces of equipment shown.
- 38For example, if your character is wearing things like a long coat, and then you go to an upper body coverings section and select anything that will cover your body twice, like choosing anything similar to that, like a long leather coat, you cannot put a similar item on top of that.Please note that not everything is compatible with every other piece of equipment.
- 39If something like that occurs where conflicting equipment is chosen, the screen will display a message saying that the equipment conflicts with something already in use.
- 40So go ahead and change anything that you need to change and that's pretty much it.If you choose to remove the conflicting equipment, then it will be replaced.
- 41You can set up 3 pieces of special equipment to your character. For example, we can adjust this bolt to his head.The last 3 sections of the editor are specialised equipment.
- 42If you press "x" again while you have already selected the equipment, then you have a choice of either changing the equipment or adjusting the equipment.
- 43If you go to adjust the equipment, you can change the equipped location.
- 44As you can see, I'm changing the location right now using my arrow buttons on the controller.
- 45I will put it on the chest.
- 46If you move the horizontal line, you can see this bolt is moving on the horizontal line.Since this character is 3 dimensional, you can choose to equip this item in 3 dimensions.
- 47Now if you change anything on the vertical line, you will see it go up or down, and so on.
- 48If you change this, you can see it will either go back or forth.The next option is back.
- 49If you change the width of the item. You can change the width of the item as you choose.Next we see width.
- 50It is the same thing here. The length will adjust as you choose.Following that is length.
- 51Basically, the same idea applies.The last one is depth.
- 52These are 3-dimensional size and proportions.
- 53As you can see I am now rotating this vertically and the piece is moving with it.The next step is the rotation.
- 54Now we will move it horizontally.
- 55The last step is the angle.
- 56If you feel that you are happy with the current location and the size of the equipment, you can press the circle button on your controller and go back.
- 57Once more press the circle, and you're back to the main menu again.
- 58From here, you can change the weapons and the styles.If you press the "x" on the weapon and styles section, you will be brought to the next menu.
- 59The first section gives you an opportunity to choose between the weapons and styles of the preset exiting characters
- 60If you select it, then you can change to any other existing character.As you can see, there is Patroklilis here.
- 61Not your creations. I will go ahead and choose Yoshimitsu.Only the existing characters can be chosen.
- 62His moves lists are the same as Yoshimitsu.As you may have already noticed, the weapon and the stance of the character has changed.
- 63On the next section, you can change the sword or any other weapon.
- 64I'll go ahead and choose The Master.
- 65It has now changed and now the last part here is custom effect when landing an attack.
- 66Press it and choose from anything that you have unlocked already.
- 67Press the circle once more and you will get back to the main menu.
- 68Select that option and you will be brought to the next section. Bear in mind that there are 4 main sections in the colors and stickers and you can navigate through them using your L1 or R1 buttons.From here, you can change colors, patterns and stickers.
- 69The first section is the body color.
- 70It gives you the ability to change patterns on the skin.
- 71So we can make this character green like Hulk.
- 72I'll make it purple.Then you can change the color of his pants.
- 73Next is the hair section.
- 74You can choose to dye his hair.
- 75Next is the makeup choices, but since my character is wearing a mask, we can't actually see it.
- 76You can also change the makeup, sizes, angles and so on, depending on your preference.You can go ahead and choose any makeup that you feel that you like and then you can change the colors of the mask.
- 77There is also facial hair if your character has some. Mine does not have any.The next is eyebrows.
- 78This is the same process as before using the R1 and L1 to change the level of the color and using your arrows you can navigate to any color that you like.Then you can customize the color of the eyes.
- 79You can change any patterns on any of the equipment your character is currently wearing. For example, I will go ahead and change the color of the coat or apply new patterns there.The next section is equipment.
- 80As you can see I have applied a new pattern and from the next section, I can edit the colors of the pattern.
- 81I am just making all of this as random as possible. .Then you can change the size and angle of the pattern.
- 82You can flip the pattern horizontally or vertically, or why not both?
- 83You can also reset.
- 84You can choose where to put the stickers. For example, I'll go ahead and put a sticker on his T-shirt.The next part is the stickers.
- 85Then I will have 2 options. I can either place it by view or place it by axis.So I can go ahead and choose any sticker that is displayed here.
- 86I'll go ahead and place it by axis.The easier one is placing it by view, but the more accurate one is placing by axis.
- 87You can change it freely to any color that you desire.The next section is the colors.
- 88We have selected upper body here, but you can choose left arm, right arm, left leg, or right leg.The following section is the location.
- 89I'll go ahead and choose upper body.
- 90This is the first thing that the editor asked us. It asked if we wanted to place it by axis or by view. I will leave it like that.The next choice is the application method.
- 91Then you can move it vertically or horizontally.
- 92You can change its size.
- 93You can rotate it.
- 94You can flip it and so on.
- 95Once that you feel that you are ready, just press the circle button on your controller again and you'll be back wearing the same sticker.
- 96The last part is the color of your weapons and the swing weapon trail.
- 97If he swings his sword, then that will be the color that will be displayed.Now Yoshimitsu's weapon, particularly this weapon that we have previously chosen, has no editable color patterns so, we can't change anything here but we can change the weapon trail color.
- 98Press the circle button on your controller once more, and you will be back to the main menu.
- 99To shoot the picture, you first need to choose the pose of the character. You will see there are several different poses.Now you can shoot the picture.
- 100I will just choose this one shown on the screen.
- 101As you can see there is a preview on the upper right corner of the screen.You can then change backgrounds.
- 102These ones shown are the back frames, which are the ones that are in the background of the character.I'll go ahead and choose one.
- 103The next is the front frame.
- 104It will be displayed in the foreground.
- 105Lastly, just adjust the camera angle as you see fit and press "shoot picture".
- 106You have shot the picture now, so now go back using the circle button on your controller again.That's it!
- 107Now you will just input the name of the character.
- 108I will change it from "Custom 26" to "VisiHow Guy".
- 109You will see the name is there.Press start.
- 110The new character has been created.Choose "Finish Edit", by pressing the "x" on your controller and then choose the data slot selection and that's it!
