Is there a Copy Portrait feature so I can make my alts look identical?

Ok so....I have "searched" the forums and haven't found this thread. How can I copy my main portrait for use with a new alt? I have tried to re-create my portrait on an alt but can't seem to get it to look right.

Petition CCP to copy the portraits for you? Don't think there's a feature like you want.

In a SCI-FI game that promotes the use of alts, there is definitely a need for a way to create armies of clones.

I still desire a off-line character generator with import and export function with which we can create and trade character designs (for ISK) and pose them for contests (for ISK) and import them to our in-game generator if we match bloodline/sex.

It'd allow for content creation all sandbox style.

I've seen a few dudes who pulled that off. Not sure how they created this "Army of Alts" but:

If you check the sliders in the character creator and make a screenshot for them, you might be able to copy the settings?

Check the sliders? Ahhh....ok. I guess that could work on the coloring of my physical attributes and basic shapes but any click and drag that I did to the face doesn't show up on a slider. Unless I'm missing something.

It's just a guess, but I believe some of those folks might have used ISBoxer when creating their characters from scratch and "navigating" their facial bone structure and later portrait pose exactly the same. Although, it comes to mind the processing requirements of Eve's avatars and I wonder what rig would be able to support 10+ of those at once Lol

You could use ISBoxer to create identical alts.

ISboxer...uggg.....the problem is that I'm trying to recreate this incredible mug you see before you. I guess I'll have to just keep tinkering. I can't even see what the slider for my skin tone is currently unless I pay a plex for a resculpt.

Dear devs, please - either make re-sculpting free or add import/export feature to character portraits. Characters in constructor and within captain quarters look different, it's nearly impossible to copy faces, 150M isk (or $5) for every re-sculpting attempt isn't fun.

there is some crazy italian guy from the Pizza alliance or whatever their name is (the dudes that are pretty decent at using stealth bombers). One of them has like 10 accounts and plays with all of them at once. If anyone know that guy's player names again, might pass it on to this bloke as all his characters look the same. They all still look horrible but he knows how to do what you are asking for.

Log into SiSi (test server), buy a resculpt cert for 100 ISK (or a PLEX for 100 ISK and convert to AUR and buy a cert), then check your skin tone..
