Is there a Dream Avatar creator? o:
Just wondering~ I'm new here.

[Tiva]

No there is not, and there are no plans to create an official one, if you want to look at items you could look through the item guide in Trisphee talk.

[Demonskid]

As Tiva said, we don't have one and will not be making one. BUT users are free to create one them selves if they can. :3

Awww D: I might try when I'm absolutely not busy. xP

It is a lot of work, and it will ruin avi contests....

So many people ask for them, though, that I would really like to see somebody make one just so we can finally say "Yes, it's over here" instead of "Nope, make it yourself if you want it so bad."

it would make things so much easier if we had one. ; n;

Not sure how that works...?

No, she's right, if you can submit a dream avatar to an avatar contest that takes the collecting aspect out. Harming the drive to collect items is one reason I don't want to offer one ourselves.

It would also mean that you could use a huge amount of rare items to make things, and then all of the avis would be super expensive to make.
Like if you used a whole avi of just companions. 12k a piece (roughly based on a sale done by Obbie recently) times say 12 (4 wings of lunae's, 1 aura in lunae's, sparkles of Fenrir's, the dress, shoes, make up, and sash of Lunae's, the veil of Fenrir's, and Zepher's obi) It would be an awesome avi but it would cost 144k for just those 12 items not including what else you could add in.

But I can already do that. >.> [/irrelevant]
There's two sides to it. Some people have a lot of items and have a huge advantage in avatar contests over newer people who might only have commons. A dream avatar creator puts everybody on a level playing field and forces people to be more creative with things like layering and color coordination. But I do see how it reduces the drive to collect multiples of rare items. If you don't wear it yourself and don't need it for a contest, there isn't much point unless you want to sell it later.

[Tiva]

Lucid you are one of few...

I was on a site where one of the Omni-mods would get on a mule with all the items and take requests as to what people wanted to see. You had to fill out a form and there was a small fee to get a 'Dream Avatar' this way - and all the proceeds went to an item raffle ~ If you had paid for a 'Dream Avatar' you were automatically entered, you could also purchase tickets.

It's extra work but people seemed to like it. It also put more older items newer members thought were impossible to get - into the system.

Just an idea.

I have to throw this out there...

As a new user, I feel incredibly disadvantaged on this site. Not only is there in incredible amount of items, it's pretty much impossible to keep track of what poses belong to which items. Having a small inventory, and therefore a limited amount of poses, I get pretty bored. Even with questing items, I'm unaware of the possibilities, really. Sure, I like the items from this bundle, but what items can I get that will go with it? What colors do they come in again? And commons... I'm still trying to figure out what some of the common items offered are. I've gone through all of them and have looked at all of them, but I can't remember.

For me, dream avatar systems INCREASE the want for items by allowing me to know the possibilities. Collecting the items wouldn't go down, I think. If the only reason you're collecting items is to make avatars for contests and not to actually use, people could always hold 'Inventory Only' avatar contests, in which contestants would be required to save their avatar, showing that they have it. The host could then save a picture for proof or just have them wait until the end of the contest. They could then just click 'revert' and go back to their old avatar.

I really like the items here, and the people, but not having a goal to visualize takes away from my motivation for this site. =/ Then again, that's just my point of view. ^-^

I don't disagree, but I believe that the appropriate place for such a feature is on a fan-run site, not on Trisphee itself. There are too many maintenance issues with keeping a dream avatar editor separate from our main editor, and this is actually the MAIN issue; everything else is secondary.

[Tiva]

Numb we have an item guide where you can see every pose of available item.
