How To Replace Characters' Clothing Colors? CreateStudio 3
Education
Introduction
Many users have been frustrated by the limitations of non-customizable characters in video creation software. While there are a handful of 3D character creators like Linka, which offer customization options for outfits and skin tones, many users still struggle with non-customizable characters. Consequently, this focus on a limited selection restricts the creative potential for producing varied and engaging videos. In this article, we’ll explore how you can unlock new opportunities by working with non-customizable characters and modifying their appearance, specifically their clothing colors, using CreateStudio 3.
Introduction
Hey everyone! My name is Ali, and in today’s article, I’m going to guide you on how to change the clothing colors of existing 3D or 2D characters. This technique is particularly helpful if you plan to use the same character in multiple scenes, allowing you to present them with a fresh look each time by simply altering their outfit's color.
Getting Started
Before we dive deeper, let’s check out an example of using this technique in action. It will help illustrate the myriad of possibilities available when you modify character colors.
Changing Clothing Colors
To begin, select your 2D character in CreateStudio. We will utilize the Color Replace effect to achieve this. Access the Effects and Components tab and scroll down to find the Color Replace effect.
Application of the Effect: Drag and drop the Color Replace effect onto the character.
Adjusting Color Settings: Upon applying the effect, the adjustment panel will appear on the right side, showing a note about the effect's functionality. The Color Replace effect can replace colors in various elements, not just characters but shapes and media files as well.
Setting New Colors:
- Click on Add Color to Replace to initiate the color-changing process.
- Select the old color by using the Color Picker tool to choose the existing color of the character’s clothing.
- Next, select your desired new color.
Fine-Tuning: Adjust the settings for tolerance, saturation, and brightness to ensure that only the clothing is affected. Be cautious not to exaggerate these settings, as doing so might impact the character’s body color or other parts.
Additional Color Changes: If you want to alter more than one clothing item, repeat the previous steps by clicking Add Color to Replace again to change additional colors as necessary.
Final Touches: Remember this effect can be heavy on performance; it’s best used toward the end of your project once you are set on finalizing your video.
Example Implementation
Now, let's consider a few characters we've modified:
- Teacher Character: Changed the jacket color from yellow to green, and adjusted the shirt color to yellow.
- YouTuber Character: Altered their sky blue shirt to orange.
- Grandma Character: Modified their top from yellow to purple and the bottom from pink to blue.
In each case, we carefully adjusted the tolerance settings to avoid affecting other areas of the characters while achieving a fresh look.
Changing Colors of Other Assets
This technique isn’t limited to characters alone; you can apply it to various assets within CreateStudio. For instance, shapes like pyramids and cylinders can also have their colors adjusted using the same Color Replace effect.
How to Do It: Simply drag and apply the Color Replace effect on the selected shape, choose the old color, and specify the new color as explained in character modifications.
Stylizing Shapes: By applying this method, you can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your scenes, ensuring that all elements match your desired aesthetics.
Conclusion
The abilities in CreateStudio 3 are vast, and while it may seem limited at first glance, experimenting with the software reveals exciting new possibilities. Don't focus solely on the negatives; instead, invest your time in mastering these techniques to maximize your creative output.
