Custom portraits: how to?

[Artale]

I wanted to use a custom portrait, since I'm making an Orlan, but for some reason the portrait I pasted in the Portrait folders (both male and female) are not showing up ingame. Can someone explain how to set it up? I've read it's supposed to be PNG (which it is), but anything else that has to be done?

Steam>steamapps>common>PoE2>PoE2_Data>GUI>portraits>player.

Drag and drop the pictures into the male file for guy pictures and the female file for female pictures. I had custome portraits up in all of 30 seconds when I started playing yesterday! :P

As far as I know you have to put the pictures in before you launch the game, otherwise they don't show up. A quick steam restart for me made them all show up when creating a character.

The files need to be PNG, which yours is, and named correctly.

Larger one should be 210x330 and named XX_lg
Small one should be 76x96 and named XX_sm

XX can be anything, but they need to match on both files. (i.e. Proc_lg and Proc_sm)

Optionally you can also do versions to match the drawn style portraits in conversations.
XX_convo (90x141)
XX_si (76x96)

But those two are optional, like I said. If you don't have them, it just uses your normal portrait instead.

problem is that not everyone is good at making some watercolor ones.

Thats why its optional. You can completely skip that step and it uses your portraits like the first game.

Join my discord and I can turn screenshots into portraits. I currently only have one moon female, but am in the process of making all head variants from in game screencaps.

tips on how to add custom portraits to crew? I can get them for the hire page, but i cant get the small one to work on the ship management screen. I went to ships.gamedatabundle and changed the portrait name. just keep getting a white box and red x. Portraits are just saved as male_aumaua_g_sm.png for example. Double checked the size, not sure what else to change. Works fine when i change a portrait to one that exists in the base game, but not the custom ones

How do I get access to his discord? The link is expired and I would very much like to see whats going down...

1. Grab a free parchment background from the internet and put that as your bottom layer.

2. Make a new layer and put your portait on it.

3. Cut round the outside of your portrait (or use an alpha channel, both work).

4. Filter->Artistic->Poster Edges
Edge Thickness: 1
Edge Intensity: 1
Posterization: 1

5. Layer->Layer Style->Blending options
Blend Mode: Darken


That's it!
