Is it possible to use my own character illustrations and build state changes for expression and pose so they work the same way as those that come with Storyline2?
Yes this is possible. You can simply insert your character illustrations as images, and you can add custom states to an image. On the custom image state, just swap out the image that has Pose A, with an image with Pose B.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have further questions.
Hello, it seems Josephine didn't have further questions but I have one about the same subject...
I have inserted pictures of characters as states and I have problems when I resize the picture: Sometime it works fine, sometime the "state" character is not resized as I resize the picture.
I don't think I'm doing dfferently in both cases..
I have attached two slides with the problem on the second one...
I am unable to replicate the issue that you are reporting, but I would like to understand how you are adding your characters. Are you adding as shown here?
Thanks a lot for your response, and I apologize for not following-up, I did not t see it until I went into my profile. Sorry about that!
I use pictures, not characters, so it's not the process described above. When I add a new state I dupplicate the "normal" state and do "change picture".
Pictures all have the same dimensions (in cm), but I wonder if the the issue might come from inconsistency in their definition?
It looks like your file is using the built in photographic characters, so I'm not clear on how you're using the "change picture" option vs. just changing the characters state by adding in a new character or using one of the built in states.

Have you any idea where that could come from ?
Thank you!
