Adding your own character to a RIse scenario
Is there any way to add your own character to a Rise scenario? I don't think adding them to a background image will work well since the image it blurred a bit on purpose? I'd appreciate any ideas?
Thank you.

Any update on this?
I would like to be able to add my own characters and my own unblurred background. Our courses tend to have vector images, instead of photography style and have their own branding altogether.
I actually need this feature right now, but will need to pull out my Windows computer (that's a whole other story) to build it in Storyline and pull it over to Rise.
Basically, until this is updated, I am unable to use the scenarios feature in Rise.
Hi, there was a user that had a work around for this , I tried it out and it worked completely fine - you basically just had to swap out the assets in download.
This was it - https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/using-custom-characters-for-scenarios-in-rise
It is a bit of a faff though but you can see people have made it work (see Brian from ASOS)
Thanks Dan!
It's a great video and work around for some but, unfortunately I can't really use it due to our development timeline and process. I need I to show natively in Rise, so that when I send it out for various reviews (via 360) it shows in the course, not just in the SCROM package version.
The last person that mentioned the need for this feature was a year ago.
Crystal, any advance? also, how can I prevent the blurry image in the background?
Finally, how can I remove the character? so I can go around this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Miguel,
You can replace the background image, but it will always be blurry. The blurry background is the reason our organization cannot use scenarios.
The character can be replaced by another character but cannot be completely removed.
Hi, bumping this thread up.
Custom characters in Rise would be an amazing feature. I use Vyond for branded characters in video clips and gifs throughout my courses. Using one of the stock characters in Rise for scenarios is so jarring because they standout in a bad way from my branded stuff.
Is there any update on this being introduced?
Hi Howard,
While we don't have plans in the next 6 months to make this change, we're still tracking the request.
Hi there, has there been any updates on this? Our company wants to add characters made by our designers for scenarios so this would be great to have!
I have not seen any updates at all , this is still the best way from fellow user Matt, Using custom characters for Scenarios in Rise - Rise 360 Discussions - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)
Completely doable and looks great!
I need custom characters too.
Would love this feature too.
