Illustrated characters - modern CAN WE CHANGE CLOTHING
Hi everyone, I use Storyline all the time for story telling and love the illustrated featured characters. It would be really great if I was able to use them with different clothing as it would extend the use of them tenfold. For example, I need characters in casual clothing for meetings. Then out researching by visiting villagers, who again would be wearing casual clothing. Does anyone have a set of characters that will fit with the modern illustrated ones in storyline? Or have edited the existing ones so they have different clothing on?

Currently, Articulate Storyline does not support changing the clothing of built-in illustrated characters directly. However, here are some alternative solutions you can consider:
- Use Photo Editing Software: Export the character as an image and use tools like Photoshop or GIMP to modify the clothing. Once edited, re-import the image into Storyline. Note that this method results in static images, so pose and expression changes won't be possible.
- Create Custom Characters: Design your own characters using vector graphics software like Adobe Illustrator. This allows you to customize clothing, hairstyles, and other features. You can then import these custom characters into Storyline as images.
- Utilize External Character Libraries: Websites like eLearningArt offer a variety of illustrated and photographic characters in different outfits and poses. While these can't be added to Storyline's built-in character library, you can insert them as images into your projects.
- Request Feature Enhancements: If clothing customization is essential for your projects, consider submitting a feature request to Articulate. User feedback can influence future updates and enhancements.
By exploring these alternatives, you can achieve greater flexibility in character customization within your Storyline projects.
Hi Wendy,
Changing the clothing of characters is currently not possible, but I do understand how this feature could come in handy! I've passed this information to our product team so we can keep track of the demand for this feature. You can see how we manage feature request here. Thanks for bringing this up!
Also thanku.
