Using custom characters for Scenarios in Rise
I've been playing around with the new scenarios lesson in Rise. They are awesome for scenario based learning with dynamic feedback. However the characters currently offered are kind of limited, specifically for my industry.
I really wanted to use custom characters in my company's uniforms. It may not be officially supported by Articulate, but swapping the stock characters for custom characters is actually pretty easy. I made this quick video to show you how you can do it too.
Reach out if you have questions.

Really cool stuff. What happens if you have to republish the course? I'm guessing it reverts back to the original images. Is that true?
- KarlMullerCommunity Member
Yes, when you republish the course you will see the original stock character again.

Hi, I was trying the same but in 'assets' folder from scormcontent, the Picture can only be opened, not able to export this to Adobe photoshop, guess this is restricted. I am using the Articulate trial version. Is it the reason not being able to do this or any other thing. Look forward to your help
Hi there, Khaled. Once you publish a course and have the output folders saved to your local machine, you should be able to work with those files like any other files saved to your desktop. The trial doesn't restrict your output.

Hi, thanks for making great video tutorial ! I have one question. I am trying to add one character, so should I get all the expression pictures to replace ?
- LouisaJames-56aCommunity Member
After I publish and open the scorm folder, I see the assets but they are just the icons without images on them. This is the only place on my computer that this happens. So it's very difficult to swap out when the only way to see it is to actually open the file.
