In General, don’t use pure white to highlight (unless the base colour is a light pastel) or use pure black to shade (unless the base colour is very dark or there’s no opaque shape underneath it). Knowing this will help with shading or highlighting (I promise).

Useful for making shadows.īlending out shapes: Have a shape that’s too sharp on one side? Place a blur shape right next to it in the same colour and opacity. This doesn’t happen if there’s an opaque shape behind it. Transparency (in colour details): At lower opacities, shapes will blend seamlessly into each other as if they were one shape. Exceptions: Glasses which floats even further above and Blush which sits right on the head’s surface.

The distance they can go beyond this depends on the shape and size. When placed near the sides of the head, shapes will warp to be slightly wider when viewed from the side.The black line is the furthest you can place the center of shapes. / Quirks of the Creator:Īll features are placed on a plane that floats slightly above and wraps around the sides of the face. Everything else is static, so if it’s something you want to always be visible (like scars), put it in Mask, Sticker, or Blush. The only thing in the “Eyes” feature should be the iris.Įverything in the Lips, Eyes, Eyelashes, and Eyeshadow features will move or disappear when the Mii changes expression or blinks. In game, Miis will sometimes look to the left or right. (Since I learned as I went, the layering on my older Miis may not be what I have here). This is important to make your Mii not just look good, but play good.

OG: anything made in the original switch Mii creator.

Iris: iris, pupil, eyeshines, and any fantastical variations thereof.

Shapes: The shapes from the menu labelled “makeup” in game.

Features or Layers: everything in eyeshadow, mask, etc.

Does NOT refer to brightness or saturation.

Hue: a colour’s place on the rainbow slider.

Most of my Miis are made just for the game, not from existing characters, so some of my advice borrows from the field of character design.

The line between what’s supposed to be “makeup” and “natural” is blurred-ex, maybe that’s lipstick and maybe it’s their natural lip colour.

My goal is to make them still look like Miis, just better. I don’t do anything that strays too far from the cartoon aesthetic./ My access code is 1CK3RPH ///įeel free to take them apart to see how I put them together.Having looked through the creator at least once will help you know what I’m talking about. …So I can feel like I spent all this time more wisely than I did.
