Mii Editor Blog

The new Mii Editor is now live. If you have used the Mii Editor before you may need to clear your cache as older assets will prevent the editor from working correctly, though I hopefully have resolved that issue in this update (?). Other updates include:

• Lip colors (finally!)
• Updated an eye icon
• Lowered freckles
• Character is now in full view on the first "General information" tab
• Versioning is available on the main File screen
  
• Updated the Image Export
• You can now export as PNG(!)
  
• Background color can now be set and can be transparent for a PNG export
  
• The Mii can be zoomed in the view using the Zoom slider
  
• The Mii can be moved in the view by clicking and dragging in the view
• The downloadable AIR version of the Mii Editor has been updated to this version
• It now supports drag and drop for Mii binary and XML files
• File uploads for XML should now work for the AIR version as well

The drag and drop feature I implemented litterally this morning, so it may not be 100% - and to be honest, I didn't really test this build much at all so there could be potential issues. Anything found I will try to update as quickly as possible, just let me know.

What am I working on? Currently I'm redrawing the eyes. Right now they're a little off and this update should fix their sizing and rotation issues. Given that there are 4 pages of eyes, this may take a couple of days.

After that I will get back to the hair, adding highlights and redrawing/repositioning where needed. I may also go in and take some creative liberties to make sure they fit ok on all head shapes.

After that will be mustaches and lip coloring followed by tweaking to finalize the preview.

After that, I will probably add final touches to the interface and push it as a 1.0 release.

I think following that I will probably create a Flash 7 version of the preview (not the editor) allowing it to be seen on the Wii. Hopefully, this downgrade won't be too hard.

Updated the mouths. These are a little more refined. Color, however, has still not been implemented. Mouth (lip) coloring is pretty subtle and I have yet to nail down those subtleties and figure out what color is applied where and how much.
