Working with pre-made images: You can visit http://c3softworks.com/resources/extras.html and download Avatar Objects, these object contain a variety of images you can add to help you customize the look of your avatars.
Q: Where can I load an image? Currently the only place you can add an image in the Character Builder is in the Headwear and on the Clothes within the Character Builder.
Q: Will BRAVO! convert my logo so it fits perfectly on a shirt or hat? unfortunately no, sometimes you may get lucky where your logos does fit and you can match the shirt color. But to get a logo or image to look the best, you can use our Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Flash templates for clothing and hats to line up your images so they look their best. To make the images fit the best on a shirt or hat, it is best to have the image sit on a transparent background like a PNG file or a SWF file.

In the image above, we have our Coffee University Logo sitting on a transparent background (checkered background), drag the layer from the Coffee University palate (1) to the shirt template (2). Resize the logo so it fits, use the guides to help you position the logo. Before saving the image as a PNG, you will want to turn off any visible layers in the template like in this case turn the eyeball off for the female shirt and the Podium (3), so only the logo is seen. Than save the as a PNG from Photoshop.
To load an image to Clothes:
- Choose a male or female character (you can not add an image to a special character).
- Choose a shirt that your logo will fit. For example in this image a turtleneck was chosen because it gave us a lot of real estate to help the logo stand out.
- Then go to your Load Image on the top of the page, and browse for your logo you created.
- Once the logo is loaded it will appear on your avatar. If it does not line up quite the way you like, make an adjustment in Photoshop or Flash, and try it again. To remove an image from the Clothes, click on the Remove Image at the top of your screen.

To load an image to a Hat (Headware):
- Choose a male or female character (you can not add an image to a special character).
- Choose a hat in the Headwear that your logo will fit on, you may have to experiment with the templates to get you image to look they way you want. For example in this image we are going to add the Coffee University Logo to a baseball hat.
- Then go to your Load Image on the top of the page, and browse for your logo you created.
- Once the logo is loaded it will appear on your avatar.
Think outside of the Box
If you are using a game to teach
and create a little competition try a sports metaphor.

In this example, instead of creating police uniforms to represent teams, we created a look of teams preparing for the big game/battle/match/faceoff. To get started click on Customize or New in the Character Builder.
- Choose a male or female character.
- Go to Clothes, and go to the second page of Clothes options (green arrow at the bottom of the page) and choose the jersey. Use the Change Color 1, and choose white for a color then go to the Change Color 2, and choose Blue (this avatar will represent the Blue team of course).
- We are branding these avatars in 2 ways, the hat badge and the text on the jersey. The text on the jersey was simply created using the Photoshop clothing template and typing in the text and using the Create Warped Text tool. To apply changes to the Clothes, click on the Save button.
- Then click on Headwear and click on the green arrow at the bottom of the page to go to the second page, and choose the helmet. Then change the color of the helmet using Change Color 1 to a blue.
- To add the badge (of course you can use any image), the badge used here can be found in the Avatar Objects.
- To load the badge or image, click on Load Image.
- Click Save to apply changes to the Headwear.
- To further the look of the "Battle", click on Facial Accessories and you can add a black and blue eye (male only) or the black paint under the eyes available in both male and female.
- Then do the same for each additional team.
