Customizing MAQETs with Our Online Character Designer
We wrote this tutorial with our Valentine’s Day T-shirt bears in mind, but it holds true for other holidays and regular old days alike. You can find all DIY MAQET characters in the Create Your Own area. Below is a brief tutorial for making your own special 3D Valentine. Of course, it doesn’t have to be February 14th to tell that special someone you love them!
Choose your Valentine: pink or green!
- Click here for Pink bear with white T-shirt.
- Click here for Green bear with black T-shirt.
The Character Designer will open. (For simplicity, we’ll use green in this tutorial.)
Click the paintbrush icon to open the online tools palette and begin customizing your MAQET.
You will see a variety of drawing and painting tools on a palette on your left hand side.
- Click on a graphic from the palette to select it. You’ll notice that the cursor changes to a stamper icon. In the example above, we’ve chose the “His-n-Hers” stamp.
- Mouse over to the position on the template where you wish to place the stamp. If you hover over the spot without clicking, the stamper will display a preview of the stamp you chose.
- Color is set to black by default, so if you’re using the black T-shirt template, you may need to change the color of the stamp in order to see it. To do this, just click within the rainbow on the palette and you’ll notice your color choice immediately indicated in the circle below.
- If the stamp is too big or too small, you can change its size by dragging the triangle underneath the size adjuster from 1 (smallest) to 10 (largest).
- When you’re ready, click your mouse to stamp the template. To use the stamper as a paintbrush, click and drag.
- Experiment with the tools and have fun! You can always click the Undo button to erase your last step.
