Title: Custom Race Images by Oriolus
Post by: Oriolus on January 13, 2024, 04:06:31 AM
The built-in race image set is of very mixed quality, with mismatched styles and the images are from uncertain sources. I therefore decided to create an alternative image set, with the following considerations in mind:
Drawing these by hand would have been a huge undertaking, so I called in Stable Diffusion - and with its assistance I managed to produce 300 images in a week. I am now publishing the set: anyone is free to use it. You can delete or archive the original images from the \Races folder and replace them with these. They worked fine in my tests, but let me know if you run into any errors.   

If I have time, I'll work on custom ships and space stations later.

Very interesting, thanks! I'll try these on my next campaign for sure.

Is there a need for images of spacecraft, stations and flags that match the above race portraits in style? Because I'd be happy to do those too, but only if there's a reasonable demand for them, as they're quite a job to make.

Yeah that'd be nice because as fun as fighting Space Albania Aliens is funny a consistent thematic style would be really nice.
