One thing that’s been missing from the stylist for a while now is a way to rotate your character preview so you’re able to see what you’d look like from more than one direction! Since we’re working on adding the final haircuts now, we decided it’s also time to add that missing feature, and as such, we’ve spent some time trying out various interfaces showing you how to rotate the preview:
Right now our current favourite is the last one. Which one do you prefer?

Since this haircut is super wide we needed a version of it which can be used when you wear a full coverage hat as well, made here below:
As for this one, we felt we wanted to show the bangs on the side a bit from behind as well:

In Teddy & Fred’s department, we’re mainly still focusing on the Grindea fight, but some other animations and cutscenes are made here and there. Here, let’s the a look at one of those, the activation of the portal that will take you to Grindea’s realm:
I love the last design for the rotation UI too!
