Create Your Own Species! (SEE DESCRIPTION)

I have created a programme which does everything this tutorial does and more with much less effort. This tutorial is effectively obsolete. Here is the guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3565816810 Add your own species portraits into Stellaris This mod is a template for you to create your own species portrait and class. Add whoever you like... your favourite character, a famous person, or even... yourself. Not Achievement compatible. 1. Preparing to begin To create your mod files, open the Stellaris Launcher, go to the 'All installed mods' section. At the top right you will be able to upload a mod. To go to the mod (on my PC at least): "C:\Users\Usersname\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod". Subscribe to this mod and it will show up in all installed mods. Click the three dots to the right of this mod, click 'Show in folder'. Copy the files (apart from the descriptor) into your new mod. 2. Creating the portrait images I create my portraits using www.getpaint.net. When I've found a photo I select how much of it I want then go into Image -> Crop to Selection. I will then resize the photo: the four portraits I have included display different sizes, 300 pxls high, 320, 340 and 360 for reference. I use the Eraser on full hardness to erase most of the background of the photo, creating a rough outline. I then turn down the size of the rubber for more precision. Then I turn down the hardness to create a small blurry outline. Throughout this process it may be helpful to create a black layer under the picture depending on its colours. Save the image as a DDS file in gfx\models\portraits\insert_name, then repeat for other images. I like to have at least 12 different images in a portrait group for variation. You can rename the 'insert_name' folder to whatever you want as long as it doesn't overwrite a vanilla folder. I suggest having the images be the same as the folder name with a _01, _02 .etc. added on so it will be simpler to replace parts
