If you don't mind and have the know-how, would some of you take it upon yourselves to do a couple tracings for me? I wouldn't mind implementing code for a silhouette for each race/class/sex combo, but I don't want to do them all myself. What I did for the ones already implemented was:

1. Take a screenshot of the in-game character generator with the desired combo (character turned to the right by 25% or so).
2. Trace all the edges and black out the interior of the character. I think I just used the lasso in Photoshop.
3. Invert and delete the background.
4. Crop.

If you could provide an un-resized black silhouette, I'd appreciate it. PNG preferred. List of ones I need:

Blood Elf: Male Hunter, Female Hunter, Male Mage, Female Mage, Male Paladin, Female Paladin, Male Priest, Female Priest, Male Rogue, Female Rogue, Male Warrior, Female Warrior
Draenei: Male Hunter, Female Hunter, Male Mage, Female Mage, Male Paladin, Female Paladin, Male Priest, Female Priest, Male Shaman, Female Shaman, Male Warrior, Female Warrior
Dwarf: Male Hunter, Female Hunter, Female Paladin, Male Priest, Female Priest, Female Rogue, Male Warrior, Female Warrior
Gnome: Male Mage, Female Rogue, Male Warlock, Female Warlock, Male Warrior, Female Warrior
Human: Male Mage, Female Mage, Male Paladin, Female Paladin, Male Priest, Female Priest, Male Rogue, Male Warrior, Female Warrior, Male Warlock, Female Warlock
Night Elf: Female Druid, Female Hunter, Male Rogue, Female Rogue
Orc: Male Hunter, Female Hunter, Male Rogue, Female Rogue, Male Shaman, Female Shaman, Male Warlock, Female Warlock, Female Warrior
Tauren: Male Druid, Male Hunter, Female Hunter, Male Shaman, Female Shaman, Male Warrior, Female Warrior
Troll: Male Hunter, Female Hunter, Female Mage, Male Priest, Female Priest, Male Rogue, Female Rogue, Male Shaman, Female Shaman, Male Warrior, Female Warrior
Undead: Male Mage, Female Mage, Male Priest, Female Priest, Male Rogue, Female Rogue, Male Warlock, Female Warrior

Jesus that's a lot. I'll edit this post as we start knocking some of these out.

Should we... er... post here if we're attempting to tackle a few? Just so that effort doesn't overlap and get wasted.

I never realized this until working at 400% but gnome hands freak me out. :(

I like the visual indicator but... they stretch the page (vertically) a bit. Is there anyway we can turn them off without turning off all avatars? Or get them smaller?

sadly im at work right now with no wow installed, but using the wow model viewer with background turned to a pure green, then using select color range in photoshop and selecting that green color would speed up the process of making outlines a lot.

It's The King from the burger king ads.

And yes, it's really, really creepy.

I'm on the Night Elf ones. Hunter and Rogue silhouettes are identical though.

I also had this zany idea of making all males face left, all females face right. (Our left and right, not stage left and right) That's a pretty minor detail, but thoughts?

Left/right facing isnt a bad idea, and like, 3 key strokes away in ye olde photoshoppe.

So just in the starting gear? I look like a goober in that, even silhouetted.

why dont you use the wow modelviewer and add on some tier eq to all?
should go alot faster then this, and its easyer to get the silhouettes.

Worx with current TBC vertion. havnt tryed any tier sets yet,
probably wont either since I will drop into TBC when I get home from work.

I've been using the AdBlock extension for Firefox, which is relatively indispensable in cleaning up pages. I suspect that they'll probably add an option to turn them off soon.
