The CC would initially just offer Human creation, presumably, then as they develop the game and start adding the Elves, Dwarves, more customizable options, etc - the CC gets downloadable updates for these features as they progress.
It's pretty much just a stand alone executable of a feature that is a part of the main game.
It would be much easier to accomplish these days, than the one for EQ2 back in the day. That one they had to wait till all the character creation aspects were finished and then shipped it out on cd to people who preordered the box edition.
Oh how times have changed!
P.S.
Love the idea for exporting 3D printable files.
Would love that feature!
The other two would just be extra bonuses.
Oh and, wouldn't 3d printing ourselves, affect intrepids franchise hopes for selling little models?
Personally, I would not be in to buying character merchandise so much but if I could order my own character 3d printed then my arm might be twisted.
But.. it is not as easy as it is shown.. it takes a bit of understanding, good subjects and some basic principals to get right.
The you can just drop your model into shapeways or other online printing companies for selection of material to be printed in and cost estimate.
If not it will probably come out with mistaken / guessed areas.
There are some editors that can do from video too!
Best results are obtained when either a blank background or a gridded background that stays static with the model so that there is a permanent "grid of reference* during rotation.
Your printable character by default sits/stands on a base with the words "Ashes of Creation" emblazoned on it. Also, website details will be found at the bottom of the base. Intrepid will forgo the model cash and earn a few more players.
