Like, I need instruction on which kinds of heads go for which kinds of faces, which eyes, and so forth. Anyone wanna start posting their opinions? Actually, I don't want this to turn into a flame war, so if you really know, "this one is for big chins and this is for fat people, this one is for kids" then start posting THOSE opinions. If you really have no clue, don't bother.
Feel free to add your little tidbits and such in there like, I don't agree or something or "what if" stuff.
I'm really lookin' to make my Miis look like actual people. If we generate a good list, we might actually be able to put a face to each and every eye, hair, noes, and the like so then making Miis is a lot easier and a lot more fun where you don't spend 2 hours trying to get it just right and realize then that you have to go back and change 10 other Miis you made incorrectly. I mean, all the Miis should look remotely the same in the aspect or size and proportion.
Btw, on the height and size scales, anyone wanna put in measurements? I would say the tallest should be 6'4" and the smallest something like 3'. Remember, you have to account for kids and younger people to also be joining. I know some people that are over 6'4", but on the scale on Wii, I think 6'4" actually looks like the tallest Mii figure.

If you have a photo or something that might help you pick better bits and pieces. I have trouble picking good eye shapes. Most other parts are easy for me.

And I want to know who keeps making the evil dictator Miis. Saddam and Hitler have both shown up in my parade, and Saddam was bowling next to me yesterday
lolBack on topic, for a starting point, I think there's something to be said for making sure your eyes are in the right spot on the head. In general, peoples' eyes tend to be right in the middle, between top and bottom I mean. Also, take a good look at your eyes in a mirror. What shape are they? Are they squinty? Wide? Large? Beady?
Find the basic shape for your eyes, then adjust the size and rotation from there. This rule can be applied for the other parts as well.

I couldn't get the lightning scar, but the rest is pretty accurate, down to the Gryffindor Green. I think ShaolinKilla made the Mr. Garrison one, though I could be wrong. Miis are fun!

Oh, I see now that the original poster was worried about scaling people correctly and whatnot...me, I'm not that worried about that. I'd rather be playing Zelda than making sure my Miis are all to scale.
I took mid-size to be something like 5'6" and went from there.

Maybe we should have like a "make a Mii for me" thread. Post a photo, get a Mii!
I did that for knowsnothing....I don't think he was very pleased with the results....

I recommend doing hair last in case in flops down over the face
Funny thing is, I can do real people real well, it's cartoons and stuff I can't do.....I tried to do South Park kids......They sucked

Then making stars sort of got boring and i started taking artistic merit to fool around with the system. Now I am creating weird freaks~!
Freakachu (this weird freaky guy with pikachus face and demon horns coming from his head)
Upside down man (this guys head is upside down but ontop of a normal mii body. . . .
I play around with the Mii channel about twice a week and will be adding more miis to my collection as it grows. If anyone is interested in any of these check out my code in the forum and hit me up with a pm and ill add you
. I still want to make my Julia child

I think the eyes are the most important features to perfect. Eyes and getting the mouth similar has been key for me.

- actual red hair. My brother-in-law has red hair and I had to give his Mii light brown hair cause there's no red.
- I'd like the ability to have no nose, cause I tried to make the powerpuff girls (yes, I know :| ) but they don't have noses, I had to give them tiny ones and it looks silly.
- also more mouth and nose options in general. There are a lot of eyes to choose from, but hardly any noses and mouths.
Any other options you guys want?

QuoteTry moving the nose so it's hidden behind the hair/eye/mouth/etc.

Thinking up more characters that are feasible to make with the Mii limitations is challenging.

As for Mii creation...it depends. If you are trying to create something different, it is all a matter of forming a system and just working on it.
If you are trying to make somebody look exactly like somebody else it gets harder. The system works if you are creating your friends and people you know, because when they are actually using the character it reminds you of them more. Famous people and such are harder to develop and design, because you don't really associate with them.
I am personally running out of ideas for freaky Miis, but it is ok, because I have collected over 75 Miis to begin with and once I hit 100 I am going to have to do some sorting...and I don't want to do that.
When I create a new Mii, I start from scratch with a bald head. I think try to pick the eyes first and then brows, and then nose and mouth. I find the eyes are the most important aspect of getting the Mii right, everything else is secondary.
