OVERLAY: Wheelchair - Disabilities

OVERLAY: A wheelchair. Just. Please. We can just use regular sitting animations, the wheelchair doesn’t have to be animated (although if that could be done, wow, that would be amazing). So many people use wheelchairs, it’s a shame not to have one when it would be just as easy as a chair to create.

In the push for diversity, I feel like people with disabilities or otherwise just unhealthy bodies have kind of been overlooked. Letting stories represent people with disabilities is long overdue, honestly. Especially since the current contest has an image of a superhero in a wheelchair, but creating that kind of character just isn’t an option.

(You’ll be seeing a lot of these threads, as I have a list of suggestions. Please like each of them so we’re more likely to get this representation!)

What if it was more like a prop that could be paired with the sit animations?

That’s what I was thinking!
Because on the story im working on now, I need a wheelchair for a hospital scene, so I was going to use multiple overlays to make it happened
But I had that thought, it should be a prop

This is such a good idea! It would be so helpful in many stories! And I agree with what you said, It would really make stories more diverse!

I agree. Thinks such as hearing aids should be added to the wardrobe (in both INK and LL) and things such as wheelchairs and oxygen tanks should be added as props with respective animations (ex. movement with wheelchair and pulling an oxygen tank)

I’m glad you agree! :slight_smile: If you have time, please go like the posts for the items you’d like to see. Otherwise this is unlikely to be implemented.

I support. Some users have custom wheelchair overlays but if it was officially released, it would save so much time.

Found this on a free PNG site, hope it works for you but if not you can always look for your own overlays on places like pngtree.com or google " wheelchair illustration" or “wheelchair vector” etc.

This would be really handy!

Bumping this! Btw, has anyone got any ideas how I could do it with overlays in a Classic story? There is no sit animation, so unless I zoom or have the legs out of scene, it’s really difficult. It is something I want to implement, though.

SUPPORT!! we never get anything with disabilities, it makes me so upset :frowning:

Look at him. He’s excited about disability props.
