AppearanceTooltip
AppearanceTooltip shows you the appearance of items that you see, to help you know whether you actually want to obtain their delicious appearances for your collection. It does this by attaching a Model frame to the item tooltip, showing your character wearing the item.
It can also show an icon in various places to let you know whether you know this appearance or not. These places are:
- Bags (including various bag addons)
- Loot window
- Encounter Journal
- Merchants
The icon will be violet if you can learn the appearance on the current character, blue if you know the appearance but from a different item, and yellow if you don't know it but it's for another class.
Less importantly, it also improves the default UI so that the "You don't know this appearance" messages will appear on items which don't apply directly to your class! This means you'll be able to log into your Warrior, and tell that your Priest doesn't yet know this cool BoE appearance that just dropped.
It will also make alert popups appear when you learn a new appearance.
Config is in the Interface Options, or type /aptip
You can choose whether to:
- Show your character with your current outfit, or naked apart from your previewed item (how lewd)
- Zoom in on the item you're previewing
- Strategically remove some items from your character to show the previewed item (e.g. for shirts, remove your chest and tabard)
- Only show for items your current character can actually transmog to
- Spin the model / move it with the mousewheel
Addons integrated with:
- SilverDragon
- Inventorian
- Baganator (via its API, so you'll need to tell it to use it)
- Butsu
- Bagnon
- Baggins
- AdiBags - showing icons and offering a filter for unknown appearances

Posted Jul 21, 2016I think recent changes in the alpha version should have fixed the bow/gun and dual wielding issues. I'll push a new release out shortly.

Posted Jul 21, 2016Is there any way to have an option the preview of the item to be on a "naked" character?

Posted Jul 21, 2016There's actually a config setting for it... which isn't exposed yet, since I haven't added the config dialog yet. Next release will have it.

Posted Jul 21, 2016Very nice. You definitely weren't kidding when you said there's a bunch of configuration hidden away. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Good timing too.

Posted Jul 20, 2016I've been wanting this for a long time. Everything works great except I can't preview legs since I have a dress on my female nelf druid.
Thank you for creating this!

Posted Jul 21, 2016The current release version takes off lots of clothes, if they'll obscure the preview item... but not robes for trousers.
I had to add a bit of special-casing for robes, but the alpha version on wowace has this, now. So, next release!

Posted Jul 20, 2016Exactly what I was coming here to find! Good job!
My only suggestion is to be able to place the tooltip on the side because it hides the cursor when on a bag and/or to hide preview because I really just want to know if I have collected it in priority.
