Could we finally get the preview option?

Pretty much the title. I want to have an option to see how the item looks before i craft it for a lot of mats, pls ZOS! Not to mention the style changing of crafted/finded items.

    I would love this. That little shady icon they show does not do you any justice! I use that eso fashion website, but it's harder to envision mixing and matching armor styles like that. I would love it if there was a preview option!

    Agreed, I do the same thing MizzBizz does and let me tell you it can become time consuming keeping windows open, jumping back and forth, and trying to picture how the gear will look together. Pretty sure too this has been a requested feature since beta.

    Agreed. I shouldn't have to squint my eyes to see the tiny icon they display or go to a website. Sucks to craft VR16 gear that ends up looking like junk.

    Just like in Skyrim. I want to be able to see the in-game model of an item in the crafting interface before I craft it.

    So much agree.
    As it is now, I would be lost without eso-fashion.com! I have often made pieces I thought fit together, only to be terribly disappointed, and have to make the items again in another style. This is time consuming (not to mention expensive, tedious, annoying, etc...) for people who like to put a lot of effort into their character's appearance.

    This would be brilliant, I've wasted many materials making items I thought would look good on my character but ended up looking terrible. Particularly when mixing different styles, eso-fashion doesn't really help when you do that.

    Seems to me the basic preview code is already in the game, since we can preview crown store items, as well as character creation and character selection. This feature has often been requested. Throw us a bone!

    This was badly needed before a single piece cost 100-200 mats to craft. Now with the crazy materials grind and all the new motifs it has become absolutely critical.

    This is something gw2 has mastered perfectly.

    You can do this at the bank and mix and match and preview everything at once along with weapons and dyes.

    When I came onto here I was extremely dissapointed knowing every armor I make I kinda need to guess.

    Sure this chest piece and legs might look awesome separate but together they are awful. This would be a major update that many players wouldn't care if this was an update itself with

    Yes, this has been requested many times since ESO launch and presumably before in beta. The little pictures are hard to see and they're for male characters anyway.

    The preview in Skyrim was good, but it was really just a large 3D model of the armor, not how it looked on your character. So, a preview like the Crown Store, as previously mentioned, would be better. Not sure how they'd do a preview of multiple pieces at one time, which is what we'd need to be able to see how a complete set of matching or mixed pieces would look. But, even a preview of the piece you're trying to craft would be helpful.

    I would be more than willing to even make v14/15 gear sets to try them out, but dang, some of the style mats are way too much to waste on a tester outfit.
