So is anybody working on a dnamaker for Crusader Kings II?

[Cidellus]

Title states the question. CK2 has an amazing portrait system compared to CK1, and I had a hell of a lot of fun messing with portraits in CK1. XD

For those of you unfamiliar with dnamaker, it was a great program that modified dna for you with a nice little picture to accompany it as you did so. Was incredibly awesome.

A combination of the portrait viewer (available here), and this guide (available here) can work as a patchwork version of a DNAmaker. That said, a DNAmaker, or at least a portrait viewer for the other portrait types, would be most welcome. Hopefully someone is working on it.

I will give my firstborn to anybody who can code this for us

It would be incredibly helpful. I've gone through many hundreds of characters to find half-decent portraits for some historical characters among randomly generated ones.

That is DLC material - I would gladly pay for that.

I actually began working on one on and off, but got fed up with trying to find a way to load the game's DDS image files using C# without requiring everyone to install a 3rd party redistributable. I don't know where to begin with custom writing something for that, so I'm kind of dead in the water at the moment unless someone has code for that or everyone is willing to download and install something else (such as the SlimDX redistributable).
