			= Custom cameras =
			All races have their own cameras defined in the character creation level.<br />
			To have correct portrait generation and to have a camera that decently shows your race, you need to mod the character creation level.<br />
			Cameras use the RaceName in their name to know which race uses which camera. Copy over an existing camera and fill your race name in the camera's name according to the existing camera naming convention.
