GPose Guide: Lighting 103 - Instances
Previously, we talked about gpose controls and how to use them in a controlled setting. But instances offer amazing places for scenario composition: so grab your backpack, we're hitting the Duty Finder!

One thing that may escape our attention when planning for solo shots is that it's very easy to use dungeons as backdrop: Newer dungeons benefit from Explorer Mode, while older dungeons can be entered solo by selecting Unrestricted Party. Both options can be found under Settings.
Raids, on the other hand, can be finicky. There's no Explorer Mode, but regular 8-people raids can be accessed with Unrestricted Party.
Some (I'm looking at you, NiER raids) have access points that you can use to jump into an empty copy of the raid instances.

Quick GPose tip:
You can use profile-relative positioned point lights to give volume and definition to faces and expressions. It's super quick to set up, and it cleans up jagged light projections too!

#NenekoColorS #GPOSERS #FFXIVScreenshots #ffxiv #GShade #gposeguide #gposetip
Just position the camera in parallel to the character's face, making sure you get the full profile, and set up the point light.
Now that you know the trick, here are some examples of this lighting setup - notice how defined the profiles look:

Did you ever lose your keybindings or HUD layout configuration?
Or maybe preset changes, or wish you could revert a preset you modified a bit too much?
Good news - we can use GitHub for backup!

*whispers an extra*
@FF_XIV_EN I logged onto XIV this morning and got wrongfully suspended for just playing PvP. My account, previously having no warnings or bans, got hit with a 10 day suspension for “manipulating matchmaking in crystalline conflict”. I have no clue what I did to receive this. 1/10
I worked really hard this season and all of the characters I climbed to Top 30/Top 100 have been removed from the board. The time spent climbing this season has been for absolutely nothing. I’ve been playing PvP since Feast season 14, and have never seen this happen before. 2/10
Heres an imgur album showing all the characters that have been removed off the board. imgur.com/a/52ZilWb I’m still shocked at all of this, I never thought I’d be banned for just playing PvP like I normally do. Just a horrible situation and nothing I can do about it. 3/10

If you don't know what this outfit is from, it's the FFIII Remake.
Which, in turn, is based on the original FFIII sprite for Devout, which has since been referenced several times.

Group shots have their own complications. It can be hard to coordinate a large group, glams can clash with each other, or be unbalanced in the way they draw attention, and lighting can be tricky to set up.
So what can we do?

1- Scene Composition
If you can talk with the group about positions, there are several that work well with minimal effort:
- Taller characters behind, shorter characters in front

1 - Narrative Shots
Susan Sontag, in her book On Photography, said: "There is the surface. Now think - or rather feel, intuit - what is beyond it, what the reality must be like if it looks this way."
A narrative shot tells a story at a glance.

In gpose we have several resources that can help us with that. The basics are expressions (a subgroup of emotes), gaze control, and lip movements; they can bring a character to life by turning the default doll-like expression into something truly expressive.
GShade guide: External Textures
External textures open up an amazing world of possibilities: think of different backgrounds, superimposed visual effects, or custom stickers (like logos or decoration)!

But first, what’s a texture? In short, a texture is simply an image, like a .jpg or.png, that you can load and use within the 3D space for different purposes. In broader 3D terms It often means the ‘skin’ you wrap a 3D model’s wireframe surface around.

GPose + Post-process guide: Diorama Shots
Let's use some light post-processing to give our shots that lovely toy-like feeling of a diorama!
We'll use GIMP for post-processing, but any image editing tool with support for layers should work.

This is an attempt to emulate the result of miniature effect/tilt shift, where a real place is made to look toy-like by clever usage of blur to simulate the loss of focus caused by the forced depth of field. The principle is explained here:
To further help with the feeling, let's use an isometric view. Quoting Gustavo Pezzi, it's "a method for visualizing 3D objects in two dimensions, but [...] we make the angles between the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis equal 120 degrees."

GShade Tip: Vertical Shots with VerticalPreviewer.fx
Pixels - the most expensive commodity in the Glamour universe. A considerable amount is discarded when focusing on vertical content. So let's reclaim them with the help of a GShade technique!

#ffxiv #gposeguide #gposers
A typical situation when gposing is to have our subject(s) centered on our screens. If you're preparing images for Twitter or Eorzea Collection, you may need to crop them, keeping only the center intact. That means that everything else is discarded.
One way to make better use of the screen real state is to tilt the gpose camera and get the viewport closer to our subject. That translates into a higher pixel count for the zone that really matters to us.

@MayaPurrrple Maya Purple Cocoon is part of the default GShade collection: You can find it under gshade-presets.
@MayaPurrrple The presets are implemented in two subgroups. Obsidian is focused on skin tones with some color component to it, while Shungite is geared towards pure grey skin tones. This example shows the Warm preset variants:
Some screenshots didn't make it to the guide, but I find them so pretty that it would be a shame to let them stay hidden in the backup. Hope you don't mind the spam. =)

1 - Posing in dark settings
This is where dark-skinned characters shine, pun intended. Point lights give a lot of flexibility, and character/environment lights are great tools to give volume and detach characters from the background.

In this example, 3 point sources are used to provide volume to the characters, without relying on character brightness at all. The Neneko Nikuman preset gives great brightness, contrast, and depth of field (DoF) options.

Gpose Tidbits: Avoid Twitter Crop
Leon often spends a long time positioning 16:9 compositions.
Leon also posts those on Twitter, forgetting that it crops to roughly 12:9 for visualization, and sighs as it mangles the shot.
Don't be a dumdum like Leon.

Luckily there's a way to avoid that if you use GShade.
By enabling CompositionFifths and CompositionThirds you can get a grid that roughly matches Twitter's display ratio.

Addendum: HOLD YOUR LUNAR WHALES! @adriftingtender provided an even better solution: Enable the AspectRatioComposition shader, and specify 12:9 as the aspect ratio; then, just crop the dark edges out in post-processing.

1 - Use supplemental lighting
You can use the 3-point light sources and the Character lighting setting to bring attention to the subject, making it pop from the background.

In the example below, Noemie is pretty dim against the background; so we position a yellow source to reinforce the sunlight, a blue source for the sky, and a cyan source for the pool reflection.
