Starter GPose hints: ChromaKey, transparent screenshots

Want to pose together with friends across data centers, or characters in the same account? Or maybe you just want a nice cut-out picture; transparent chromakey shots are here to save the day!

#ffxiv #gpose #gposeguide Image
You can achieve this with a combination of two features in gpose:

- ChromaKey2, a technique that generates a greenscreen; and
- "Take Transparent ChromaKey screenshots", a GShade setting.

The result is a screenshot with transparent areas where the chromakey effect was shown! ImageImage
(Make sure that the Chromakey color matches the 'Keying color' setting!)

Now it's time to combine images: You'll need an external program able to handle layers, like GIMP. You may also need to make some adjustments to make the colors look right. ImageImageImage
Transparent chromakeyed images can be used in several different situations! For example, I used some to make the GShade pipeline tutorial. ImageImage
What about reference cards for art commissions? Image
Or maybe stickers with your friends. Or Discord emotes. Or whatever strikes your fancy. The sky's the limit! Image

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!

#ffxiv #gposeguide #gposetutorial Image
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. ImageImageImage
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. ImageImage

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?

Ready? Let's do this!
Step 1 - Dude, where's my preset?

Let's start by finding where your FFXIV installation lives.

GPose Quick Tips: Portraits

It's time to put your Warrior of Light in the spotlight, so let's borrow some IRL photograph techniques and tips and adapt them to gpose!

#ffxiv #gpose #gposeguide #gposers
From Wikipedia: "Portrait photography, or portraiture, is a type of photography aimed toward capturing the personality of a person or group of people by using effective lighting, backdrops, and poses."

Given the nature of this theme, we'll be relying heavily on facial expressions. If you want to learn more about how to use the gpose tools for that, check out this thread:
