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. =)

Different palette tests for the guide card. The only varying parameter is the point light behind.

The original draft was roughly 3x longer: I had to cut it to the basics, or risk boring all of you. =) These are some shots for a session about monochrome/black-and-white shots.

It took way longer than what I originally thought to finish it because I can't stop wandering around for alternative poses. I only ended up using 15 out of 400+ shots.

And almost a third of these shots came from a single session in Ul'dah. The Sultana's Chosen had to escort our field team out.

These were some of the first shots I took when I decided to work on this guide, and they're still my preferred. Our bunny model looks so regal!

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

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!

[Difficulty: Savage, but worth it]

For this recipe, you'll need:

- 1(one) GitHub account
- 1(one) installed Github Desktop client
- 1(one) Game installation
- LOTS of patience

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:
