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 Image
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."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portrait_…
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:

GPose Guide: Group Posing

Have some friends visiting? Maybe a themed event? Or maybe your static got World First?
That moment deserves to be remembered, so let's learn how to give everybody an opportunity to shine - together!

#ffxiv #gpose #gposeguide #gposers
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

A short GPose Guide: Action & Narrative

Eorzea is a living, breathing world, and our WoLs' stories are part of it. Here are some tips - some, borrowed from real-life photography - that'll help convey their actions and stories!

#ffxiv #gpose #gposeguide
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.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Photog…
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)!

So grab a coffee and let’s how to do this!

#ffxiv #gposeguide #gposers
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.
You can learn more about the broader meaning of texture mapping with this handy video:

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.

#ffxiv #gposeguide #gposers
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.
