I also wanted to make sure there was very little ambient light present to add just a tinge more darks to the mix in tonal value. The goal when capturing a shot like this is to accentuate as many lines and features of the model while maintaining a darker, cooler feel you achieve this by placing the lights in some very interesting spots. Many thanks to Full-time Senpai for providing me the perfect model: Faust Horelus! Here, I am using the “PhotosmithFrey – Everglow” preset available there! As you can see, even without ReShade you have a really nicely lit shot to send to a computer for post-processing-or to share right away!Īnother great thing about nighttime shots is that you can get really creative with the Gpose lights! Placing each around your subject in various places can create a wide range of shadows (as you can see with this far more intense image of a brooding elezen). The final image displayed was enhanced with GShade-GPOSERS’ very own Reshade build.

From here, the image is ready to find the proper angle and snap! I toned down this light to “Type 1”, and also added a bit of warmth to it with the red slider. Remember to not make it too bright, as you want to preserve tone values and shadows on the model for an added level of realism. Notice the shadows now appearing across my model to the left after placing my source light. I used light 2 as my source light, and wanted to place it in the direction my model is facing. Having some colors helps to create a bit of value in the lighting across the subject I dropped the type down to “Type 2” to reduce the lighting on the platform that I’m sitting on, but still maintained a nice blue tint on the edges of my model. If a light seems to be a bit too much, the type settings and sliders can help! It is placed well, but it’s a bit bright. Let’s see what it looks like in the shot I want to take: I oriented my light a good deal above my model and turned up the blue slider. When you first enter Gpose, all the lights are set on brightness 3, and the sliders are set in the middle.

It doesn’t matter what order you place your lights, but for my process I always set my highlight as light 3 in the Gpose menu. I will use lighting techniques to add some dynamics to my model and set her apart from the background.įor this shot, I established my highlight first. For this shot, I’m going to enhance the moonlight and make it my highlight. In this case, it’s the moon! As you can see, it’s oriented behind me, and is casting a bit of blue light on my model and surroundings. So let’s break it down!įirst thing that I do once I pick a place to take a screen is hop into Gpose and find where the natural light is coming from. I wanted to create a nicely lit scene with a bit of diversity in the temperature of the lights used to create a warm, happy feeling-like sitting out at night and watching the stars. Ishgard has some amazing skylines, and the stars are magnificent. Now that we’ve touched on character lighting, let’s take a peek at a couple different shots! It can be set at any value between 0-100, and can be reached by opening System Settings > System Configuration > Display Settings, then scrolling down to character lighting.Īs you can see, the level of ambient light on your character is striking! For personal use, I often will set my character lighting between 0-35. Hello GPOSERS members and readers, Freya “The Photosmith” Bloodmourne here once again with another Photosmith Guide! Have you ever ran into this scenario: you get a sweet glam together you want to take to a location, but when you get there it’s nighttime? Night photos can be tough, so you find yourself either waiting for that beautiful sunrise, or attempting to Gpose anyway and messing around with the lights still feeling like your shots are better when it’s bright out? I’ve discussed lights before in a previous issue, but this time I want to show you a few images taken in the game’s amazing night and break them down step by step with tips and suggestions to get the most out of Gpose after dark! So-get comfy, turn out those lights, and let’s get started!īut First: Check that “Character Lighting”ĭid you know there’s a setting called “Character Lighting” in the System Settings? You can use this setting to add some brightness just to characters in a shot, no matter the lighting situations.
