Skyrim Info Screenshot Project

[LHammonds]

Much of Skyrim is still new and not much is posted in terms of "info" yet although we are slowly getting there.

 

One area in dire need of quality info are screenshots of the items in the game (armor, clothing, weapons, NPCs, etc)

 

I'd like to start a project to get a quality set of images to aid in the documentation about Skyrim.

 

So to start this off, we need to define what the "standard" will be so that multiple people can take certain areas of the game and make images that can be put together with the others and look as though they were all done by the same person (e.g. consistency)

 

In regards to standards, there will naturally be a division based on the content being captured...such as clothes and armor being quite different from weapons.

 

Things to consider are the location (e.g. background should be minimized and not distracting) which will yield the best result for all items, the end-result image dimensions (e.g. no larger than 400w x 600h), the end-result file size (e.g. no larger than 200k), how the items are arranged (e.g. armor to show front on left, back in middle and right side on the ride side of the image) and lighting.

 

Here are some rough examples (although quite poor in every way...its all I had available at the time):

 

Stormcloak Armor - Khajiit Male

Any thoughts, recommendations, volunteers?
