Screenshots in general

[Tamujiin]

Here is where you can look to get some tips on taking screenshots. This is not a how to. This is a what to do after you figured out how to thread.

 

First things first. Use the console key "~" and press tfc to toggle the Camera to free mode and use your default direction keys to move it around.

 

Like figuring angles correct cropping ect ect ect. Mozibby got me going on this subject in another thread and we went off topic.

 

post your pics and someone will give you advice i check the forums on a semi regular basis. Mostly every night when i get home from work and everybody else goes to bed.

 

The first advice i have to everyone is take your time and look for a good spot. My 2 favorites so far are fort homestead... ( outside of it ) and dive rock. Lighting is also essential.

There is a mod out there that lets you clear the sky or move time real fast by pressing the - and + keys on the numberpad. also if you use AWS there is a mod called AWS weather tomes to get the various weather effects. I might suggest the aws tomes over the - + mod. Good luck and happy picture taking. Also anything by the west coast is good for a sunlit background. Various mods also alter the sky, I highly recommend Cosmic night sky, and Beaming sungleam ( or glare cant remeber ) and imperial furniture for thos times when you need a little light and need to move it around.

 

I myself like taking pictures that say, a Fantasy artist Might be proud of. Whether it contains nudity or not. At times some might suck and at times some come out really great. I crop my pics too before i post themso the subject matter dominates the picture but isn't the only thing to look at.

 

But anyway. Please make screenies. There is a pinned section on how to take em. Now here is a section on What to do after you take em so they dont look like just a plain old screenie.

They can have the potential to look like great art. Examples..............

Looks like people are too busy taking bad screen shots of naked bimbos to care about taking better screen shots of naked bimbos or they would have made comments or asked questions by now.

Yeah it really fricken urks me. So much i am gonna not post any images for awhile, Build up a crapload and flood the image thing with like 50 of them.

Writing crap on some crappy ones and this is a good screenie on another so people get the point.

 

Seriously though whats the point of posting a good screenie, really. I think the next poll should be should they redo the image thingy so scanditly clad chicks can have there own section and other screenies have there own.

 

Or have someone seperate the crap from the worthy stuff. I look forward to what Mozzibby here has to say with his picks, some are cheesing fun and some can be serious.

But they have a sense of character. Not just some naked chick with a sword, which 90% of the time looks like a dude anyway because the way they pose em.

 

I could really go off on this subject and probably get banned so i am gonna shut up now.

 

People should, ( cant force em ) learn how to take a good screenie, ( even if it contains nudity. ) not the same old crap day in and day out.

 

BUT i understand the moderators position. I really do , and ill just say you guys are doing great, but please figure something out.

EDIT:

 

Actually what iam gonna do is start rating them and criticing them from an art point of veiw and be as honest as i can. Every night at 10:00 pm minnesota time. If its good it will get a good rating if it sucks i wont hold back. And my suggestion to everyone who hates the crap that gets posted here for images is please do the same. And if you disagree with me remeber its just my opinion.

OK, here are a couple of tips

 

To set the weather use the FW console command (it's easy to remember, FW = force weather

 

Paradise = 370CE

Clear = 38EEE

cloudy = 38EF0

Default = 15E

Fog = 38EEF

Overcast = 38EEC

Rain = 38EF2

Snow = 38EED

Thunder = 38EF1

Oblivion = 836D5

Change back = releaseweatheroverride

 

Example: if you want to have a clear sky, open the console and type FW 38EEE and enter. To change the weather back use releaseweatheroverride

 

If you are using a weather mod it will usually override your command, therefore if it is raining and you force a clear sky, it may only stay clear for about 30 seconds.

 

Next tip: If you have a favourable lighting situation and you want to preserve it, you need to stop the passing of time. You do this by using the SET TIMESCALE TO command.

Example: SET TIMESCALE TO 0 will stop the passing of time. SET TIMESCALE TO 30 will return it to normal. If you stop time it is very important to start it again when you are finished doing what you wanted to, otherwise it could really screw up your game. :cool:

 

P. S. you don't have to use capitols, the commands are not case sensitive.

The way I see it, if they're not good pictures, they're not worth commenting and rating on. After all, even a bad rating gives them a rating.

My own personal pictures I post, I'm not interested in the quality as much as the humor aspect. Granted, I still have some design. But my main objective is to give some people a chuckle. I really don't care if they get good rates. I'm more interested in the viewing numbers. That lets me know that people are looking.

When I see the thumbnail of a naked bimbo (usually centered in the picture) I don't bother to open it up to get a look at the bigger picture. Having been a professional photographer and published in books, magazines, brochures, photos on tour, etc (no brag, just fact) it's difficult for me not to comment, "this is crap" for most of them. The really good pictures, when I get a chance to look at them, I remark on, the not good ones, I don't. One trick to being a good photographer is to not let people see what's in your trash can.

But, we can't force people to ask how to make the pictures better.

Feh. Just....feh....

 

If I'm out of line by my comments, I would welcome a moderater to set me straight.

Thank you.

My heartfelt thanks for that information. Been playing games for years, and using console commands is still something new for me. Just recently found out about the TM and TFC commands. Learn something new every day. I've been doing the "T" to wait an hour or two so the damn rain will stop so I can get the lighting I want. Now, thanks to you, I don't have to wait.

I got a little out of line there, and off topic. what i wanted this thread for is for people who are interested in some advice for good screenies or who can give it to post it. please.

 

although i am still going to rate pictures fairly. All the time.
