Random things ~ Obviously, a good artist uses their tools to make anything awesome, Do whatever you want~
These style of pictures will be more based on lighting, so it's ever more important to find a good map.ģ. You can create it and enhance it with assets from other games, like TF2 and Hl2. Atmostpheric ~ Nice Scenary is a bit harder to find in Gmod, but it's out there. Videogames ~ The community LOVES to upload assets from games, making fanart easily the best and fastest, as well as the easiest thing to do with this.Ģ. Next step, Making a Scene, and some tips to good posing.ġ. * Play X can be used to make awesome pictures as well, but that will be on a later guide. This is completely optional, but I recommend it. I use the vocaloid radio mod, and just set the radio outside my "scene" so it doesn't interfere, but still gives me jams to listen to.Īdmittably, the best mod I could think of for this is PlayX*, because it allows you to put some youtube stuff up in the game while you pose but sometimes, for performance/time, other mods are better. Since this is a timely process (but well worth it) I recomend using external programs that you can integrate and use realtime in game to make some music. In editors, you will see something called "Sun editor " if the sun is going to be used in your screenshot, this will help you place it in a more interesting way, to maxmize your use of the environment.įirst, you want to pick an interesting environment or scene~ or create one~ for my screenshot I'm going to use one of my favorite areas of the map~ The roof of the multistory building.
You don't want to activate your shaders yet, as it chomps performance and will make you have less precision while setting up Your game should look something like this when you first load in ~īleak, Boring, without color, but a noticable change with the sun, which will help us later when we activate our wonderful shaders. This map already has enhanced lighting and can be used even more to make great screenshots (not to mention it has a greenscreen room, but that will be in an advanced guide) Let me be clear ~ my guide tends to go the JJ Abrams route of having lens flare, That does NOT mean you have to have lens flare ~ This is a personal choice.įor this guide, and admittably, for most of my pictures, I will be using Gmodconstruct, the basic map with buildings and a nice atmosphere. If you use other maps that are older/have no enhanced lighting, you'll experience more difficulty gettings nice shades/colors/tones/lens flare. For most conditions, you want to use maps that have HDR lighting for best results, but this is optional.
