Starter GPose: Lighting 102- Outdoors
Tumblr media
Now that we know some basic lighting techniques, it's time to wander into the wild!
There's a lot that's out of your control, like weather and natural light. But let's use those to our advantage!
Supplemental Lighting
Remember: you can use the 3-point light sources and the Character lighting settings to bring attention to the subject, making it pop from the background.
Tumblr media
In the example below, Freya is pretty dim against the background; so we position a yellow source to reinforce the torch light and a blue source to suggest moonlight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, one interesting thing about water surfaces: while point lights can't cast shadows...
...it can reflect over water surfaces!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The principle of using a point light to enhance, reinforce or suggest a source can be used anywhere: fixtures, skybox sources, armor, weapons... the sky (well, and the count of 3) is the limit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Less is more
Simplify your shots. Visual elements draw attention away from the subject. By using Depth of Field (DoF) you can force background elements to lose focus.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alternatively, you can look for parts of the background with fewer elements (like the sky, a cave wall, or a dark patch of a forest.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Weather
Dungeons and open areas have wildly different lighting patterns. Don't fight it: instead, try to adjust your sources to enhance the feeling. Overcast weather gives less contrast, the same as night shots. On the other hand, Some instances can give very harsh light. Use it to your advantage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Environment
Use it. The fact that you're not locked into place means that you can have better action shots, using the environment to help tell a story.
Tumblr media
Also, the Golden Hour is real. Sunrises and sunsets give amazing opportunities for shots.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Night shots have their own characteristics, but they're basically similar to studio shots. So rim lights and key lights can bring subjects to the foreground, even if they're wearing dark clothing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sometimes the environment is the focus. Draw your character away, and let the beauty of Etheirys sink in.
Tumblr media
Framing
Look out for structures that can help isolate your character from the background.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now that I mentioned these points, let's see how (and why) some shots were taken!
Low contrast, DoF isolating from the noisy background, orange point light to Noemie's right, white-bluish point light to the top left.
Tumblr media
High contrast, strong orange point light to the right of Louise, and a white point far to the left.
Tumblr media
Here the scenario is totally irrelevant (apart from the general grey tone), So ADoF+Bubble, ADoF + Bokeh, a single white point from the sun's direction, and a high Character lighting.
Tumblr media
This guide is way less technique-heavy than the previous one, but I hope it helped illustrate some ways to benefit from outdoor shots; please share your experiments, and let me know if you have any questions!

GPose Guide - Facial Expressions
Tumblr media
Let's continue exploring the true endgame! Here's a quick guide that'll help you take more expressive facial screenshots.
The default behavior on gpose is a direct gaze facing front. It may look a bit doll-like, so we can breathe new life into it by modifying the direction the character is facing. You can toggle Face Camera by tapping Space or the Y button - the character will look straight at you (if allowed by the neck angle.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is good, but still somewhat lifeless. So let's modify the direction Zoltan is gazing at: you can do this by rotating the camera a bit and toggling Track Camera under Motion Settings.
Now his eyes are following the camera's position; toggle Target Motion (2) to freeze the gaze in the direction the camera is.
Tumblr media
Now let's modify his expression! Under Motion Settings, open the Emotes list by clicking the Emotes button, and select one of the available expressions. Throw in a Lip Movement for good measure, too.
Tumblr media
You can stack several different types of animation together, like Skill + Expression or Full Body Emote + Expression + Lip Movements:
Tumblr media
The possibilities are endless. Here are some examples of this technique in use, with different combinations of body pose, expression, gaze and lip movements:
