When are we gonna see your char? Let me guess... a Khajiit? :P

You need a .bsa browser to extract the animation file, then rename it to sneakmtidle and place it in the correct folder. Then ingame, just hit your sneak key and the animation will play. Eisoj5, could you pleeeease add this to your tips section?

Hmm ive been trying to swap stuff with the sneakmtidle.hkx but nothing seems to work. When I go sneak the character goes into a spread arms and legs freeze pose.

Ive put it in the Skyrim\Data\meshes\actors\character\animations folder. Should be correct right?

Anyway, Am i doing something wrong, or do not all character animations work?(Ive tested it with different ones from the same folder path).

Try extracting idlesit_crosslegged.hkx. That one works for sure. Most likely all animation files that start with idle will work.

Ive tried so many. All from the animation folder(not the ones inside female/male etc) Tried idlekneelidle.hkx and that one didnt work

Thanks! Ill try this one! I think I was actually looking for that one judging by the name!

EDIT: Nope doesnt work as well. Must be something wrong some how. Perhaps a conflicting mod which uses animations?

Hmmmm. I haven't the slightest idea, unfortunately :( I don't think there are really any mods out using animations yet, either.

Yea there are(got some who puts weapons on back and uses 2h animations for 1h weapon etc.

But i think i found the problem. I think the BSA extractor i used didnt work properly. No using an extractor from Fallout and it worked :smile:

Annoying though that I need to switch animations every time I want to take a new shot. Can't wait for a mod with animation commands(emotes etc).

Three tomatoes are walking down the street, poppa tomato, momma tomato, and baby tomato. Baby tomato starts lagging behind. The poppa tomato gets really angry, goes back and squishes him, says: "catch up!"



BTW your elf orc is looking good :tongue:

I actually thought the candlelight was a little unkind to her, but I liked the shot composition too much not to include it, lol. (Little hard to mistake her for an elf in that one, poor thing, rofl.)

Hallo all,

Not had much chance to play with the free cam or take much in the way of screenshots recently.

So, here is a funny I posted a while back in a thread that seemingly had no views;

[img]http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae46/STOLibrary/skyrim%20pics/allisaid.jpg[/img]

Yeah! I really do not like that meme!

There are some great shots in these threads.

The thing is, some of us (me included) seem to end up with badly lit shots. Bad lighting can result from a lot of things but we can combat it sometimes.

To avoid bad lighting, I try to;

Not have a bright light directly behind subject
Not have a very bright light too close to front of subject
Not aim camera directly at a bright light
Turn my character into good lighting
Make good use of character items such as torch or spells that cast light and such if available

On PC;

Make use of the 'tfc' feature to move the camera accordingly to avoid bad lighting - see begining of this thread

I realise we are not all super smart when it comes to using art packages on PC (points at self as example of dimness) and we do not all have access to professional software - this has its problems.

If you are using a PC, there are some free to download image manipulating programs available - your search engine is your friend! Free software can be very basic but that is all we need. A little time taken to learn the basics of such free programs can pay off really well and bring our screenshots [more] to life. :smile:

I would hope that the suggestions above are seen as positive and that nobody takes offence at them - like I said, some great shots by everyone so far.

Eisoj5, If I may be so bold, I would like to offer up a suggestion regards your 'how to' list; so long as it is in line with forum guidelines, you could add a note about screenshot lighting and another regarding free image manipulation software - no need to name any names though. I think that this would be very constructive.



(EDITED: I am like a prooly trained or inexperienced wizzard! I can not spell to save my live (chuckle))

There is more to the sequence now if you want to look.

But yeah you kind of just wanna look at the dragon and be like.."really dragon? Have you not had enough? Have you not heard about what was done to your peers? I am on my way to become even stronger and you think it wise to try and stop me eh?" Pulls out Sword of the One Eye Crow..."yYeah I am not amused Dragon..."

Thanks! I will. Hmm, might have to go to using spoiler tags for each section so that post doesn't look so dauntingly huge. I'll get on that either tonight or tomorrow :)
