Screenshot Guidelines ( MUST READ BEFORE POSTING! ):

(Thanks to bashur and Matthew Kaine(?) for the original versions of this set of guidelines over in the Oblivion Mods section :smile:

)

No criticism should be directed at a person - only constructive criticism at the posters work
- How you should not post criticism: "That screenshot is really lame! The poster needs to learn how to screenshot!"
- How you should post criticism: "I'm not really a fan of that screenshot; In my opinion it could use a little more flair. Maybe try to have the angle at a diagonal slant with the sun behind them, that will give them a nice silhouette."
If you find a post offensive, REPORT IT !
- Moderators know to to quickly deal with any situation of this nature, and will remove any offensive posts.
- Arguing, instigating, or making demands regarding the post invariably ends up worsening the situation.
- Not following the above rules could result in all involved parties getting a warning, even those defending themselves.
Commenting on a posters style of play in screenshots:
- Members have a wide variety of playing styles and of capturing screenshots.
- No subjective (or moral, ethnic, political, religious, cultural, social, sixual, etc.) preferences should be dictated to others as right or wrong in this thread.
- All members are encouraged to post their screenshots regardless of their style of play, as long as they stay within the rules of this forum and thread.

Messages from the Moderators regarding this thread
"This is not the place to troll, flame, or spam others. You all are here to share ideas, converse, and have a good time.
We don't want anyone to spoil the party, so if someone happens to come along with those intentions
please use the report button and ignore that person's post (Do not reply to them or acknowledge them).
We will then take the appropriate action to cull the situation and remove the problem." - DreadLord
_____________________________

"You cannot take assets from another game and use them in Oblivion, and that includes other BGS games.
What you do on your own computer is up to you but we don't want to hear about it or see it." - Rohugh
_____________________________

"User made and modified in game characters depicting children must be fully clothed and not be posed in a way to be considered provocative.
The moderators have full authority to determine this and issue warns/suspensions/bans if required.
Likewise any screenshots depicting child killing will also be dealt with accordingly." - From Moderators and Forum Admin

_____________________________

"If you don't care for a particular screenshot, you do not need to comment on it. If you have constructive feedback, that is fine. And people receiving polite feedback, don't get your back up.

But just because you don't like some of the looks, or feel they show too much skin, or whatever, as long as they do not break our forum rules, you'll have to restrain yourself. Sorry- no one cares if you don't like the skimpy shots. Sure, some of them may be over the top or whatever, or simply not to one's taste, but again- if they do not break our screenshot rules, then they are fine.

Post screenshots that are pretty, that are fun, or funny or scenic. Be kind to each other. Or don't bother with the thread." - Leydenne

Tips (under development)
Camera Tips (for basic screenshots without a third-party program):

Press F on your keyboard to switch back and forth from first, to third-person view
Press and hold F to change the camera angle by moving your mouse around. This will rotate the camera around your character.
- A side-to-side mouse movement will rotate the camera around your player
- A forwards-backwards mouse movement will tilt the camera angle above or below your character
- The mouse scroll wheel will move the camera closer or farther away
You can equip your weapon and/or cast a spell in this position as long as you continue to hold F
Press the "Print Screen" or "Prt Scr" button at any time to take your shot.
- Be careful not to take them too close together or you'll accidentally capture the "screen shot created" message in your shot if your UI is still enabled (see below).

How to disable the UI (Stats Bars, Compass, etc):

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type TM
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
Your UI (User Interface) should now be gone
- To re-enable your UI, type TM in the console again using the steps above

How to enable Free-Flying Camera mode:

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type TFC
OR type TFC 1 to pause the action and enable the free camera.
CAUTION: Animations and gametime passage may be suspended with TFC 1, but script functions are not. Scripts may still trigger events even while the actors or props they manipulate are still frozen.
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
You can then move the camera around using the same keys you would normally use to move your character.
- To go back to normal, type TFC in the console again using the steps above
To change the speed in which the freecam moves, use the console command SUCSM (x), where (x) is the speed multiplier. Default appears to be about 10, which may be unwieldy.

How to Disable the AI of any Creature/NPC:

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type TAI
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
Entering the command while no actor is selected will cause all actors to stand at idle (but still have idle animation).
Using while an actor is selected will freeze them in-place.
To return to normal, type TAI in the console again, and press enter.

How to remove Collision from your Character (Clipping):

Open the console by pressing the "~" key on your keyboard
- This key is located next to your "1" key, above your "TAB" key, and usually below your "ESC" key
- This will bring up the console, you'll notice a place at the bottom left of your screen where you are now able to type
Type TCL
Press ENTER
Then close the console by pressing "~" again
To return to normal, type TCL in the console again, and press enter

How to post your screenshots

Upload to an image hosting site. There are many popular options for doing so, including a built-in service with Steam. Per asgard: From steam's screenshot manager, you simply select a pic, then hit the upload button. Then you click on 'View online library' where you can manage all your uploaded pics.
Copy the URL for your image. The image hosting site you choose usually has a box with code to pick from. You'll want to get the code that refers to BBCode, and a direct URL. Do not bother with getting BBCode Image coding, as this forum does not support embedded images in posts.
When you post your screenshot, it's often nice to include some flavor text, rather than just posting an undescriptive URL. There are a couple of ways to do this, which both result in the same thing.
The first way is to use the Link button in the text box editor when you are posting. It looks like a little chain with a green plus sign underneath. Clicking that will bring up a dialogue box, where you paste the URL for your image and then have an option to name the link something.
The second way is to type out the following: YOUR FLAVOR TEXT HERE, but replace the < > with [ ]. This is the code that will be generated from the Link button.

How to swap out animations (pre CK, PC only)

Until pose mods come out, this method is the best option for making your character do things that NPCs can do!
You'll need a .bsa extractor. I (Eisoj5) am using a Fallout3 extractor for the time being, but there are more options out there.
Open the Skyrim - Animations.bsa file in your .bsa extractor. The animations for character and NPCs are located in the meshes\actors\character\animationsfolder within that file.
Extract the animations you want to play with. I (Eisoj5) have a separate folder for all the random stuff I like to mess with/add to Skyrim, so I put them in that folder.
Rename the animation you want to use ingame to sneakmtidle.hkx .
Copy your new sneakmtidle.hkx to Skyrim\Data\meshes\actors\character\animations. (You will have to create these subfolders if they do not already exist in your directory.)
In game, simply press the sneak button and your swapped animation should begin to play! Keep in mind this is only when you're sneaking and not moving. Moving will return to the regular sneak motion animation.
To get back to the normal sneak idle animation, just delete sneakmtidle.hkx from Skyrim\Data\meshes\actors\character\animations.

Lighting Tips (courtesy of UKnightwatch)

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:

Using FOV

FOV, or "field-of-view/vision", can help you zoom in for even better close-up shots.

Open the console using the ` key.
Type fov ##, where lower numbers equal a tighter zoom and higher numbers a wide angle. Close the console.
The game is preset to fov 65. FOVs lower than 50 are great for close-ups, but can be hard to frame if your TFC speed is high.
To get back to your normal setting, open the console and type either just fov again or fov 65.

P.S. What are you using for the lightning? (still looking for an ideal mod)

Thanks! @Arcona: I'm using http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=4577. I've tweaked it further 'cause the initial bloom was WAAAY too much for me, but other than that, it's pretty perfect for me. Loving the new real darkness especially.

Thanks! I always want some new things to test out. My current lightning mods are http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13049 and http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13531, but I want some addition, to make stuff look more "cinematic" and less sharp.

Here's Groshull Yak-Bolag's final battle. Against a minotaur. Screenshot taken only a second before he got his head chopped off...

Rightclick on the picture -> Show Graphic (or whatever the correct english term for "Grafik" is in this context, the first option, if you use Firefox) -> post the link ^^

On the side of the page you linked is a box with "Links". Choose the Direct Link option.

Today decided to go old school reposts with shots from last year using mostly ini modifications and ultra settings (and some fov at times--edit: think had some early basic sharpened textures mods too...). Just to keep things interesting and remind people just what got us hooked in the first place pre 'heavy' mods :smile:

Most of which haven't been posted since mid December anyways (SWTOR stole me for a few months).

They're still incredibly stunning

I can't even begin to approach that level of detail on my rig!

Do some of you who post screenshots here ever think that your experience of Skyrim has become more of a technical exersize and less of an actual coherent gameplay?
What I mean is amidst all of the discussion of ENB and charactar image do you think that on some level you lose sight of why you actually connected with the experience in the first place...

I know I post pictures of Niamh, and some of them are manipulated, and I realise that my style is not yours but she is always who she is and it's never at the expense of her experience in Skyrim. In Oblivion it did indeed become a much more technical exersize of me attempting to pass through to Cyrodiil but becoming more concerned with "look and feel" and less concerned with Experience, until eventually it imploded and Niamh ended up... where she ended up...

Do any of you think that?

» Wed Jun 06, 2012 7:18 pm

Nope. I play to play; the pictures are just to show off my character(s) and record the pretty scenery.

I was getting to be really guilty of that. Everywhere I went I was looking for shots or on my way to places to puposely pose for them. I had a really good reminder last night that the most unexpected things happen when instead of making your character a puppet you let them have control and just follow along for the ride. I was on my way to the Arena for some shots and was going to stop at the hot tub for a second on my way there. This was not something that I had planned or even thought of and it all happened so naturally that I was really suprised. I only posed the girl in these pics for one shot and all the rest she did perfectly on her own. These shots are PG-13 in my opinion. It made me realize that the coolest things happen when instead of constantly manipulating your character you just let them have their own life and chronicle their journey. I will now just be playing and taking pics of what happens in his adventures instead of manufacturing screenshots. Hope you like them. :smile:
