And now we’re rolling… Next scene is going to be not all that crucial to the plot, but the most complex posing I’ve ever tried to set up with all the major characters in one place at the same time. Well, it’s a challenge and that’s what makes it fun – right?
I thought about yoyos and pineapples, but na – I can’t imagine Skyrim having handy pineapples around and I doubt even Katherine has a clue what a yoyo is, let alone what her ancestor did with one.
I’m getting better at using the various console commands. There’s a lot of them! For anyone interested, here’s essentially what I do to set up a scene for screenshots:
1 – Move characters into place roughly.
2 – Make sure they’re wearing the right things and remove bows and arrows (for some reason they seem to love to equip those)
3 – Set poses with Halo’s Poser mod.
4 – Set individual expressions
5 – Set mouth “phoneme”
6 – Set eye modifiers (blink, up,down,left, right)
7 – tweak positioning with either tc or setpos commands
8 – disable ai (to keep them from moving anymore)
9 – disable user interface (to keep display clean of any UI stuff)
10 – Screenshot at a lot of different angles.
11 – Wash, Rinse, Repeat as needed
Oh, and somewhere in there remember to tweak ENB settings for more color saturation (Skyrim is too “grey” for my taste).
So, hopefully I’ll have #10 out in another few days. I never know when I’ll get time to work on it, but this is definitely my major passion the last few weeks and I do want to get the story complete.
