Amnoon

Is that really Amnoon? It looks more like the Henge of Denravi to me. -- Hong 06:12, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Mamnoon, not Amnoon. Good catch, thank you. Ni Di 12:56, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Very Nice

Just wanted to say that I really like your screen shots. I'm impressed with how well they turn out after being enlarged like that. How do you do it? Silmalel 20:05, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

It's a bit late to answer. First, I am unlikely to update it anytime soon since for various reasons I have nor the time, nor the connection, nor the computer to do them.

Now about the question itself:

• I had a large monitor and even if the maximum resolution was nothing special by today's standards (1440x900), it will allow for better pictures since four pixels in the background will actually appear as a house.

• Don't forget to add -bmp in your shortcut target, so you don't have .jpg pictures (loss of quality): you will capture them in .bmp and will simply be able to convert them into .png, which is to my knowledge the lighest lossless format.

• Turn all graphical options to the max (the KSmod is necessary to take pictures on the fly in towns).

• Also, don't forget to force graphical options on your graphic card, which is perhaps the most important point. You can enable features that GW doesn't allow directly. My graphic card could be forced only up to x16 antialiasing, and even that modest number already gave very clean pictures. Force every other option available.

I simply open them with MSpaint, cut the edges, save them as .png. Often I will double their size because I find them more awe-inspiring (the full-screen view (F11) with Firefox can let you navigate a big picture, and this makes the landscape very engaging). Save before you do this. For some reason, if you double the size after cutting the edges, it will give a pixelated result. Simply saving, exiting, reopening and resizing will work, for some reason.

Also, of course, you need a good internet connection, unlike mine, to upload them.

I hope you will soon be able to put up your own gallery. There are many locations I would have liked to do had things gone better. Ni Di 16:40, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll try your suggestions out. Silmalel 20:44, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I love these pics and I hope you'll continue taking them in GW2 ;) --The Holy Dragons 15:07, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Character's Screen shot

Je me suis laissé tenté par la photographie des personnages de façon à les valoriser. J'ai utiliser un autre compte Guild Wars et un Multi-Launcher, ainsi j'ai un personnage "photographe" qui me permet d'avoir de meilleur angle et des zooms plus libres.

Il y a certaine ville ou zone avec un éclairage plus ou moins différent. L'avant poste de la Côte des Divinités a une atmosphère très chaude pour ça. Le décors n'est pas difficile à choisir tellement Guild Wars regorge de paysage magnifique. Les "emote" des personnages sont très varié et il n'est pas rare que à la toute fin de l'action et durant un bref instant, on y trouve la position adéquate.

Ensuite, énorme liste de screenshot, on trie, on compare, on essaye plusieurs angles/plans/emote etc. On préférera les screenshots prisent en plein écran ! Finalement, en coupant à l'aide d'un logiciel comme Paint, on arrive très simplement à choisir le cadre qui nous plait.

Voila un peu mon impression, un travail très minutieux où il faut s'armer de patience pour trouver LA bonne image. Un petit extrait de ma séance photo, façon présentation Role Play : http://nsa19.casimages.com/img/2011/05/25/110525113618177380.jpg

Merci pour le petit tutoriel Ni Di, c'est très instructif. N'hésite pas à me contacter si tu as des conseils à me donner !
