Vanilla Gpose Tips

I get asked occasionally how I make my screenshots if I'm not using shaders or mods. The short answer: Patience. Gpose's suite of tools is a lot more robust than it used to be when it was first released. But if you want a screenshot to really shine without using third party add-ons, it's not something you can just go into gpose, take a printscreen and get back out. You might capture a moment with nice lighting that way, but it takes more than that. 1. Choosing a location and time of day is job one. What kind of mood are you trying to convey? Does your intended screenshot have a theme (or a prompt?) or are you just looking at your new glam and marveling at how fine your character looks in it? Does a lighter or darker setting suit the character better? Setting, time of day, and weather can affect this. 2. You can stop time and weather from changing. I keep this on by default because it can take upwards of 30 minutes IRL to fine tune a screenshot. The middle button below. Make sure it's highlighted.

3. Toggle battle effects on/off. It's the button right next to the time/weather stop, the icon of the guy holding the sword. If the icon is highlighted as it is in the screenshot, your battle effects are on. If you want to capture pure motion and not worry about battle effects, turn this off. 4. Wet effect. Use it, use it, use it. It doesn't just make clothes look wet and make skin glossy, it actually helps to bring out texture and detail on the character's outfit. Especially since the graphics updates in 7.1. I've found it also adds shine to hair and can help the eyes stand out more.

5. Sticker Mode. Yes, there are oodles of cute minion stickers, flags, and numbers, but there are also some great effects to be found in the Decorations category! Sparkles and twinkles, lens flare, among other things can help enhance metallic points on a glamour, AND they can be resized! So if you want a more subtle twinkle on the edge of your spectacles or earrings, you can tilt and downsize your desired sparkle. There are also cute flowers and hearts. 6. Quick Keys. If you're playing on a keyboard, the 1 on your top number row freezes the screenshot. This is extremely helpful if you're trying to catch a battle emote right at a specific moment. If you miss it, keep trying because emotes will continue to cycle until you change them. R and Scroll Lock will both hide/unhide the gpose controls. X will turn on lighting. Space Bar will toggle your character to stop them from facing the camera and vice versa. 7. Lighting Intensity is Dependent on Distance. The closer you're zoomed in on your character, the brighter the light is going to be when you turn it on. Try adjusting your zoom in or out and toggling the light to see if the illumination is to your liking. You can also adjust the RGB on the lights to fit the mood/environment. I also recommend turning on Manual Brightness. 8. Color Filter and Screen Effect. These two features, in my opinion, require the most patience. Not every color filter and screen effect will work well together in every scenario. Click through and preview all of them in your screenshots and see if some SE's work better with your preferred CF. You might find an unexpected combination that you love. Trailer and Echo color filters are great for flashbacks (no one uses Aetherometer, it's an eye bleeder). Use the Pencil or one of the monochrome CFs and Noise 2 SE to create a nice black and white film or photo effect. 9. Frames. Frames are one of the more limited features and not always needed in order to capture a great screenshot. Action poses benefit from the Cinema frames, however, while more lighthearted moments play well with the photo options.

10. Emotes. Before you enter Gpose, be sure to /groundsit to clear your most recent emotes. Summoning mounts and minions also count as emotes for the sake of Gpose. By the same token, you can use battle abilities before entering Gpose, and this is what it will cycle through. You can't activate a battle ability while IN Gpose. You will have access to all of your non-battle emotes and facial expressions, though. You can combine any emote with any facial expression by choosing the action first, and expression second, so you can /prettyplease and /awe at the same time to make your character look hilariously horrified. If you enter Gpose with an active battle ability, you can still apply a facial expression to it from within the tool. 11. Bits and Bobs. Enable Manual Focus and Depth of Field will help bring out the details of the background more, and will help to make a more cohesive screenshot. Manual Focus is great if you want your character in the frame, but you want to shift the focus elsewhere, to an object or another person in the background for example. In the same menu where you'll find emotes, click the second eye button to "Track Camera". Your character's eyes will follow the position of the camera. Lastly, again, have patience. Allow yourself time to play with all the tools Gpose has to offer. You're probably not going to get the winning screenshot after clicking Printscreen just one time, you should take multiple shots from different angles with different lighting and effects, then compare them all and pick the ones you like best. And remember, even if it's the true endgame, it's not a competition. Your screenshots are not "worse" or "boring" just because you're not using third party tools. I look forward to seeing what you create, and you should too.

By the way I LOVE Andres design sm especially cuz it's hard to see more accurately portrayed peacocks in things cuz like for example a lot of media show peacock males and females as the same when that's FAR from it lol

I love that helluva managed to make a flamboyant male peacock who's all about being the star of the show and showing off because if you ever seen a make peacock they just like that lol, the females are usually dull and not like the males at all, which Stella's more like what females look like. I like that. Peacocks portrayed as they are lol

And I get to place peacock characteristics of ma boi lol I love peacocks sm I love birds in general which is probably why I tend to have more bird like angelic muses or goetia muses lol birds I love em and hazbin does animorphic birds very well

Man, there were so many, how do I even choose one? I was raised by two great cooks so I don't know that we had very many undesirable meals. If had to name three though: Chicken and dumplings. But not like the little gnocchi dumpings or noodle "dumplings", mom would make big, pillowy biscuit dumplings and float them on top of the sauce. OR she'd make a deep dish chicken pot pie and make a thick biscuit crust, which was perfect for spooning extra filling over, or dipping. Beef stew. I tell you what, being from New England and dealing with the long, frigid winters there, NOTHING was better than coming in to a pot of beef stew after shoveling or skiing all day. Chicken picatta. Still my all time favorite. A silky lemon-wine-butter sauce with artichokes and capers enrobing a plate of chicken cutlets and pasta. What's not to love?

Hey guys be cool and normal but reblog this with the homemade meal that would get you the most hyped as a child. I need it for reasons.

You didn't flip him off, but you pointed. You pointed and uttered the words and you saw his eyes glance back at you in the rearview mirror. He had been an ambulance driver up until now. One rough day at work and the night of hard drinking which followed suddenly, somehow, resulted in his inability to drive faster when he needed to, regardless of the situation. Five miles per hour under the speed limit. For whatever reason this stuck in his mind like a thorn, as though something catastrophic would happen if he ever went over the speed limit ever again. He might hurt someone, or himself. Or worse, his patients in the back of the ambulance might suffer even worse for it than their present circumstances already had them experiencing. Tragically, it was exactly this that cost him the life of a patient. He was suspended the first time it happened. He came back and retrained, and then it happened twice more. Finally, he was fired from ever driving an ambulance again and lawsuits followed. He had trouble finding work after that and his once joyful family life eventually crumbled due to the stress. That teeny tiny curse might have made the roads safer to a finite degree following one person's night of poor judgement but it cost that man dearly, not to mention the other lives lost and changed because of it.

You have the power to place really small, permanent curses on people. Things like never winning bingo or having them suddenly dislike a food they use to love. One day, someone nearly kills you cutting you off in traffic, and you curse them. Little do you know, you just ruined their life.

Some hcs I like:

Andre having a peacock crest on his head that he hides behind his crown

Andre growing up pressured to be a elegant royal and never really having much of a childhood, he was pressured into going to many balls and being fancy and proper to impress others. But also he ended up forgotten compared to stella. Stella got the spotlight so they could have relations with stolas family. They did used to give him attention but realized stella had more potential if she married

Andre isn't good in social situations at all because he lived in isolation. His parents feared his ice powers sometimes too. And didn't like him using them for silly stuff like making sculptures. Let's say Andres childhood was similar to elsas. Plus his mother always thought stella had more potential than him. So they focused on her. Spoiling her even. Andre always wanted to get more powerful and more and more upper classed so that he could be seen so that he could have the spotlight now, all they knew was she would be the one giving a heir and he's had no luck

his tail feathers gave him trouble in childhood he often tripped on them,took him a while to learn to live w such long tail feathers, he always always needed servants to help him groom them because they were so big and fancy

His favorite food is ice cream especially on hot days because he overheats easily , he also hides himself in summer a lot . The heat bothers him easily.

He only drinks drinks with lots of ice in it even coffees or teas.

He does have a pet dragon he can summon with his powers. You seen her in sinsmas.

His powers are tied to his emotions so sometimes he accidentally freezes the room or even guests or effects the weather even. Elsa shit.

He gets fevers easily. So he can't be in hot weather or he gets sick. Stella must deal w the temp in the castle being cold all the time because it's what his body is used to.

He was often stuck babysitting stella which he hated, it's the only reason he was at balls really. They were for stella aka the golden child according to his parents

He ended up inheriting the throne but gave no heir much to his parents dismay

Anyway bottom line, he was a awkward shy kid and his parents couldn't find him someone to fit that so yah. Royals care a lot about heirs

Apparently this needs to be said so

Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!

You're not a bad person if you...

forget things quickly

forget people

can't remember entire stages of your life

can't remember important things

can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time

can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests

forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc

forget to reply to texts

remember things and immediately forget them again

can't remember birthdays, events, etc

frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions

can't retain new information

forget things you used to know

only remember things when it's too late

have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories

depend on others to know how an event you were in played out

have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa

... and anything else I might have missed!
