.;* TUTORIAL: Black Backgrounds *;.

@infinityvalkariel asked me how I made images like the one above so I thought I'd put together a tutorial post!

Inspiration & Credit

First of all, I wanna give credit to (@)mallowwyyy on TikTok for the idea! I saw their video initially showing off the effect, and they mentioned in the video that they had a tutorial on their account - but I didn't have my phone at hand when I had the game open and wanted to try it, so I ended up reverse engineering the effect.

I went back and found their tutorial video, so you can follow that if you'd like! My version is pretty much the same, but they got a nice, softer effect - click / tap here to see mallowwyyy's tutorial video

My Tutorial

Step 1: Unlock Lighting!

So, the first step is to make sure you upgrade your camera lighting to about level 5 at least, to unlock the hue lighting. Personally my lighting is currently at level 7. Higher levels unlock more lighting options to play around with for this effect!

To upgrade your camera, open the in-game camera - then there should be an option in the top right that looks like a camera with tools inside (idk if the placement might be different on other devices, but it should be somewhere on your screen at least). If you select that, it opens the menu to upgrade your camera for new lighting/poses/filters using the materials you get from the expedition handbook photography stamp challenge.

Step 2: Get Into Position

The beauty of this effect is location really doesn't matter since we're basically erasing the background, but bright lights and effects can sometimes peak through so that's worth bearing in mind. Below I'm just in a random location in the woods and I've set up the pose and camera placement where I want it.

Step 3: Make Everything Pitch Black

Next, using the Adjustment Box, turn the Vignette all the way to the maximum then move the following options all the way to the lowest: Soft Light Intensity, Soft Light Range, Brightness, Exposure, Highlights, and Shadows.

You'll end up with something like the image below - very much an 'it gets worse before it gets better' situation - but, as you can see, the background is black!

Step 4: Add the Magic

Now it's time for the lighting to shine! Go to the Lighting section of the Adjustment Box and add the natural, default lighting for a softer touch or the unlocked hue lighting for a more colourful, saturated effect - and remember, you can adjust the intensity of the lighting! I've found max lighting then doing Step 5 below tends to work best, but you can play around with it.

Step 5: Final Tweaks

From here you just play around with the settings until you get a result you're personally happy with - whatever works best for your outfit and the vibe you wanna go for.

Black & White Effect: Turn Saturation & Natural Saturation all the way to the lowest

Make Colours Pop: Increase the Saturation & Natural Saturation (play around with the different levels of these two settings)

Make Nikki Brighter: Increase the Brightness, and also play around with the Highlights

More Intense Highlights & Shadows: Increase the Contrast

Soft Glow: Turn the Soft Light Intensity to maximum then increase the Soft Light Range until you're happy with it

This isn't an exhaustive list by any means - have fun playing around with the settings to see what interesting effects might come out of it!

Step 6: Playstation -> Phone Shenanigans

This final step is just for people playing on Playstation 5, like me - or for people who want to add an extra something to their images.

To get images off the Playstation and onto your phone so you can share them on social media and such, you have to download them from the game to the console, from the console to the Playstation app, then from the Playstation app to your phone - and somewhere along that process, I've found it tends to screw up the saturation and make the images more washed out. I do think it may just be an issue with the colour settings on my TV, but I don't know for sure.

Exhibit A: Photo of my TV screen taken by my phone camera vs image downloaded from the Playstation app:

Now, you might like how this looks and I often do lol, but when I want to fix the saturation and make it closer to how it actually looks on my TV screen, I play around with the default photo editor on my phone - there's usually a filter that brings it at least very close to how it looked on my TV, usually one or a combination of the following filters depending on the image: Honey, Clay, Metro, or Bazaar - filter options do vary depending on your device, I have a Google Pixel 6a. The filter previews are the main thing to go off of to see which filters will give the desired effect.

Exhibit B: Playstation app image vs edited image

...aaand that's it! I hope you enjoy playing around with this effect <3

(also, I made this post on my phone, so if there are any formatting issues do let me know and I'll see if I can fix it once I'm back from work and can edit this post on my laptop)

MAKING SOUPS THAT PHIL LESTER WOULD PROBABLY HATE:

WEEK 1 / ?

Starting strong with this plain ass vegetable soup I made because I’ve been having GI problems and needed something plain </3 if you want to follow my soup series it’ll be under #nikki’s soup series

I was bored so I made a YouTube video for it lmao it’s like thirty seconds and not that deep so follow along and make it if you want :)

I haven’t made cooking tutorials in forever and it was so fun so I might start making them again!

If you subscribed to my channel in 2017 and remember my old content too bad all my videos are private <3

P.s. if there’s a soup recipe you want me to try leave a reply or an ask so I can try it because I love soup <3

Priorities are had lol.

i can't say i've played a lot of veilguard but here's some sillies for the beginning of it anyways. b/c, ngl, i kinda wanna see what exactly would happen if Solas took down the veil. But if he had actually killed Verric i would have quit then and there.

Default Actions

Not sure how comprehensible this will be, but hopefully it helps

im not great with rm2k3 so this is pretty unoptimised ):

Things needed:

Default animation (sitting in this case)

Default Switch (called [USE]None in this tutorial)

Variable for the button input (called Use Effect in this tutorial)

If the action is toggled, you will also need:

Toggle Switch (called Is Sitting in this tutorial)

Sprites in the final state of the action (sitting and standing in this case)

This will be a common event with a parallel process trigger and no condition switch

Sprites needed (visual demo):

Sitting (Called: “Full Yoshika Sheet Three alt, 7”):

(this is the most space efficient way of fitting them, at first i had left and right directions separately)

Standing (Called: “Full Yoshika Sheet, 1”):

~~~~~~

First, you'll need to set up key input processing for the key you'll use for the action:

(this is found on page three)

You will need a conditional branch for when the input variable is pressed (in this case it's the 1 button, so the variable will be equal to 11)

(This branch doesn't need an else statement)

Inside this branch, you will need another conditional branch to check if the Default Switch is on

(This branch also doesn't need an else statement)

Inside this branch (sorry there are so many nested branches T-T) you will need a conditional branch for the player's direction (unless the direction doesn't matter)

(This branch also doesn't need an else statement)

The final nested branch is for toggle effects and it checks if the toggle switch is off

(This branch does need an else statement)

For sitting down, you need to:

Set move route to Wait (I did 3x)

Hide player character

Change player sprite to sitting (or whatever your default is)

Show animation

Unhide player character

Set move route to Wait (repeat) (So the player can't move while sitting)

Set the input variable back to 0

Turn on the Toggle Switch

What it should look like:

The else section is used for standing up, and you need to:

Set move route to Wait (I did 3x)

Hide player character

Change player sprite to standing

Show animation

Unhide Player character

Set input variable back to 0

Turn Toggle Switch off

What it should look like:

You need to copy/paste this for each of the directions (don't accidentally paste it into the previous direction, it won't break the code or cause an error, but it'll not work for that direction)

~~~~~~

And then you're done :D

Hopefully it was understandable :3

sorry im gonna be talking about this a lot bc its just a very confusing choice and maybe im just being overdramatic

this pretty much no longer shows that nikki came from another world, i know people have been debating that this game is a soft reboot of the series....

but then they also make the sea of stars to be this important location

mentioning the deconstruction of worlds as well as nikki doing things over and over

u know .....like the other two games??????? this doesnt help the games identity imo

but like i said this is only for....NEW players

we get HALF of the new tutorial and then ur back to where u were in miraland once u take the boat

new players get additional new content and are dropped off into the ruins talk to ena for a moment (i dont really know what she says but according to others it doesnt seem to explain much) do the tutorial with the purification and floating outfits and are dumped right into florawish and pushed into the coma case

like is this them trying to fix nikki??? i...i dont really see what was wrong with the intro? why get rid of the constant between the miraland games of her being an outsider, i get she like NEVER mentioned it but idk maybe you coulda....done something about that instead of just removing it?

wouldnt this be even MORE confusing? new players are thrown into this plot of the world ending and are told youve been doing this countless times

am i missing something?

is this to avoid people questioning why she doesnt seem concerned about being in a new world?

what does this mean for old players that have text referencing the original tutorial? will future updates have to differentiate between these two different openings? will the original slowly be faded out and never brought up again? will we have to relearn old things when we see ena again (if we see her again?)

like i said ive played an mmo that completely changed their starting tutorial and while the mmo as a whole changed quests over time (including completely removing places from the main story so theyre just ghost towns) they still had moments of mentioning the quests that NO longer existed and only made sense if u had played hte original tutorial (which by time i played again in 2015 had already moved a chunk of that tutorial anyway!)

it just makes the story more confusing!
