Group-Shots
« on: December 16, 2012, 09:45:51 PM »
We have several threads dedicated to showing off our toons, but not that many for groups/teams. So, if you have great screenshots of your team or supergroup, whether you got them in-game or constructed them via a demo-file, feel free to show em off.

First up, this group is composed of the characters I enjoyed the most, and felt rather strongly about:



From front to back, left to right: Chrono-Tamer, Alex Corvus, Vamp Angel, Atom-Star, and Miss Mercy. Go-Go 'Illa, General Supernova, ILLYRIA, Dr. Shock-Therapy, Ampfist, and Basalt. And, hovering we have Pete P. Powers, Avatar of RA, and Nucleon Mage.

They're pretty serious heroes. However, when taking this photo, they were in a rather silly mood. The photographer had some trouble getting them to settle down...



*sighs* See what I mean? ;)

I really, really need to learn how to manip demos. :)

These are awesome!

Thank you!  8)

If you'd like, I can supply the demo files for both of these shots. I also have a Tutorial in the Demos subsection that's helpful in this regard.

Well I've got some of the older versions of editors, but hadn't been using them for so long that I kind of only remember "in theory" how it works. I look at the demos now and just go O____o ;) I know my house mate was using one with an interface, somehow, but I don't even know which one THAT was. Or maybe I was just seeing a different thing on his screens and associated it.

I'll look up the tutorials again soon I think. I have plenty of demos of my characters, and those that I don't, I can make them with demolition, to insert them properly into something bigger.

Good composition!  The spacing between each character nicely shows off each one.

I'm building Team Photos now for my guys, there are quite a few.

But, here is my "main" team, the Loyal Zodiac Guardsmen (late of Virtue)

Team Uniforms followed by their Solo Uniforms:



Science Ninja Team Gatchaman:

Thanks! Those all look great as well :)

While I'm at it, I might as well add a group shot of Angel Investigations...

Yeah that last one WOW!!!

I ... really do need to figure out how all this stuff works. Need a plug-in-the-toons 'setting' somewhere. Arg. Arg. Because I shouldn't even be thinking about this right now, I've got a paid writing project I'm behind on, to finish up... ARG. :D

It isn't that hard to edit demos, it just takes time and being careful.

What it *is* though, is editing code text documents by hand.

At the moment, that's all we have available regarding group placements, character insertion, etc.
No "easy" tool with a GUI interface is available to use (yet?), I would say.

 ;)

Thank you :) These toons were all on the Victory server, where every space was dedicated to Buffy/Angel characters. And I'd purchased extra slots for that server too, heh.

I used to worry that they might get Generic'd...never happened.

Anyway, onto doing a group shot of the Scoobies. And that would be Buffy and her crew, not Scooby, Shaggy, and the rest ;)

Right now, all I'm able to do is create a demo file that allows me to do one static photo shot.  It takes quite a bit of "staging", from scouting the right location on the map to placement of characters and even the right camera angle.

I find the DEMOlition and cameraman tools to be invaluable.

It is still quite a bit to do by hand, but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

I can provide the demo file for any of the shots I've posted, if anyone is interested.

That's how I've done several of mine. I even created a tutorial:

Oh wait, you mean screenshots....



CCCP Speznatz team

We had so much fun with that that some of us moved to Virtue and did --

All AR blasters and a single emp fender.  The emp fender was never needed.  We moved through the Hollows like a John Deere harvesting wheat.

It says nothing save for the fact that you like Gatchaman, and there's nothing wrong with that :)
