Group-Shots

[corvus1970]

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!

[corvus1970]

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.

[Zekiran]

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.

[corvus1970]

No prob :)

Good eye! For getting the reference, AND linking to that youtube vid, you are now my favorite person of the day! :D

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:

Thanks! Those all look great as well :)

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

[daveyfiacre]

at first i was like... huh? angel investigations? wha? angels?

but then i was like... OMGAH ANGEL INGESTIGATIONSSSSS!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! OMGGGGAAAAAHHHHHH



fantastic work. :) man i really need to wet my feet in this demo recording stuff. but im SO not computer literate and i'm scared :(

[Zekiran]

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

[Arachnion]

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, glad you like them :)

Yeah that last one WOW!!!

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.

[corvus1970]

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

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

PPD SWAT team

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.

[corvus1970]

Awesome. Thanks for posting those VV :)

[blackjak]

Does it say something about me when I  squee the Science Ninja Gatchaman pic while everyone else is talking about Angel? :-\

[corvus1970]

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