Erratic1 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Anyone else ever try to do a group photo for their characters? The above was really just a test of concept--grab some characters, try to get them posed properly, and layer them together with a background. Aquaria (left) and Unconquerable (right) I snipped from the costume editor. Regiment (center) I posed on top of a building with a neutral background I could then easily remove. The backdrop is just behind the tram station in Talos. If I were really going to do it right I would want to include shadows for them on the pavement and I would try to do a better job smoothing out the character borders. Has anyone else gone further with their roster of characters? Edited October 20, 2021 by Erratic1 Reduce image size 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveTheChemist Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I tinkered with the idea to satisfy my curiosity. There was some discussion in this thread. Some other ideas were presented there but if I were I to pursue it in earnest, I had good luck with demo editing and would probably go that route. 1 Popmenus > Badge List | Optimal Paths | Conversion Possibilities | Emotes Wiki Pages > Costume Color Schemes | Set Bonus Comparison Tables Maps > Vidiotmaps | Optimal Paths | Halloween GM Maps | Winter Gift Maps | Offline Map Viewer Sounds > Banshee Sonic Attack Datasets > Recipe Salvage Components | Badge Name & Settitle ID | Exploration Badge & History Plaque Coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Robin Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Get what you needed @Erratic1? Here's brief summary of that thread... AE: Make a mission in Architect and recreate your alts as "rescues" then play the mission and save them all. They follow you and then you can pose with them. Not too difficult if you know how to use AE (I never tried it myself) and decent results. Photo Manipulation: Take screenshots ingame and composite them yourself in the art program of your choice. While it's the most difficult (a steep learning curve) it gives total control over the results. Demo Edit: Find Choose a map. Record a quick demo from each position you want one of your alts to be. Open the demo file as text and replace the code at each location with the code for one of your alts. It's quick and easy with good results. Also lets you do things that are not possible in-game. Example: Note not only the Croatoan Witches in Bloody Bay but the fact that I am standing on the Meteor which the game doesn't allow. Bio from '09.

Dusty Longshot Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 In the past I've used Titan Icon to create group shots of my alts like these: It's still available for download, but I'm not sure if it works with the current HC client data. 2 1 @DustyLongshot ~ Everlasting ~ usually online daily between 18:00 and 20:00 UTCSignature Characters: Dusty Longshot | Star Jewel | Emberflair | Mystfury | Miss Unity | Novaspark Other characters - Starlight Sentinels on Fandom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, I've created demofiles and captured screenshots form the playback. It was so versatile, since you could use powers, weapons and all the emotes (including NPC ones). I don't think that works anymore, so I'll have to give Titan Icon a go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating demo files and taking screenshots definitely still works. My previous post in this thread (on Feb 12) has some links, and the HC wiki Demo Recording page also has some info about recording and playback. 1 Popmenus > Badge List | Optimal Paths | Conversion Possibilities | Emotes Wiki Pages > Costume Color Schemes | Set Bonus Comparison Tables Maps > Vidiotmaps | Optimal Paths | Halloween GM Maps | Winter Gift Maps | Offline Map Viewer Sounds > Banshee Sonic Attack Datasets > Recipe Salvage Components | Badge Name & Settitle ID | Exploration Badge & History Plaque Coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikOz Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 This is one I took on live, and it is literally "live". I had to make two free accounts in addition to my main account, and create each character on a separate account. Then I launched two instances of the game on my Windows laptop, each logged into a different account, and launched another instance of the game on my Mac and logged it into the third account. Loaded all three characters, got them positioned just so, and managed to get the screenshot before the clients on the laptop crashed. I wanted the group shot because these three characters are triplet sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glacier Peak Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I ended up going the route of multiple accounts to frame this shot: I lead weekly Indom Badge Runs / A newer giant monster guide by Glacier Peak / A tour of Pocket D easter eggs! / Arena All-Star Accolade Guide!
