Screenshot Location: Photo Studio

[BossPaeGan]

When trying to get screenshots of my characters, I frequently have issues finding a location with sufficient lighting, or have to wait for the "day" to advance to a point that might have good lighting for a chosen location

 

so I thought a storefront location that contains a number of individual rooms with a variety of backgrounds on the walls

 

rooms could have preset lighting conditions that never change, from total illumination to shadows - depending on player tastes/preferences

You could build a dedicated "studio" in a base perhaps.

Yeah, when I was doing more commissioning (back on live,) half the time I'd just go inside or in a base to get steady light.  Between in-world buildings (stores, police stations... don't recall, is the AE "quiet room" affected by time-of-day lighting?) and bases, though, I think we sort of have control over this already. (Heck, I made a base specifically for costume contests to avoid "welp, day went to night halfway through and nobody can see the details of the costume." Not that anyone uses it to my knowledge...)

[Darmian]

Yeah, the quiet room in AE IS affected by the day/night cycle.

Important thing to note: interior rooms of outdoor zones where you can't see outside through the windows (enhancements stores, the tailor, police stations) have no lighting. This is because the rooms are located under the map. They're functionally always night time rooms. Interiors where you can see out of the windows, like AE and Wentworths, are affected by the day/night cycle. They do not have true interior light sources. Both look like they have lights, but they don't have lights that interact with your character model, and you can see that when you go inside. They are lights of lies.

I like this idea.
