The Women of VALVe - Garry's Mod

Hello, Facepunch! I've had GMod for a while but only really got into it recently. So after a few semi-invested tries, I actually went forth and gave posing a real try. Behold, my first real attempt! The women of VALVe! (including Lamarr!) Edited and non-edited versions: EDIT: Newest and best version!: [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/10ihtom.jpg[/IMG] Edited (a bit silly.): [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/25aukid.jpg[/IMG] Non-edited, other than a slight bit of cropping: [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/2nuqbrd.jpg[/IMG] Notes: Chell's arm is actually around Alyx's shoulder, though the angle makes it hard to tell. I know her hands are off, this is due to the model's inflexibility/lack of finger posing. Anyone know a way around this? I also know I need to work on the lighting. Feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

You're missing some rebels, etc.

I know. I decided to take the main female characters from the games I had. I didn't want to overcrowd the shot. I may do another with all of them. EDIT: I went back it, added some light, though I'm still not happy with it yet; it's kind of harder to light than a RL phto, in a way. Curse my noobishness. Any improvement?

Should have used some editing, needs better lighting too. I don't you should have included the Glados heads either.

dam straight

i like how you added lamaar

Good concept, just needs a little practice.

Turn up your graphic settings in Gmod before taking a screenshot. That goes for! Anti-aliasing Model Texture Shadow and shader detail. As said many times in here. You don’t need speed for screenshots. It levitates your pictures to a new level making use of these options. And this is pretty nice for your first post. No construct and you have tried to be creative. I like that.

Cool first pose, just remember to tuck in the asses of the ragdolls, so they dont look weird.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I promise to improve. A couple things- I could have sworn I turned up the graphics in the options. Is there another place? I'll have to check that again. And I also tried to tuck in their butts and avoid the swayback. I thought I did all right on that, but it's harder to find that balance with some of the female models since they're meant to have more curve. They'll look fine in-game, but not in a photo. Which ones look the oddest/least natural to you? EDIT: Went back in and checked- I didn't have anitaliasing on, and that most definitely helped. Turning the anisotropic filtering on helped even more. Totally missed those. Thanks again.

Good idea, but it generally could've been done better

Wth is lammar doing there??????????????????????????????????????????????

She is a female, you know. Kleiner says so in the beginning. Or in a way you'd understand: It's a gurl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

You forgot Glados!!

[QUOTE=Zupinata;19612914]You forgot Glados!![/QUOTE] D: No I didn't. I put in all her cores. The spheres in the foreground? Yup.

You should turn up your graphic settings, If they are up turn on anti aliasing.

[QUOTE=brubru10;19608693]Wth is lammar doing there??????????????????????????????????????????????[/QUOTE] [B]Get. Out. [/B]Also great picture and like everyone else is saying needs a tiny bit of improvement and anti-aliasing.

[QUOTE=Zupinata;19620501]Only one of the cores is a girl!!!, D:[/QUOTE] What? Where did you get that idea? I mean, it could be argued that like humans, GLaDOS has both feminine and masculine aspects, but somehow I doubt that this was your point. GLaDOS is referred to and is voiced by a female, though it could also be argued that GLaDOS has no gender. Her cores make up her A.I., a bit like our brains, (a different core/center for different functions), so to exclude any would be excluding parts of her. Anyway, you said that I left her out. When I pointed out that I hadn't, you then countered by saying that only one of her cores is female. What? I guess I don't follow that logic. ANYWAY: I now know about the antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, so I should be adding a higher quality picture to this thread shortly. EDIT: Here it is! Better?

Huge improvement. Anti-aliasing can basically make or brake a screenshot all the times. But yeah that looks awesome.
