I'm pretty new to using Garry's Mod, and so far it's been a real uphill struggle. I've searched, but can't find good, comprehensive, tutorials on how to get the most out of Gmod when composing pictures. I have several questions that I was hoping you guys could answer, and I'd also really appreciate it if you pointed me in the direction for decent photography tutorials (Or how to use some of the tools that correspond to photography.).
1) Do I have to use the console to get rid of the HUD in order to take a clean screenshot, or is there are more "in-game" way of hiding it?
2) How do I get the absolute highest possible visuals out of Gmod? I already have the settings turned up to max, and use the developer's screenshot console command (So I get .tga pictures and don't lose quality.) I have a bunch of scripts that will even further increase the graphics quality for Team Fortress 2, does Garry's Mod have similar scripts?
3) Is it possible to make things like cameras invisible so they don't show up in pictures?
4) Getting the right lighting. Any tips?
Thanks a lot, and I'm sure you guys get threads like this fairly often, so I'm sorry to add another one to the mix, but I'll be damned if I can't find any good sources of information on the internet.
1) cl_drawhud 0 in Console
2) In console, bind a key to screenshot (eg; [B]bind i screenshot[/B]), and make sure you change the screenshot quality to 100 in-game.
3) Use the color tool, the 2nd slider (that goes up and down, has a checkerboard), drag it all the way down, and fire the toolgun at the camera
4) Turn off bloom, use HDR correctly, and yeah, there's more too it.
1) Try using bind l "toggle r_drawvgui"
2) What LinuX said
3) What LinuX said
4) HDR is very useful and also using the "post processing" options in the spawn menu under either "utilities" or "options" can give you nice effects. There's also addon downloads that give you more proccessing effects.
