GShade Guide: Transparent shots with Chromakey
Want a nice cut-out picture? transparent chromakey shots are here to save the day!
You can achieve this with a combination of two features in gshade: ChromaKey, a technique that generates a greenscreen effect:
and Clear Alpha Channel, a setting at the very bottom of the Home tab:
Ready? So here's the step-by-step: first, make sure Chromakey.fx is placed right after FFRestoreUI.fx. Also, check if the Keying Color is set to Alpha Transparency.
Next, set up your scene and position your subject with some clearance around it for the chromakey effect.
Now, make sure the Clear Alpha Channel setting is disabled, and enable the Chromakey.fx filter. After that, adjust its distance in the Definitions panel, like this:
You want to cover as much as possible of the background without cutting into the subject itself. While the only thing you'll see in-game is a black background, the final screenshot will actually replace it with proper transparency!
(Important: make sure to re-enable the Clear Alpha Channel setting after taking your shots, otherwise you may end up with a bunch of fully transparent pictures!)
Chromakeyed, transparent images can be used in several different situations! For example, I often use it to create tutorial slides:
What about reference cards for art commissions?
Or maybe stickers with your friends. Or Discord emotes. Or whatever strikes your fancy. The sky's the limit!
Freya Crescent
So, I don’t know, these are strange times and sometimes my mind is restless, I took a break with one of my childhood games and… I have come back refreshed!
I have many ideas that I hope to draw in the next few days, for now a dedication to my favorite dragon (accompanied by a small intruding fish)
“Two young ladies, both great warriors with a pure heart, carry a heavy burden in their hearts”
EDIT: Morning! I’ll include a sketch I did when she debuted in DFFOO JP. In casual wear with a hairclip.
If Freya could get into Kingdom Hearts, I was thinking she could be a mail carrier in Twilight Town. She could jump around super easy xD
These sketches are a few years old at least, I dunno if I’ll ever finish the idea, so here u go !
i had an idea for Kimahri, too, as a fitness trainer in Twilight town !
No sketches tho 😭
Van Helsing (2004)
Remember the time Hollywood gave us one (1) attractive werewolf in a major theatrical film, and then never did it again?
- Chip gets 11 Moons to wear whatever he pleases but for at least 1 he has to join in on the season! He actually loves Starlight too.
