R-Lo's Photography Corner

[mrrakkonn]

@Maximus King Thanks ?

For reference and just because you seem interested here's (in the spoiler) a simple look at what things look like before and after I've a picture. The difference is noticeable, but I wouldn't say it's that different, it's fairly minor. I like to think I mostly practice a fairly light touch with editing. Also, in-game lighting is very important and I don't really think you can compensate in post for poor lighting. So be mindful of the way you light your "scenes" would probably be some of the top advice I'd give anyone interested.

Thanks, man! I really appreciate you sharing that information with me. Super cool of you and, again, very generous.

I'm still trying to find my own look regarding the Sims. I've got a few ideas and a good imagination but it's still a work in progress. I really only started working with Sims photography in the past year or so. A little progress made but I am inspired by people who really have that distinct look. I'll check out the Paint.net program and see if I can get a look that is unique. I respect other's looks and don't do the imitation thing. That's not in the spirit of artistic creativity, in my opinion.

May the Universe give you many reasons to smile. Like, a blowjob or something cool like that ?

 

Something else to keep in mind is that the lighting between day and night (even indoors) is slightly different. With night looking a bit flatter and less rich than the daytime lighting.

And that the different worlds have slightly different image spaces (with Sulani and Tartosa seeming to have more richer image spaces/world lighting), at least to me.

 

At least that is something that I have found and noticed.

I try to go after what I'd actual wear terms of looks in ts4. But seems the general concent is male sims aren't in high demand. Maybe you could add some here. I got no fashion sense because, well no banana.

 

They all ???  Man don't know, have a shirt or whatever.

I've noticed that nighttime lighting isn't conducive to good pics. Bummer but can be overcome with Build/Buy lights added. I don't have Tartosa (My Wedding Stories) but I'll see what I can do in Sulani. That's a cool tip. I wasn't aware that different worlds had different lighting. Lots to learn, obviously. You're a wealth of valuable information, man. Seriously appreciated. I already got Paint.net and it's surprisingly robust for freeware. Thanks for that! I did some minor editing for the next set of pics I'm planning on putting up on R-Lo's Photography Corner. Turned out pretty sweet. ?

I'm not sure about the etiquette here. Would it be better for the topic if we messaged instead of putting this not-photography content up here? I don't want to take away from others enjoyment of the string with tutorial kinda' stuff. Let me know if that would be to your liking and I'll adjust accordingly. Thanks for all the help, though. I'm taking my hot little Sim model, Rayna Rose, to the beach for some sexy good times ?

I don't think that there is really a problem with sharing tips and tricks in this thread for screenshots (someone will probably yell at me soon for posting that ?).

 

And really I'm just an idiot that occasionally gets lucky on a decent screenshot every so often, using tricks that others have shared. So I don't really know what more I can contribute.

 

Another trick that I have found (at least with my game) is that a ceiling light set to the warm white color, and adjusted fairly dim (you have to sort of balance it and adjust the brightness depending on time of day and weather) can add a bit of warmth to a screenshot.

 

But if you want some input on screenshots or anything, you can message me; it's just like I said though, I just get lucky with taking screenshots sometimes.

 

And that is a nice sim and screenshot you shared in your post.

I'll briefly add onto this by mentioning that if you do choose to play around with ReShade or GShade, certain methods make taking pictures or videos easier. I have my GShade hotkey set to the same in-game screenshot key (C) so when I take a picture, both versions are saved. You can assign a different hotkey to GShade as well if you don't want the original ones saved at all. In terms of videos/gifs, BandiCam captures the game regardless if you have a shader or not. I then just crop out the watermark 

I prefer my game pretty vibrant as I think it suits the overall feel of the game, but there are definitely benefits to editing each individual shot manually. I meet somewhere midway and tweak my own preset from time to time to suit whatever I'm doing

With and without my preset on:

That does look sharp. Thanks for sharing that bit of knowledge. Nice shot, too. Feels like the beginning of a story. I dig it.

I'm probably going to start with basic cropping and minor alterations to saturation and contrast but I appreciate you sharing the knowledge. I'm still pretty new at all this. Always working on my skills, though. May as well get something out of the Sims other than my jollies at making everybody have sex   Tips and tricks for editing are always welcome.

 

This community of people really is remarkable in that everybody is very helpful. It's heartening to find a community that isn't just a bunch of people bitching and trolling each other. People do much better when we help each other out than when we're just tearing everybody down. Thanks for being a part of that.

Thanks, and I'd say I'm also relatively new to the whole ordeal as well, and I feel I've improved quite a bit in a short timeframe. Experimenting and not being afraid to try something entirely different helps.

I'll second that motion of this community being awesome. I've liked the stuff you put out so far, keep it up ?

[Maximus King]

Here's a few smutty shots of my Simself having fun with Rayna Rose. Followed by some glamour shots of Rayna with a little less dick in her mouth

 

Okay, so neither Max nor Rayna have any modesty...like, at all...but jesus, dudes, I said you could watch but this is a bit much, don't 'ya think? You'd think they'd never seen folks ass fucking and then finishing with a cumshot to the mouth. Geesh.

 

[Maximus King]

Well, my spoiler game is getting a little bit better but it's not flawless. These are the aforementioned not so slutty shots of Rayna. Tried to put them in a second spoiler but I guess I was pressing my luck with such a tactic.

For spoilers I usually will queue the pictures I want to use (in the upload box, at the bottom of the screen that you type the post in), add a comment, hit enter and then enter, first picture, then enter and enter, click the spoiler icon, and then with the text prompt cursor in the spoiler box, I add my pictures, usually hitting the enter key twice between each one to add a break in-between each picture.

 

And nice pics!

Had a spontaneous idea for a more condensed and not so complicated vid.

 

(Thanks to Santana-Red for their sim Cecilia who is one of my favorite sims by them. Be sure to check out their stuff if you haven't already)

[Papp274]

 

I do use Reshade and have zero issues snapping screens... (print screen button) just like everyone else.

 

As for spoilers, all images I put here are drag and dropped. drop the tittle image hit enter twice after it loads in the editor click the spoiler icon hit enter a few times till you have a big splash area to drag images to...

i wanted to share here my version of mrrakkonn's tracy. this tracy is an edition of a previous version, when mrrakkonn was the first version created in 2019. i want to clarify that i do not claim any medal since the creation of the Sims was done by mrrakkonn. the only thing i did was to edit it to have the Succubus form using the Nisa K mod.

I was working on a new photo set and my game had other ideas and crashed.

Nice job! I love the untold story here. Love the shoes, too. Th red heels, specifically; very nice touch.

 

[Maximus King]

Here's a single shot of a cutie I just created. I kinda' like the way she turned out. The shot is a bit of a strange context. Lana Fairchild obviously hasn't seen much sunshine lately so I don't know what the hell she's doing in Sulani...?

Nevertheless, here's Lana looking all cute and sexy

Here are a few more shots of Lana Fairchild.

 

 

 







 



 




This last shot is called 'Lana wasn't so sure but the mailman loved it'

I didn't do as much editing on these as I should have to get the best effect...but it's getting late and I kinda' want to go ahead and post these. Holiday busy-ness is afoot.
