Process
- Armor
- Find a good location.
- Equip the armor set.
- Apply the armor set to all six pieces of armor.
- Make sure the helm, shoulders and gloves are displayed.
- Dye each piece such that each slot uses a different colour. Where possible, try not to make the armor look unattractive and avoid using entirely dark dyes.
- Take the two screenshots (front and back) during daytime conditions.
- Upload a jpg under the correct name to the wiki. Use {{armor gallery image}}.
- Outfits
- Find a good location.
- Equip the outfit.
- Either keep the default dyes or choose appropriate colors. Where possible, try not to make the outfit look unattractive and avoid using entirely dark dyes or too similar colors.
- Make sure the helm of your armor is displayed (this affects the outfit helm).
- Take the two screenshots (front and back) during daytime conditions.
- Upload a jpg under the correct name to the wiki. Use {{armor gallery image}}.
Good locations
The aim with screenshots is to have a neutral and non-distracting background, with the light falling on the front of the character. Only take screenshots during the day.
- Lion's Arch - east of the Diverse Ledges Waypoint . Sea views.
- Edge of the Mists - bright maps with no day-night cycle. Pick one of the ledges by the initial waypoints.
- Hall of Monuments - not affected by day-night cycle (visually at least), good if you render the images afterwards.
Tips
- A larger image can be taken with either the monitor set to portrait mode, or by using graphics card enhancements.
- Sometimes a better angle can be gained by having somebody else take the screenshot of you.
Quick and lazy options
Although ideally a screenshot will be taken per the above guidance, any image is better than no image. In this case, either the preview panel (accessed by right clicking on a piece of armor or an outfit that you have not unlocked), or the outfit section of the hero panel will suffice for a quick screenshot. Obviously these images will be far smaller than a proper image, and will display a bit of the user interface - the intention is always to replace these images at a later date.
Tasks
- Upload screenshots for each new armor and outfit set after updates.
- Optional: Note down the dyes used in the image summary.
