I guess the first Shepard is always special
Mine was too, but her face was rather generic because I just couldn't get the hang of the face editor xD

That's why I was so interested in Raine

Yeh Jane's face in ME1 was rather generic looking aswell, I didn't rlly have the hang of working with the chargen yet at all.
For some reason it was easier for me with the ME2 CC. Laire, my second, which I really do like, wouldn't really be considered a beauty. She's, I don't know.. she shines at certain moments, at others people would argue against her eyes, the thickness of her lips, her small chin. You know, all kinda of stuff.
They grow on you regardless though. Raine though, I literally spent days behind the CC making (i think?) 20+ chars that I played the first mins with to see them at various angles before I was actually happy.
Not the kind of effort you'd ever easily stick in character-creation when it's your first run-through anyways =)

Gotta say though, I make it too freaking hard on myself, I've got the worst case of perfectionism =/

I know that feeling with the perfectionalism
I dabble in 3D and stuff like that (nothing professional, just Poser/DAZ Studio) and I take days to get a char that I like and want to see in a rendered pic.

Reading how much time you spent on Raine, it surprises me even more that you were willing to share her.
Most people wouldn't do that, because of the time and effort involved, and I would have understood if you would not have been willing to

Making others happy makes me happy (cheesy but true). Having spent so much time on it, it's worth all the more if it's something others find viable to use =) Plus you know what it is, would you have stuck in the hours (or by pure chance), you could have made the exact same char. We work off the same tools, I already spent the time, then you might aswell not hehe, would be a waste.

Heh, this is going to sound cheesy as well, but it seems like we got another thing in common beside the perfectionalism

Alright then, i'll start a new run with Talia, this time with Fraps in the background to capture some screenshots (maybe i'll even try that highres screenshot feature).

I cheat on my bf's pc because it has the power, just run fraps record for cutscenes and convo's, then tab out, either save the movie for later use or screenshot paused scenes out of VLC. Least it's less of a chance thing then and I can take my time to select the exact shot I want to save etc. But well that's completely impossible to do on mine and now I'm spoiled =P *stares at bf watching a movie on his pc*

@ELE: Thnx

well, my PC can't handle fraps that well, but it does handle rather well with playclaw. Still have to save up a few euros to buy it as the demo leaves an ugly bouncing watermark in the video

Heavy fps drop with fraps? It's nasty when you run it on full screen quality isn't it ><


I swear, his pc ruined me! =/

No, it's not the framerate drops that irk me, it is the synchronicity that is lacking... the sound is lagging behind when recording with fraps... the characters are already speaking, yet the sound comes almost a second later.
Happens every time, no matter how short the sequence is, the sound always has synch problems.

No remedy has been found so far, but Playclaw handles it nicely, you can check that out on my youtube Account: http://www.youtube.com/user/jadephyre

EDIT: beautiful new screenie of Raine

Yeah, it really is... as far as i've heard is that fraps only uses one core (if you have a CPU with multiple cores) and playclaw can use as many cores as you assign to it (two in my case) which makes the conversion a lot smoother.

EDIT: yay, another subscriber

I do the same thing! My PC has teh pouwah to capture 1080p at 30 fps in lossless without any issues. Then I use VirtualDub to copy the frames I want to keep. I'm not keeping the clips since ~2 minutes is about 6,5 GB.

Here is my fem Shepard.

What I do have is HD space luckily, 700 gig free or somesuch atm still heh.
Still planning on making a fanvid, but heh, won't be done before tomorrow that's for sure.
I like working with the raw files in Premiere though, asmuch as I viably can anyways =)

@silverhammer08
That Liara vid is seriously naughty btw =P

I can't really say that the lack of HDD space is a problem... I just don't tend to keep things hanging around.


3x Samsung F3 1 TB disks in RAID0 for wicked sequential read and write speeds (2 TB Samsung F4 EcoGreen in external ESATA case for backups). Really sweet for handling large video files and recording.

Raw/lossless is always the way to go. I'm a bit quality freak when it comes to visuals (and audio purist). Nothing less will not do.

I'll most likely start shooting for something when I start engineer playthrough in ME2. Or who knows, maybe something ME1 stuff while I can... Side quests and Feros to go at the moment.

[OT]I've been hot lapping in F1 2010 lately, uploaded one t-cam lap too; great F1 race today![/OT]

I hope I didn't spoil anything for you if you haven't played Lair of the Shadow Broker yet

[Ottemis]

I have but I won't romance Liara, plus i'm not so spoiler-sensitive really.
It's either Kai in ME1 or None, and for ME2 the only options I'd pick would be either staying faithful to Kai, Garrus or Thane. I'm partial to man-parts I'm afraid =P Altho to be fair that'd be an assumption on the Garrus/Thane front I suppose, but in my mind, they're 'well endowed'. *cough*

It's a vicious circle, beware! HDD space is so cheap now that I just had to buy third one.

I really like the fact that they allow some flexibility with the helmets in ME3. I always kinda liked 'em, though even more in ME2 but there wasn't helmet toggle.


Ambient occlusion doing some shadowing inside the helmet.

well, I play a female character and romance a female Squaddie simply because I can, and because I found it interesting to explore such an option (that I like Liara as a character is also a factor) and because i'm no cheat in real life, I won't cheat on Liara in game either

And yes, I am a (straight) guy

Yanno, my maleShep has always been my "canon" Shep, for one reason and one reason only. I've always prefered Ashley as a LI to any of the others, ME1 or ME2. However, the more I play Rani, the closer she comes to rivaling Jonathan. I haven't finished everything in ME1 yet, and I haven't gotten very far in Kaidan's romance plotline, but she's coming alive as her own person so much more than any other Shepard I've played. So far, she's slightly more renegade than paragon, but I'm going thru Noveria now. I still haven't figured out how she's gonna handle the Rachni Queen question, but she renegade-convinced Lorik Quinn to testify. She's turning out to be more law-abiding and by the book than I thought, but with a snarky, no-B.S. attitude, and she doesn't suffer fools very well.

Actually, it's getting so I'm very close to considering Rani my "canon" Shepard, even though the MaleShep/Ashley romance is my "favorite." Don't get me wrong, I have a close connection to my dudeShep, and I'll always like him alot, but Rani is defiantely growing on me. Has this happened to anyone else? Had a dudeShep first, then made a femShep and had her completely steal the spotlight?

pic time!!


I love the smirk.


Yanno, y'all were right a few pages ago...pointing a gun is fun.
