It is most commonly defined as “art of taking screen-shots in 3D environment” - it is not just ‘print screen’, but it is following same principles as photography - the composition, lighting, depth, colours and often paired with customized settings via reshade/ENB, unique camera tools not part of game. There are few unique branches of the style of screenarchery. The one to make UHD to benchmark latest GPUs and rendering techniques, and others i to stage and alter (Mod)3D environment to make it look either artistic or photo realistic.
It is like photography, but in virtual worlds. I have no idea where this name originates though. But I know it has been on use very long time.
And another sub category of screenarchery is people, who build things just for the 2D/video showcase, and then there are people, who I represent, who try to achieve all above in … playable (aka performance optimized min 30, but preferably 60+ fps mode) mode. This is also why i started to mod Bethesda games to make better, more optimised screen archery friendly environments. And I aim for photorealism based on my analogue and real world light studies. I.e like sunlight is not same in east of USA (California) or here, where I live. There are distinct colour differences on the sunlight that reaches earth. And that helps on building ‘screenarchery’ environments for photorealistic screen-captures.
Yea, but I can’t switch my race in the middle of an arena game by paying for it, and I also can’t race change to human or Night Elf on my horde characters without swapping to Alliance.
Yep, this is true when the Sun is a different height from the horizon. In the morning there’s better light than noon when the Sun is at the zenith. At dusk there are again the better light condition (the golden hour).
Yes! Thanks for the explaining, I’ve googgled here and there and found this nice picture
As far as I’m aware (which was watching a video since this is the first time I’ve heard of it), your character doesn’t change race. You’re just altering the character model appearance (so keeping all your original racials) and it’s all client-side. Nobody else sees you’re a Goblin Demon Hunter etc.
Nonetheless, I’m pretty sure Blizzard won’t take kindly to file editing. “J-Morph” seems harmless enough but allowing it would set a precedent.
Saw a streamer from the most prominent classic WoW guild that dominated Blizzards little Summer Bowl WSG tournament using it quite extensively. They’re a FC that’s also very used to using wall jumps and other tricks to become unreachable in regular play quite consistently.
