There are a lot of amazing images put out by the team such as these, which feature poses, locations, etc. that cannot be reproduced in game. It makes me suspect that there might be tools available to make custom screenshots! I was wondering, if such things exist, are they strictly proprietary, or is that something that could be released to the community to make our own custom images as well? I'd love to take some more artistic liberties myself!

    If it were to happen, only PC users would get such liberties. Consoles are so limited.

    WE CAN'T EVEN TURN OFF THE UI.

    Yeah, sorry, consoles are unfortunately very limited in their capabilities. :-(

    I think you can take images like that in the game now, with enough players.

    Some of the poses in these images appear to be emotes that are already in the game. And I'm pretty certain some of these images were taken by simply having another player character stand in front of the group. I've seen similar images on this website, but they were always taken by another player standing, looking at the "action."

    Right now, it's pretty much the only way to frame an image like that.

    Edit: I can't find the post now, but about a year ago someone asked for a free-moving camera, and was told this was not possible with the game mechanics.

    The problem with using other people and doing emotes is it had to be synced well and pretty much perfectly.

    In the tool they use I assume it allows for frame to frame posing of animations. And they do it character by character until they're in a proper pose for the scene.

    I've done a fair few screenshots with the method you describe, but it's inadequate for a good action scene that requires coordination, or for one of the many poses that can't be replicated in-game, such as most of the ones in the first shot. I've done a lot of emoting in my day, and the only thing you can come even close to in the first one is /armscrossed. I guess the person laying out is kiiiind of like /sit3, but not really. Anywho, there's clearly either some great shopwork going on, or they have a tool that lets them pose characters. Probably a bit of both. I want in!
