Hi,

Sorry for the noob question. I see some incredibly beautiful shots of ppl in their 15k and Fissure Armor on this site. Can someone please tell me how to take a portrait shot of your own character?

I know how to take Print Sceen shots of the game screen...just need to know how to take one of your own character.

thanks,
skull

Using the right-mouse button, rotate the camera to view the front of your character. Move the mouse up a bit and you should move in towards the character a bit. Rolling the middle 'rolly-key' (not sure what it's called) zooms in and out.

If you press CTRL+SHIFT+H you'll get rid of the user interface for a better view. Once you've done that, it's all a matter of messing around with the rotation of the camera and the zoom, until you get the perfect angle

Edit:
Dang, someone beat me to it.

And actually all you need to do is hold Shift and press Print Screen to get rid of the HUD
