What I'm looking for (or hoping for) are pictures of characters wearing armors at the login screen, before the camera has been moved.

I figured that as many people request combinations here, and that they're not always fulfilled, that there might be another way to find out what armor combinations will look like on a character before you buy them.

Basically, you could do it by getting pictures of the armors, in the same place on (preferably) the same character, and then just opening the pictures in an image program and 'splicing' them (e.g, cutting out the legs of one set, and the boots of another and combining them togther)

I reckon the easiest way to do this would be take a picture of your character wearing the armor on the intro screen, before you start moving the camera round. That way, everyones pictures would be at the same angle, distance, and with the same light source. The only difference would be dye colour and the height of characters; it may not work combining a really tall character with a really small one :P

There are lots of pictures of existing combinations in the 'post your necro' thread, but not all combinations people may want. Also, its hard to do the splicing technique because people take pictures at many different angles and distances and in different areas with different lighting.

Anyway, if you could post pictures of your character (male necro atm) at the login screen, wearing a full set of a certain set of armor (with the character icons off: prtscrn+shift), then I'll try to combine bits of armors together and see what the result is. Dye won't really matter, since if a combination doesn't naturally work, then dying it certain colours won't really improve it. For the less expensive armors then one could make a PvP character with a certain set, and then (providing the camera hasn't been moved) just take pictures of him in different sets.

I think it would be good to have a 'database' of all the armors, but pictures taken at the log in screen, and all facing the same direction and with the same light. At the moment people ask for a picture of an armour, and people say "Go to guildwiki it has all the armor pictures". This is true, but many of the pictures on it are too small, dark, blurry, and its really hard to make out what the armor will actually look like.

So anyway, if you could post pictures of your Male Necros, at the login screen, with no character portraits, and before the camera has been moved. Also post your character's rough height. Plain red armors are preferred, but I think I think the basic combination of armor matters more than the dye colours of all the pieces. I'll add them all up to the first post, and have a go at splicing them if anyone wants a certain combination. We might even be able to create a picture for each possible combination ever, if we get enough pictures and I find enough time.
