How To Reset Animations In Black Dragon Second Life
You will run across your avatar name in the Poser. Click it. Now you are ready to freeze your avatar. I ordinarily employ the PoseAnywhere HUD or look for the pose I want from one of my AO's Stand up-Animations. When I see the avatar posed as I desire her, I click Start Posing in the Poser. This freezes the avatar.
I have as well arranged my animations into folders. I can plow off my AO and play animations directly from inventory.
With some animations things are moving as well fast and it is hard to click at just the right moment to grab just the pose I want. Grrr… Fortunately there is a handy matter in Black Dragon's developer'due south carte, Slow Motion Animations. Cheque the link for how to get to it and the various options.
This slow-move feature is in all viewers AFAIK. Y'all'll discover it in the Develop menu which may or may not show in your viewer'due south menu. You have to enable it. Use Ctrl-Alt-Q to toggle it on and off.
If you lot are going to modify the avatar's pose, go that done. Accept your snapshot. Do not motility the camera or avatar. Click the Color button in the Snapshot panel and change it to Depth. You'll come across the Preview change. Save the Depth Map image.
Considering the Poser freezes the avatar. It will exist in the exact aforementioned position for both shots. You do have to exist careful as clicking to alter from Colour to Depth causes a new image to be captured. It seems to do this in all viewers.
Once yous accept the two images open up them both in Photoshop, or image editor of your choice. I will be using PS.
Place the Depth Map epitome on pinnacle. It will wait similar the image two higher up.
At present click the Channels tab, usually next to the Layers tab. If you don't see it, click Window (in summit menu)->Channels. And so select either the Red, Green, or Blue channel and drag information technology to the make new channel button at the bottom of the panel.
Click the RGB channel, which sets things dorsum to the normal working manner. THEN switch back to Layers and hide the Depth Map epitome.
Make a re-create of the layer the image is on. Do non turn it into a Smart Object. That won't piece of work for what we are doing. This new re-create is the working re-create and the original is a backup in case we demand to showtime over. Turn the lower layer with the original epitome off and select the layer y'all are going to work with.
Then click Filter->Blur->Lens Blur
In the panel is a drop-downward for selecting the Depth Map Channel. (Run across below) Click information technology and select the aqueduct you created earlier. I copied the Blueish channel and so we see Blue copy here.
Now you can play with the settings until you get the look you want.
If this is your first fourth dimension using this console click on a slider and move it all the way left and right to see what it does. Your experimenting is an easier style than my trying to explicate it to you.
Some of the sliders are sensitive. How sensitive depends on your image.
Once you lot have the look you want, click OK. It can take a infinitesimal for large images.
Ta Daaaa!
Summary
Black Dragon has 6 controls (easy access via the Machinima Sidebar – at that place is a Toolbar button for that) plus on/off for Depth of Field (which is in Preferences). Photoshop has 13 plus a choice to use it or not. You don't have to employ all those controls. But they do extend your creative ability and create a more realistic distortion to the prototype.
At that place are some tradeoffs. In the viewers, you can have things in front of and behind the focal betoken out of focus. (Example BD DoF) The Lens Blur in Photoshop can be made to do that, but it is PITA.
I did this epitome with PS and a Depth Map from Firestorm. I was experimenting. I learned information technology is way easier to use other PS features than a viewer depth map to get that blur in front end issue. And double piece of cake to merely utilise the viewer'due south DoF for this type of focus effect.
I did this image with BD's DoF (same every bit above). It was quick and easy and wasn't perfect, a tree that should take been out of focus was in focus. Information technology would have been an easy fix in PS.
Which you apply depends on you and your preferences. I think I get more than command and a meliorate image in Photoshop. But, it is faster and easier in the viewer.
