A gentle farewell. I’m stepping back from XIV and letting the accounts lapse while I focus elsewhere. I’ll still be around quietly - and maybe for the odd update. Thank you for everything. 💙

Patch days are special <3

It's so satisfying when accent and metal tones match. #Viera #ヴィエラ #GPosingway #GPOSERS #FFXIVScreenshots #ffxiv #ReShade #XIV_PICTCLIP #VirtualPhotography #VGPUnite

Sundays like this are made for soft light and softer thoughts. #Elezen #エレゼン #as-stagefx #gposingway #ffxiv #ReShade #VP

This is highly relatable. I just entered my 50s; I love to learn and to share freely, it feels amazing when the little trinkets I make out of my own stumbles (be it related to virtual photography or coding) turn out useful to others. I'll keep doing my hobbies because that's what makes life fun.

A video test now! Audio reactive logo shader: AS_VSX_BoomSticker Margin dot pattern shader: AS_GFX_VignettePlus Preset: OkamiLight Studio Location: Oceania/Materia/Sophia, Mist W17 P35 - Basement

Trying my hand at Studio Choom-style lighting, with soft backgrounds and multiple projected shadows Preset: Okami Fair Skies Studio Location: Oceania/Materia/Sophia, Mist W17 P35 - Basement #gposingway #viera #elezen

A not-so-hot take: I think FFXIV mobile is actually an strategic move from SE to implement an engine from scratch, free from all the technical debt of the current mainline version. That may lead to a revamped client/server version - FFXIV-II, if you will - that'll allow for faster dev cycles.

Further updates for my presets and other information will be stored here from now on! github.com/nael-xiv/nae... #GPOSINGWAY #naelpresets

MOAR #as-stagefx tests: stage orientation controls, so you can correctly place the fog according to how the scene is oriented. Handy for vertical shots! (Thanks @iggiexiv.bsky.social for the suggestion!)

More #AS-stagefx raymarched fog WIP test: height control, color, fog algo type, turbulence, positioning, etc.

#AS-stagefx WIP: raytraced depth-aware fog, perfect for those mysterious shots with your friends with a bit of flowy fog in-between!

@wifi5g.bsky.social 's new Contemporary shader collection is out, as well as @nael-xiv.bsky.social 's updates! x.com/WiFi_photosp... bsky.app/profile/nael... A new #gposingway version with the updates is in the oven. =)

FFXIV is trying out Bluesky! 🦋 Follow us and 🔁 while you're here so you and fellow Warriors of Light never miss #FFXIV news on Bluesky! For our fans around the world, be sure to check out our regional accounts as well! ❤️ @fr.finalfantasyxiv.com @de.finalfantasyxiv.com @jp.finalfantasyxiv.com

This scene reminds me - /blacklist add <t> /blacklist add <mo> First is to black list your target, and Seconds is to blacklist on mouse over. Enjoy!

Thanks @wifi5g.bsky.social for working on a StageFX-compatible version!

#GPosingway 8.2.0 is out! What's new: - AS-StageFX for GPosingway - Full compatibility with ReShade 6.5.0 - WiFi: New presets - LiveStream Collection, GPosingway Edition! Use the update script, or download it here: github.com/gposingway/g...

Volumetric light source on demand! #as-stagefx

#Listeningway 1.1.0.1 is out! The ReShade add-on now informs L/R channel volumes and panning information for audio-reactive shaders. Download it here: github.com/gposingway/l...

This is the aspect I love the most about opensource projects: A user suggested a #Listeningway feature for hearing-impaired people. Now there's a panning uniform that can be used to drive gameplay shaders like this one, that indicates where the sound is coming from.

Shaders are neat and have more uses than you might think: -Image editors / filters -Animated backgrounds -Video game VFX -3D rendering -Math and science visualization -Data visualizers -Parallel data processing -Procedural / generative art -Physics simulations And more!

Thank you, guys !! I found the issue. I'll post it here just in case anyone else runs into this issue. #ffxiv

"The evening air was kind, but not enough. Each petal reminded me - of her, of us, of what we buried beneath the terrace in spring. A field of lavender, and not a word left to say." #Elezen #エレゼン #as-stagefx #gposingway #ffxiv #ReShade #VP (I'm sorry for the spam, but I'm in love with this shader)

I'm nowhere near fully understanding how shader creators come up with the genuine works of art like this one by flockaroo, but I can at least do a crude adaptation to make it work with ReShade. The result is *so* good. www.shadertoy.com/view/XtVGD1

Yes, Clair Obscur still has me hook, line, and sinker. A quick E33-inspired gpose for now. =) www.youtube.com/shorts/BQRKv... #clairobscur #ffxiv

In love with #ClairObscur, had to try my hand at a falling rose petals shader! Thanks for the recommendation, @irlinanatulcen.bsky.social !

New video up on the channel! Let me teach you how to make a PNG cutout of your character in FFXIV with the magic of ReShade! No Photoshop needed! 🌹 #gpose #ffxiv #ffxivscreenshot 🌹

#GPosingway 8.1.0 is fresh out of the oven! What's new: - Shader parity with GShade, offering improved support for presets - Improved masking with FFKeepUI/FFRestoreUI - WiFi, TRUEREALISM and Nael collection updates! Use the update script, or download it here: github.com/gposingway/g...

Got most of the audio-reactive effects for the #Listeningway -enabled shaders in a working state! Here's a quick list: Motion Trails - you can select how it interacts with music (new 'shadow' on beat, intensity, etc.)

To boldly go where no Elezen has gone before.

Guess the character and franchise!

*Chef's kiss*, but I'd suggest a refactor to 'public const bool isMale' for a double dig on transphobia and patriarchy

So, it *is* possible to have a DSP running on ReShade! This opens up some nice possibilities for audio-reactive effects...

Glitter + ADOF w/ negative bokeh roundness

Since I couldn't find a glitter/glimmer shader, I'm trying to write one by learning a bit of #ReShade HLSL. It's... surprisingly fun!

Friends that help you farm extremes just to get a mount for gpose shots are irreplaceable - just got these beauties yesterday! #Elezen #エレゼン #gposingway #GPOSERS #ffxiv #ReShade #VirtualPhotography #VGPUnite

I've been working on an update to KeepUI.fx that eliminates the odd effects that are carried along with the UI elements since Dawntrail, to be shipped with the next #gposingway version. Here's an example using Vertical Previewer - left image is using current KeepUI, right is the updated version:
