how do you get this lighting effect in photoshop? changing the BG lighting so convincingly?

sage for no contrib

>>1925382
It's called a studio. They got it by actually having it.

>>1925477
that's taken at fanime but yeah filters and such

>>1925468
gakupo's sword isn't really rainbow gay is it?

>>1925382
The photographers used gel covers to achieve the different light colors. With this one we used red instead of blue, and they also mixed two different colored strobes at different heights to play with the colors more.

Sage for self post and irrelevance.

>>1925498
You sure it's not PS'd in? The flash isn't blue because the skin tones and the white shirts. There isn't a blue lens filter because of the same. I suppose it could be some sort of bounced high powered blue light, but doesn't explain the girl's shirt. It's just very weird looking.

Oh was that a little studio set up on the first floor with a blue backdrop? Actually, yeah, that would explain the bounce and reflection. I just don't remember seeing one.

>>1925515
disregard me on account of >>1925504
that's really interesting though

Also, play with your environment. Finding colored walls or... backgrounds. You don't need to do everything with lights

However, its always best to do it on-shot rather than in a program later. Always.

>>1925502
there are renders that have the sword with audio wavelengths on it in those colors.

meh might as well drop one too. BANDWAGON

Moar Gakupo. XD

I'm pretty sure they meant the actual cosplayer, not series/character.

Ok, I promise I'm not trolling or anything, but what is the big deal about Vocaloid? Until recently, I didn't understand what it was because I thought it was a show and yet I had no luck finding it online anywhere. I have since realized that it appears to be some sort of promotional thing for a voice altering product or something? I just don't get why everyone cosplays Miku like she's from some sort of epic fuckwin series? I do love the design of the character, but I just fail to see why it has become SO popular.

>>1928711
To answer this obvious troll question

Vocaloid, specially Miku, became famous for their songs, mostly covers, and since then it just went from "cute" to "fuckwin idol"

Yeah, they are musical idols now.

>>1928719
Oh. Ok see I didn't know that...I can see where there is more hype around it now. Thanks anon, I appreciate the answer.

No problem my fellow anon, next time lurk more. The internet already has a bunch of articles and fansites.

Personally, I love their fanmade PVs, so much win for threathre and acting.

Brb, finishing my meiko/meltdown rin/vocaloidfagging

So, as long as we have a Vocaloid thread, does anyone have any reference pictures for Kaito?

And/Or the tutorials I've seen floating around on making LED accessories?

If you have an engineer fag in electronics they can give you a hand. It's fairly cheap and easy to do too.

That said.

FUCK YOU HKCOSPLAY STORE FOR YOUR 500 MIKU LED COSTUME BULLSHIT

I believe in photobucket there are the graphics, dont know or remember

blatant self post

>>1928775
nice

>>1926756
is that a guy at all? I don't think so

Raise your hand if you cosplayed from this game and played it!

>>1929065
>Vocaloid
>game

Baseless uninformed elitism is way more pathetic than regular elitism.

Just shows your a poser who didn't know it was a game. :/

>>1929073
Troll harder.

Butthurt person being poser whose never played the game. :(

Well technically there is a PSP Miku game called -Project DIVA- that is going to be out soon.

back to topic guys
I don't want to see butthurt people in a vocaloid thread <3

>>1929065
>>1929073
>>1929088
It isn't a game, you twit. It's a computer program.

Vocaloid drama makes this anon laugh.

Vocaloid=/= game
Vocaloid= computer program

If it was a game, that would be pretty damn boring. The Project -DIVA- is like... DDR on a handheld device. Looks pretty fun, actually.

>>1925502
And yes, Anon... it really is rainbow gay like that.

Still dosent change the fact you Americans never touched it and just cosplay from it.

>>1929292
>you Americans
>assuming everyone on /cgl/ is American

>>1929292
Its called being a FAN. You don't have to touch this to be one.

another shameless selfpost

Black Rock Shoooooooooter

How are you a fan of something you never touched/played/ got into?

>>1929330
The program has no substance nor storyline. There's nothing to GET about their characters except fanmade backstories.

VOCALOID started as one thing but now it is many.

Vocaloid - Voice Program Featuring the artwork of KEI for the characters.
Later through its popularity it became a Manga drawn by KEI called: Hatsune Mix

As of now it is also in the works becoming a PSP game called: Project DIVA (Hatsune Miku) Created by SEGA

>>1929330
How can you be a fan of any musical artist without meeting them?
That's basically what you're saying and it makes you sound retarded. Just stop while you're ahead, Anon.

You can buy an artists cd. These people didnt buy the product they like... See what I mean?

>>1929336
THIS. The program is just something simple to make your own songs on. Its the fan base that made it what is now.

>>1929356
You don't have to buy this product. The product literally just comes to you.

inb4 krissy

>>1929347
..... -5/10

That was pathetic.

so by logic then you must not be a fan of anything huh

Like when people cosplay from Final Fantasy 13... and you havent played the game. Then you find out the character sucks balls.

>>1929377
I believe that anon was just restating and comparing what >>1929330 said and proceeding call it stupid.

>>1929388
There's a huge difference though. These characters have no background. Their just like mascots. The only background they have is what fans have made and there are tons of different stories for them.

>>1929397
makes more sense :O

>>1929325

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD BLACK ROCK SHOOTER IS -NOT- MIKU. Knock it the fuck off.

See fans dont even know the characters they like. Just proving my point more.

>>1929569
Why don't you enlighten us, all-knowing anon. You seem to know everything there is to know about the characters, so why don't you share the knowledge?

Are you jealous cause I know the game and know japanesE?

Nigger is the new character and you get to sing oldie hits like My Girl.

could we...like...really get ack to topic?
without those nigra trolls and stuff?
anon would really appreciate this oo

Be a real fan!

>>1928719
The makers of the program did release a couple of animated videos concurrent with the program, but it was the CG artists that turned it into something more than just a vocal song synthesizer. There was art coming out the wazoo right off the bat at rates you usually only see when the next big thing hits the anime community. The fans who turned out covers using the program were a step behind, virtually responding to a need created by all those artists. Cosplayers in turn often take their cues from what is big online, and since the design is so pleasing it quickly engulfed the cosplay community too.

It's really no different than cosplaying OS-tans or any other mascot that becomes big on Futaba/Pixiv/whatever. There's hardly any background for net mascots but if the visual design is nice and there is a demand for and yearning to cosplay those designs, then people will do it.
