Progress post 1/?
After I've had a little bit of time now trying Cyberpunk VP on PC I wanted to share a bit of my progress. This was the first picture I ever took of Vinnie on PC. Just Vanilla Cyberpunk, no mods. I skipped time for better more interesting lighting.
I remember being like, meh, not that much of a difference to my PS4-Vinnie.
So, I decided to recreate this with what I know now. I have a skin mod and a hair mod installed and AMM. The rest is still Vanilla (no poses, no clothes). I went back to a Ripperdoc to give him his old hair. This is the result.
Okay, now there's definitely a difference. The extra lighting has the biggest impact, I think, and I am still very much a beginner with this. But also the portrait mode. I could have had that from the beginning, but I just didn't see it until someone mentioned you could tilt the camera 90° degrees.
I will always be thankful to @theviridianbunny, who inspired me to take a deeper look into Cyberpunk photomode. And to @cyberpunkaddict for being generous with advice and tips! Both of you were among the first mutuals I had, and it means a lot to me! I have to thank @fereldanwench for her detailed tutorial on AMM, which is a godsend!
And now, just for fun the shots that I would actually do at this location nowadays because, well, for one, Vinnie has definitely an 18+ rating going on and second he's a bit of a goof as well lol.

Welcome to Niloy November 2024!
Starting November 1, use the above prompts for each day of November to create something new for Aloy x Nil. Tag #niloynovember, #niloynovember 24, or @ niloycentral for a reblog!
Special thank-you to @kittleskittle for the photomode background for this year's prompts!
What is it?
Above, you’ll find a table of one prompt per day of November, most of which contain special significance to the relationship between Aloy and Nil. For those participating, simply take the prompt and create something around it for that day.
As Niloy November starts the day after the Horizon Zero Dawn remaster release, this year's prompts lean heavily into themes between Aloy & Nil in this part of their lives - but that doesn't mean you're restricted to setting your art, fics, gifs, or photomodes during the Horizon Zero Dawn timeline! You're welcome to use them for Horizon Forbidden West and beyond as well!
What can I make?
Whatever you feel most comfortable creating!
If you’re a writer: a drabble, ficlet, even a poem! No word count minimum or maximum, but in the spirit of the event, I recommend no greater than 2500 words.
Artists can do sketches, doodles, fully rendered pieces, comic pages, whatever they are inspired (and have the time) to create.
Gif-makers, virtual photographers, and other types of visual media are also more than welcome to participate and we encourage it!
For prompts that limit gifs and virtual photography, alternates have been provided – though you are welcome to use the alternates for art and/or fic for the given dates, if they inspire you more.
In addition, you are not limited to one form of creation. If one prompt inspires art, another inspires writing, another has the perfect shot from in-game photography, feel free to mix it up!
The only ask is that whatever you create be new for the prompt. However the prompt inspires you, run with it! Some may feel “on the nose,” but those can be fun to explore metaphorically too!
What are the restrictions?
For fic submissions, please use the appropriate submission tags below the text box. All ratings are welcome provided they are properly labelled.
As per Tumblr guidelines, we cannot show any NSFW art or photomodes. If your submission contains NSFW material, please submit a suitable crop preview or censored version that can safely be displayed on Tumblr. The post will also, if possible, have a Mature community content label. This also applies for other types of Mature content.
Can I team up with someone for art or writing for a prompt?
Yes! Fics and art are welcome to inspire each other.
Where do I post?
Wherever you feel comfortable sharing. Fics should be posted on AO3 and you are welcome to share the link on your own social media or in a server. Mostly, I encourage you to submit it directly to the niloycentral tumblr.
If you have a Tumblr: You can submit it directly to niloycentral, or tag your post with either #niloynovember or #niloynovember24 – both will be tracked! You can also @niloycentral.
If you don’t have a Tumblr: You can submit the art or photomode itself directly, or link to your creation on other social media (Twitter, Instagram, AO3, wherever it is hosted) through our niloycentral submissions page using the following format:
Creator: your @(social media) or your alias
Prompt: what day/prompt you have submitted
Plus any applicable tags as per checkboxes below the submission area.
#niloynovember and #niloynovember24 will also be tracked on Twitter, but to make sure we see and catch everything, I encourage submissions to niloycentral Tumblr!
Do I have to do every prompt?
We don’t want anyone to get burnt out or frustrated. Some prompts will inspire more than others and we all have days where we just can’t. You definitely don’t have to do every prompt to be included! Your creation will be featured whether you do all 30, or 19, or 12, or if you even only do 1. You’re more than welcome to continue working on the prompts after November as well.
Do I have to do them in order?
No… but if you do submit to the blog for a prompt from later in the month, we will schedule your submission to post on the proper day (based on EST). Any submissions from previous-day prompts will be posted as usual.
Prompts are being released now, but we ask that you do not post until November 1.
Happy creating!

We've done it... It seems like I've figured out how to make working (well, mostly working at least...) poses for Cyberpunk Photomode. Sooo...
Dramah pics! A shitload of them! With badly made poses that clip with each other soooo much! XD... But hey, what you can't see...
So, I wanted to make a pic for this scene so much, but of course, I couldn't find the exact pose for exactly what I wanted. So, being the stubborn little tough bunny I am I decided to learn how to do my own poses!
Of course, without @cybervesna and @blackrevell I'd still be here trying to figure out why everything doesn't work as it's supposed to be, so... Thank you very much, to both of you!

Hello! I’m playing DA: Veilguard too and just wonder if you have any tips when taking good screenshots? I’m used to BG3 but this Veilguard photomod is so different. Also what I mostly want to know are what reshade shaders you recommend using for making pretty screenshots? I’m not a newbie so familiar with more ”difficult” shaders and stuff, just not sure which ones to use to get a deep effect and good highlights and shadows like in your screenshots :)
Thank you so much in advance! Love your account :)
Hi Anon! I hope you're enjoying the game.
I haven't taken too many shots yet, but I'm using the camera tools by Frans Bouma (Otis_inf) rather than the in-game photo mode, it offers more control, you can increase lods (level of detail), and it has hotsampling built in. His tools are definitely worth it imo.
As for ReShade, I'm not playing with any shaders, but for screenshots I adjust shadows/highlights/contrast with ReGrade+, and occasionally adjust the tones a little there too. I use Meteor Film Grain, and occasionally Solaris for bloom. It's rare I use RTGI, but I do once in a while. I do use ReLight quite a bit, but I find the depth buffer is really screwy when hotsampling, so sometimes I have to go without. For DoF I'm using IGCSDOF, which can only be used if you also use Frans' camera tools (even though it's a ReShade addon). It really is a superior type of DoF, so if you haven't used it before I definitely recommend it. It takes a little getting used to but the benefits are worth it.

Hi! I’m newer to vp and I really love your photos. Especially how they tell a story. Do u have any advice for setting up lights for 2 or more people in a photo with just AMM and photomode (or anything available on nexus)? Thank u :)
Omg, thank you so much! I always think my light game is awful 😬
I use CyberLit addon from Otis Camera Tools, so I don't know how to use other light tools. I know there's AMM light spot and Charli on Nexus, tho.
What I can do is to show a bit of my theory I guess? Some time ago I was explaining my light game to a friend so I'm gonna copy-paste it here and expand with screenshots.
(Please keep in mind that I'm not a professional and I learned everything from fucking around and finding out + reading some articles here and there)
So what I do is observe the environment my characters are in, and based on that I "extend" the lights that are around them. For example, here in this specific shot, you don't see any light sources, but having the bigger picture in mind I set them in a specific way
Most of the time I have 2-3 lights spawned, I use CyberLit so it's a 90% "point" option. I sometimes go for "spotlight" when I don't want the area to be lit up too to make it seem more natural like the light source comes from something natural.
Here (the bigger picture) I used the environment to make it seem like the light goes from a skyscraper:
Even tho, if I changed the perspective it would show that the actual light is pointed somewhere below and not even there. Getting the right angles allowed me to bend reality to what I needed.
I also use the environment to enhance what is already in-game, for better effect:
Here I put yellow light in the same color as the table but from above to make it more unified and simply more flattering. It still looks natural, as if there's a second light source off-frame
(also here you can see the big screen from the pic above that is off-screen, it has white light mostly so I used that in my pic as an extension)
You can also take some creative liberty in what you do, and add things as you need, following the "natural order of things". It's hard to explain honestly so I hope you get what I mean.
When situation is dynamic (characters move) it's good to keep the light coherent, in the same place:
However, you can still adjust it to be flattering for the pose yet keep it looking natural. I usually move it a bit left and right to get the best results.
Even tho the perspective changed, the light is in the same place, naturally since now she has an open position towards the source of light, more of her body will be covered.
To end this, more on liberty. Here's an example of the environment I built entirely which is Kurt's apartment.
By having any "natural" source of light off-frame I can do whatever I want, and our mind will assume that some source is somewhere we can't see it. I headcanon Kurt has a colorful LED above his bed and a chandelier in the middle of the room, hence I follow the "physics" of it, which looks natural. I also keep that in mind while taking other pictures in this location
Perspective changes, but the light source remains in the same places (chandelier and above the bed).
Also I love this pic - honestly, don't be afraid of straight lighting things up from the front. When I take pics like this I have in mind that the camera has flash on, and it looks absolutely cool too.
I hope that helps!

Absolutely in love with your Horizon series shots))) Thank you for continuing to take and share them, and I am really glad to see them. Partially because the games never really got much attention, but mostly for the perfect way you manage to find and capture the beauty of this particular virtual world. Also, my respect for switching to ps4 at times, obviously the resolution is not as high there, but I still find the games gorgeous on that (quite old now) hardware.
oh wow, thank you so much!!! yeah, poor Horizon seems to get overshadowed no matter what it does, and it's such a shame because Guerrilla does amazing work on it. the fact that it looks as good as it does on PS4 is astounding to me. I'm thrilled to hear you think I capture the beauty of it, because I definitely think it's a staggeringly beautiful game.
I'm just glad other people appreciate what I post <3 since ever since I (re-)started playing games in late 2019 I've been captivated by the existence of photomode - since that was never a thing in the games I played when I was a kid. I honestly don't have a ton of games under my belt, but no game I have played has ever been as fun for me to take pics in as Horizon. or as fun to play!
I haven't been playing as much lately (life ugh) but I still have a captures folder with thousands of shots in it and I plan to keep at it until (and after!!!) we get some New Horizon Content!

hey em! do you have a list of mods you're using for cyberpunk 2077? loving your shots!
Thank you so much!! This really means a lot to me ❤️
I wanna preface this by saying I haven't updated to 2.2 yet so I don't know if any of the mods I list are out of date or broken with the update. I think everything should be good to go, but make sure to check.
VP Must Haves:
Cyber Engine Tweaks - if you aren't already using this, it's going to be a requirement for a lot of other mods on the list
Appearance Menu Mod - used for a lot of things including spawning & swapping NPCs, posing characters, adding props (including some lighting), changing time of day, teleporting to locations and a lot more.
CharLi - for custom lighting. This does most of the heavy lifting for me. There's some lighting options in AMM, but I mostly just use CharLi to light shots
Photomode Unlocker - allows you to use custom pose packs
Nibbles Replacer & Nibbles Unlocked - adds Nibbles to photomode and allows you to replace them with NPCs
Otis Camera Tools - gives full control of the camera, allows you to pause in game, HUD toggle, hotsampling, and includes CyberLit custom lighting. Note, this isn't free and I believe it needs to be updated every time the game updates. I rarely use this and when I do it's usually just for hotsampling if I feel like it. I believe the newest game updates added a lot of the features that this offers anyway, but it is a nice tool if you're interested
Photomode Expressions Pack - adds a bunch of facial expressions (static & animated) to photomode
Facial Expression Swaps for AMM - swaps the facial expressions in AMM if you prefer AMM
Photo Mode Tools - Allows binding a hotkey to CET to freeze/unfreeze the look-at-camera animation in photo mode
As far as poses go, I have way too many downloaded to put them here but if you go on the Cyberpunk Nexus and search for poses you'll find a lot of incredible packs
For lighting, I mostly just use CharLi. I have a few presets saved but for a simple set up I use 2 spotlights (low intensity) and then 1 or 2 favelas lights in a color that's complimentary to the background of the shot. I know a lot of people use AMM lighting, but I have never really explored the lighting options there that much.
Here's a great lighting tutorial and FOV tutorial by @fereldanwench
If you're Interested in the mods I use for Viggo specifically:
Atlas Body
Body Hair
Face Tattoo
Body Tattoo
Hair
Complexion
Modular Piercings
Cyberware
Cyberarm
Eyebrows (Edit of eyebrow #2)
Darker Eyebrows
And and irresponsible amount of clothes

Firstly, your Cyberpunk photography is fucking incredible. I love your characters and- as a side note away from my main question- absolutely need to know what mod you used for your V’s long hair. Plus seeing Kerry content is automatically a A in my book because he’s just the best character- what can I say? Anyways, I’m sure it’s been asked hundreds of times- but, how do you manage to get your photography’s so… perfect? I have a pretty beefy PC and run CP on the highest graphics but both with and without mods all my pictures always look so blurry and terrible- specifically around the faces. I’d love to know how you get them so clear and beautiful plus any tips and recommendations on your posing/composition.
This is so kind, thank you so much omg. Your message just made my week <3
For your first question, you can find the hair here!
As for my shots... Honestly it's mostly just me balling it haha. Mine used to be very blurry too but I can't for the life of me remember my settings when that happened, but I do know Path Tracing makes stuff look weird for me even tho my video card should be able to handle it. In general, ray tracing is always off for me, and I have Resolution Scaling on DLSS quality priority with max graphic settings (except for clouds, those are on medium(if that even matters)). Once in photomode tho, it's just a bunch of messing around and see what works. Most of the time I first press space for a quick render to fix the lighting/shadows, then I start messing with the exposure/contrast/filters a bit to enhance the colors of the overall composition, and sometimes I throw on a reshade that compliments the vanilla look further. My general FOV is around 20-30 with 70-80 on DOF cause I feel that makes the overall shot look most crisp and if necessary I'll clean up a bit in photoshop afterwards, but most of the time i just use it to slap on a filter and some grain and call it a day.
After I throw it into photoshop, the end result would be something like this:
As for tips on posing/composition; first and foremost, in-game lighting is your best friend. There are plenty of spots with neon signs and spotlights that give great lighting. If I found a great spot but aren't too sure about the lighting, I also tend to mess around with AMM and adjust the time of day for better (or no) sunlight. Or you found the perfect spot but the lighting is just a bit off? Spawn some spotlights or area lights with AMM to enhance your models! I usually just roam around, find a spot I like as background, and then go from there with setting up an outfit/color scheme/pose. Most of it for me really is just throwing shit at the screen and seeing what sticks tbh. I do use the photomode grid a bit especially for 16:9 shots to align my models a bit off-center cause that just looks better to me personally.
And that's all I can really think of right now.. Sorry if it's not much of a help or all over the place, I'm currently sick and my brain isn't functioning too well lmao. If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask! I'm more than happy to answer!
#ask#cyberpunk photomode#praying this answers your question#brain fog is severe rn hahaha#but thank you again for the kind words!!! ;w;

What do you use to get such incredible screen shots?
Thank you, glad you like them! I use the Otis_Inf Photomode Mod for Elden Ring along with ReShade (mostly relying on a couple of shader presets I found on Nexus, occasionally tweaking them a little but they look way nicer than anything I could come up with when playing around with the shaders on my own). (The only trade-off with the camera tool/photomode mod is that I must play in offline mode. I miss the messages and the bloodstains, but taking screenshots makes me way too happy.)

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕
eeeee dream thank you!! <33
I'll share some of my favorite shippy shots!
These are all from last year, when I was still mostly relying on mods made by other people, photomode and AMM lights. I remember struggling so much to get them properly placed and have the lights feel right, but the effort was so worth it!
And these are a mix from late 2022 / until now in 2023! I've made so many specific mods for them (specially Panam), got way more comfortable with Otis and posing, as well adding lights!

Radfem/💇♀️: Are you a radfem, just radfem-adjacent, or just gender critical?
radical feminism is the form of feminism that actually aims to improve the material reality of women. choice-y lib-y pomo-y “feminism” is just decorating the cage,.radical feminism is getting out of it 🐅
Peak/🌄: What was the first thing that peaked you, and when did you peak (not just specifically “peak trans,” but anything “peak patriarchy”)?
peak trans was the rape rhetoric towards lesbians
Everest/🏔️: What has been your worst subsequent peak?
when nobody who supported the gender movement was pushing back against the rape rhetoric towards lesbians.
one time i did see someone say “don’t say that” not because it was, you know, rape, but because it’s quote: “bad optics”
Separate/🚷: Are you a female separatist or a lesbian separatist, and to what extent?
GNC/🥾: Are you GNC, and to what extent?
no one would describe me as gnc, and i’ve got shiny long hair and pretty privilege (lol) to thank for that. i mostly only leave the house for work (in scrubs) or or the pottery studio (in a tshirt and overalls or sweatpants.) but when i’m wearing something in my style it’s usually pretty feminine, albeit practical. i refuse to wear anything debilitating or uncomfortable. i straight up lose respect for anyone who has those long false nails 🤮
Orientation/🩲: Are you a lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual?
lesbian 🌈 lucky me ☺️
Bi/🔺: If you’re bisexual, are you a febfem?
Hetero/👫: If you’re heterosexual, are you choosing to be celibate?
Picrew/👤: No more identifying information, make a picrew icon of yourself that doesn’t look like you.
what about some of my photomode snaps from horizon zero dawn and forbidden west?
Leg/🦵: Where does your leg hair start getting darker (above the knee, mid thigh, dark from the moment hip ends and thigh begins)?
at my knees
Body/🔍: Do you have more/darker body hair on your left side, right side, or about equal on both sides?
equal i think?
Carnivora/🦊: Are you more of a cat person or a dog person?
I’m bipetsual.also i think hating dogs or hating cats is embarrassing and demonstrates poor character and you shouldn’t admit that in public…
Baby/👶: How do you feel about the baby plane (funny answers only)?
i’m zooted out on benzos seroquel and complimentary drinks when i’m flying so i am OUT snork mimimimimi on planes…
Natal/🤰: Pronatalism, antinatalism, or natalism neutral?
natalism agnostic i guess? natalism skeptic? i cannot relate to wanting to give birth,but i get that not every woman desires the same thing. and i have no interest in denying women the opportunities and resources to be mothers. however, i believe in the importance of empowering women worldwide with access to education autonomy over their reproductive health. when women are empowered, birth rates go down. this is a good thing. woman choosing when to be mothers , or not, is a good thing. i believe in humanity (despite everything) and would like to see us continue to survive as a species. however unending population growth only serves a few very powerful people because capitalism demands endless growth. it’s not a sustainable future and it’s not the future women want.
-Fem/💻: Do you identify as a member of any of the -fem titles (factfem, nicefem, rudefem, etc)?
not really. however the only posts and comments i have made that seem to get any attention are snarky comments and jokes, so i guess i come off as a rudefem more than anything else. which is not how i conceptualize myself and not exactly the energy i want to put out there to lesbians and gnc people who go along with gender nonsense. or especially to ones that are really struggling, feel pressured, or have existing trauma or mental illness exacerbated by gender propaganda. above all else i just want lesbians and gnc people and kids to be safe and healthy. i just don’t know if there’s much i, using a tumblr blog, can do about that.
Animal/🦕: If you had to pick an animal to represent your blog, what would it be (catfems, you don’t have to answer cat)?
a wolf 🐺 because i want my mate . AwoooOooo
Labrys/🪓: If you’re a lesbian, how do you feel about the labrys (both the flag and the icon)?
uhhhhmm..
Interest/😍: If you weren’t a radblr user, what would your blog be about?
i wouldn’t be me if i weren’t a feminist and weren’t true to myself and my interests. if you can’t be a feminist in a low stakes forum like tumblr, where Can you be a feminist?
Gender/💩: Here’s the link to get a random Wikipedia page. You now have a neogender based off of the page that was pulled up–what is it?
Man on the Moon (soundtrack) oh?
Feminist/🦸♀️: Are there any particular feminists or feminist groups you look up to?
i look up to every lesbian who is being true to herself and not taking male bullshit
Woman/��: For $0, name a woman.
Azealia Banks
Man/🧔: If you could kill one man (excluding politicians, billionaires, and those responsible for world tragedies), who would it be?

Cyberask 2077
Tagged by @smilepal, thank you so much!! 💕
1. When did you buy the game?
It was actually a pre-ordered Christmas gift from one of my best friends. I think it was maybe about a month or so before it launched? I had expressed interest in playing the game a few times and my friend kept that in mind lol it was probably one of the best gifts I've ever gotten because it completely sparked my obsession with Cyberpunk 2077 (and the rest of the lore), which lead me to my current hobbies and my new friends.
2. When was the moment you knew you loved the game?
Definitely the montage of our time with Jackie right after we meet him. There's just something extremely endearing about him showing you around, taking you into his mother's house, climbing up the mercenary ranks, etc. There's also the scene were we see Johnny's engram in V's apartment for the first time. His smug ass just standing there, thumping his head against the wall. Ugh, I fell in love immediately.
3. Which character did you romance in your first playthru?
Imagine my disappointment when I found out Jackie was already dating Misty, and Vik was unromancable. Then I go and fall in love with Takemura (and my urge to un-corpo him) only to find out that he is also not a romance option. And of course, neither is Johnny, who I feel my V had developed a VERY strong bond with and can easily see them being in love. 😭
So, finding out all my options were off limits, I eventually fell into bed with resident beefcake River. I liked him as a character and I like his voice actor a lot. But it wasn't really fitting with my V.
4. Whose your favorite NPC?
There's so many I really enjoy and REALLY wish we had more interactions with. I liked Dum Dum a lot and I always try to spare him if I can. I like Mateo and wish he had more lines. Takemura was my favorite right alongside Johnny, both two characters I love deeply. Misty endeared me immediately too, with her soft spoken ways. And of course, I'll do anything for Rogue.
5. Did you have inspiration in mind when designing your V(s)?
Not really, to be honest. Paola wasn't my first V. My first one was unnamed with zero backstory, she was mostly my tester run while I got used to the game and saw what decisions resulted in what end-game. I just slapped together some sliders I thought looekd good (spoiler, they didn't now that I go back and look at her screens lol)
But I accidentally deleted her when I saved over her playthrough lmao! So I created Paola (who was also unnamed at the time). I just experimented with the sliders and was lucky enough to have fallen in love with her look. The mods also really helped lol
6. What's your go-to vehicle?
Admittedly, my driving in-game is not the best and I feel cars are way too janky to maneuver, so I stuck with using bikes for Paola. She uses the Arch Nazare we buy from Wakako (customized via mods) for pretty much everything, both in-game and in character. The times I am using a car though, it's usually the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech we get from the Sex on Wheels quest.
7. What's your favorite gig/mission/job?
Oh man, it's been so long since I've replayed the game again (mostly spend my time in photomode now lol), but I really loved Kerry's quests involving Us Cracks. He just has huge boomer vibes with them, it's very hilarious to me. I also really like the quests were Johnny gets his date with Rogue because I ship them hella. It was just a sweet touch which showed that he truly did change for the best, imo.
8. Which NC radio station do you switch to the most?
I often switch between Los Principales, the Dirge, Radio Vexelstrom and Morro Rock Radio. I pretty much browse through all of them, really.

Wearable Jackie's Jacket Mod
Steal Borrow Jackie's Valentino's jacket for V to wear, with options for both F!V & M!V.
please note that there's still some rigging in the collar that can get strange and somewhat distorted in third person and some photomode poses, but I wanted this jacket wearable and now it is and it mostly works for my purposes and so I'm sharing it here. if ever i learn enough to improve it, i will update it. <3
Also, major thanks to @pinkydude for kindly explaining to me how to get the textures to work right. 'Cause I think I would not have figured that out on my own. :D
