Birthday Photo Challenge

I like to customize my desktop quite a bit and that includes my wallpaper. While my main monitor is usually occupied with some sort of software (be it Unity, Blender, game, etc) so I don't really see the wallpaper there but I also have a second monitor that isn't always as occupied.

I had this idea that I wanted to experiment with. What if I have the same (or the same with hue changes) wallpaper but there's a different person on each of them as wallpapers rotate every hour?

^ Just a rushed examples, final version would look 10x better.

But in order to pull this off, I'm going to need a lot of awesome pictures. So I have a birthday request!

Take a picture of your avatar with a transparent background.


HOW TO PARTICIPATE

1. Go to 1's Optimized Box. This is to ensure the lighting is consistent.

2. Take out the camera and disable World in mask settings, so only your avatar is visible.

3. Send the picture(s) to me either via Twitter DM, Discord DM (if you have me there) or comment it in any of my Twitter posts.

4. If I don't know your VRC name already, make sure to mention it. I might put it in the wallpaper too for extra polish.


GUIDELINES

Any kind of pose, outfit and so on is fine. Go ham, be creative.

VR is required, so please do not send pictures taken on desktop. FBT is a plus, but not required.

4K or 8K preferred, but FHD/QHD is fine too. Higher resolutions give me more room to work with.

Avoid taking low and high angle shots. Keep the camera levelled as centered as possible.

I'm looking for full body images but you can sacrifice lower legs if it's required for your shot..

Portraits preferred but if you are doing a more creative pose, you can use landscape if needed.

You can take as MANY pictures as you want. I might pick multiple pictures from the same person if they're really good.

^ World is visible in these only for perspective demonstration purposes.


FAQ

Will these be published somewhere?

No plans of doing that unless the person sending pictures gives a very explicit permission to do so. You can ask me later for the end result of the wallpaper I made with your avatar.

Is there a deadline?

Not really, but it would be cool to have all of them in my desktop this week.

What's your home situation?

I haven't found a new place yet, still searching. I have 3 months left to find something.
