OFFICIAL Eorzea's Next Top Model Discussion Thread

[Sadana]

Let's see how the servers represented. There were a lot of them with only a single entrant, so i'm just going to break down the top 3.

Server distribution
Balmung: 11 entrants for 19.64%
Excalibur: 6 entrants for 10.71%
Hyperion: 6 entrants for 10.71%

Evidently Balmung is a model factory! Let's see how many of them made it in...

O.O
What is it about legacy servers? Seems folks like to think outside the grind... I mean box... there.

I wanna cast my votes already ;___;
I hope everyone is doing well

[Tyriont]

The cast list has been posted in the casting thread.

[Seraphe]

And so it begins! Good luck to all fellow models.

[Soleless]

How would you like some statistics while deliberations over the final cast lists continue?

Race distribution
Elezen: 5 entrants (1 male, 4 female) for 8.93%
Hyur: 9 entrants (3 male, 6 female) for 16.07%
Lalafell: 13 entrants (5 male, 8 female) for 23.21
Miqo'te: 28 entrants (7 male, 21 female) for 50%!!!!
Roegadyn: 1 entrant (Our poor, lonely Rho Bhigs!) for 1.79%

I'm all alooooooone

Maxwell, great guide! (note: for those with laptops and no "pause" button or if you prefer, you can macro /facecamera and put it on a hot bar as well.)

I hope all the new models check it out as well as Epsil's guildes. It'll make a world of difference in their shots.

Hello! ENTM GD thread! I'm so very excited to be a part of cycle 3! I'm already working on my first shoot, I have a few potential shots already taken, and a friend who has graciously helped me with a few, but I'm having such a hard time picking which one really fits the theme, truly thematically. Any past contestants have any advice, or thought process on how they narrowed down to that one and true photo that captured the right moment?

Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice or thoughts. And yay, still oozing with excitement that I was even chosen!
Again Hi all!

Again Hi all!

One piece of advice I have is download and use FRAPS. You get so many more SS per button press with that than in your FFXIV SS folder. :3 Other than that, try to think about everything in each shot. Like if choosing between 2, which has better lighting? More interesting weather? Good shot of your face? Better pose? Enemy position? etc. For instance, my shot for the battle one last cycle:


I purely went with this one because of the petals lol, just felt they made it that more interesting. I did have heaps of other shots that looked nice here too, with nice battle animations and such. The petals make it stand out though.
