Sorry for the noob question. I see some incredibly beautiful shots of ppl in their 15k and Fissure Armor on this site. Can someone please tell me how to take a portrait shot of your own character?

I know how to take Print Sceen shots of the game screen...just need to know how to take one of your own character.

thanks,

Using the right-mouse button, rotate the camera to view the front of your character. Move the mouse up a bit and you should move in towards the character a bit. Rolling the middle 'rolly-key' (not sure what it's called) zooms in and out.

If you press CTRL+SHIFT+H you'll get rid of the user interface for a better view. Once you've done that, it's all a matter of messing around with the rotation of the camera and the zoom, until you get the perfect angle

Dang, someone beat me to it.

And actually all you need to do is hold Shift and press Print Screen to get rid of the HUD
