Capture Better Screenshots and Videos with Gnome Shaders

Prepare Your Scene

Choose locations with good natural lighting—water bodies, open skies, and well-lit areas showcase Gnome Shaders best. Avoid heavily shaded or underground areas for promotional shots, as the shader's strengths lie in bright, colorful environments.

Optimize Camera Positioning

Position yourself to capture water reflections, sky colors, and how light interacts with blocks:

• Stand near water to show reflection effects
• Shoot during in-game daytime for vibrant colors
• Include the sky in your frame to display the shader's color enhancements
• Use high camera angles to capture large areas and water surfaces

Adjust Video Settings Before Recording

Increase render distance if your system allows it to show more of the colorful landscape. Set brightness to your preference, but avoid maxing it out—the shader's lighting is designed to look good at normal settings.

Capture Gameplay Footage

Record yourself swimming, boating, or exploring to show water clarity and reflections in motion. Dynamic footage better demonstrates how the shader transforms the game compared to static screenshots.

The shader's visual improvements are most apparent in well-lit, water-rich environments with clear skies.
