How to Capture Great Screenshots of Hallecu's Surreal Scenes

Hallecu Shaders turns ordinary landscapes into strange, colourful scenes. That makes it a fun pack to screenshot. Here's how to get clean shots that show the effects off.

Setting up the shot

1. Press F1 to hide your hotbar, hand and crosshair.

2. Pick a varied view. The pack transforms normal terrain, so a spot with hills, trees and water gives the warping and colour shifts more to work on.

3. Include water. Water surfaces get the wavy distortion, so a lake or river in the frame adds movement to the image.

4. Raise your render distance for wide landscape shots. Distant surreal terrain makes the scene feel bigger.

5. Press F2 to save the screenshot. You can find your images in the screenshots folder inside your game directory.

Day versus night

The pack uses unusual colour palettes and lighting for both daylight and night skies. A matching pair of shots works well:

  • Take one picture of a spot during the day.
  • Compare the two to see how differently the pack colours each time of day.

For still, sharp images, stand still before pressing F2. The distortion effects can look smeared if you are moving.
