Using In-Game Chroma-Key or Green Screens
The green screen is an object with an easily replaceable texture. Unlike creating a mod, you can replace this texture in-game with either a still image or a video clip.
- Start the Game Select a location like ‘Newsroom’ or ‘Photo Studio’ that contain green screens
NOTE: Green screens can display either static PNG files, GCV video (the in-game generated format) or imported AVI files.
- Select the Quick Link to the “Media Folder”
- Click on “Toggle Album Controls” Icon
- A nested set of icons appears as sub selection step
- Select either ‘Photo’ (PNG image) or ‘Movie’ depending on format
Using Static PNG Images on the Green Screen
PNG images that you want to appear on the green screen must be in the thrixxx Screenshots folder. The screenshots folder is probably in the following location if the default installation on Windows 7 was used.
C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\AppData\Roaming\thriXXX\3DSexVilla2-Everlust\Screenshots C
This folder can also be navigated to by going to: Start → All Programs → thrixxx → 3D SexVilla 2 → Everlust → Open Screenshot folder
- Copy the desired PNG file into the Screenshot folder.
- Go back to the game and select then . To go to the appropriate Media folder
- Locate and select the PNG image to be displayed on green screen and check the box.
- To activate the selected image to appear on green screen locate the following icons on bottom of dialog box .
- Close the Media Folder dialog box and the selection will appear in-game on the green screen
Using Video Clips on the Green Screen
Video clips can be displayed on the green screen using the in-game recordings (.GCV format) or standard .AVI files imported into the Media Folder.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Formatting and sizing of the .AVI files to work and look good on the different sized green screens is the responsibility of the user and beyond the scope of this help page. Nonlinear editing systems and or transcoders like handbrake.fr may be helpful to format AVI files correctly. All AVI files are not exactly the same as different transcoders may change some data in files affecting their display and playback, so no guarantees that an AVI will display properly or not crash the application if incompatible.
COPYRIGHT NOTE: Video content used on green screens in game and/or recorded from in-game must not violate any copyright holders rights and be used within the guidelines provided in the TOS. Members are asked to report violations of copyright or intellectual property. Violations will be acted upon, and continued violations by a member may cause banishment. Any DMCA notices received about any content being used illicitly will see content immediately removed no questions asked. Note: This applies mainly if you are planning to share recorded video of your scenes.
Working with Video clips is similar to PNG files once in video clips are in correct format:
The Movies folder that clips need to be in to be usable is located in a location like this if default installation in Windows 7 was used.
C:\Users\YourUserNameHere\AppData\Roaming\thriXXX\3DSexVilla2-Everlust\Movies
This folder can also be navigated to by going to: Start → All Programs → thrixxx → 3D SexVilla 2 - Everlust → Open Movies folder
- Drop the video clip file to appear into the Movies folder.
- Go back to the game and select then . to go to the appropriate Media folder
- Locate and select the video clip image to be displayed on green screen and check the box.
(Note: icons for video clips are generic and won't show an image from the video)
- To activate (or remove) the selected video on the green screen use the following icons located at the bottom of the dialog box .
- Close the Media Folder dialog box and the selection will appear in-game on the green screen
