How to customize your artwork showcase or capture.

Do you like animated or anime profiles?

PD: Level 10 min

Introduction

Hello I'm Vali and in this guide I will teach you to personalize your profile or rather your showcase of artwork or captures.

Necessary Programs

To create an original artwork you obviously need After effects and photoshop

Step 1

The first step is to think the profile you want to have, it can be anime, graphic design, whatever you want. (MLP too)

Here are some examples:

Fantasy (Abz ⸢Editor⸥):

Graphic Design (Jolty is Near):

Anime (Fexna):

Step 2

The second step is to look for backgrounds for your future profile.

Here some guides of the best backgrounds of steam:

After having found your favorite background we go to the page of steam.design that will serve us to download the images so we can create our artwork.

Step 3

We checked in steam.design and from there we chose the fund we bought.



And we touch where it says "Download ZIP"




If you did not understand, I'll leave you a tutorial where you can explain the page better:

Step 4

We open After effects and create a new composition that measures 614 Width and Height what has the image. (Then we separate it)






We import the images called: Artwork_middle and Artwork_Right_Top
and align them well.

Step 5

When you finished you have to have something like that.




Now you have to render and make two more compositions. One with 506 of Width and the other with 100.

Step 6

We re-render in separate parts helping us with the black border and we pass it to photoshop where we are going to convert it into gif.

They open the video and put save to web.

Note: Remember that the steam limit is 8 mb so whether or if you have to weigh 8 mb. (you can lower the quality to weigh less)

Step 7

This is the part where they have to decide whether to upload it as artwork or as capture.

Go to this link ↓

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/edititem/767/3/

In any part of the page press "F12", go to the console and put this code

document.getElementsByName("image_width")[0].value = 1000;document.getElementsByName("image_height")[0].value = 1;


If they want to upload as capture they put this command and the same as the previous one.

document.getElementsByName("file_type")[0].value = 5;

Conclusion

You should have something like this.´








Although let's face it, no one is going to do all this and almost always end up paying.
