Also I'd probably move the front lights in or the back light back since the back light is much stronger and casting a shadow on the front of the piece
You should be able to adjust the exposure so the model is nicely lit, which will keep your background extremely black.
Right now it looks like you have that one clip lamp splashing a lot of light onto the background, which is keeping everything looks more flatly exposed (because there's roughly equal lighting on both the backdrop and the model.
Turn off any main/overhead lights in the room, too, for an even more dramatic effect so you can control the light and keep all your light sources only pointed at the model.
If you swapped this our for a white fabric or paper backdrop, you'd want more light directly on the backdrop to keep it overexposed.
Oh, forgot to mention, everything but the tray tables breaks down and fits into a one-foot fabric cube drawer. You can see the shelf I keep it on waaay in the back corner there!

Getting into high rank might be what they meant by the game opening up. There's still gear progression as you work your way through high rank, but as you get up there you do start to get more choice in terms of what sets are actually good rather than just "newest one is probably the best."
Or maybe they were talking about the actual endgame. Monster Hunter is sort of a loot game, so after you roll credits you're meant to be able to keep grinding fights to get all the gear you want or try to kill monsters as fast as you can or face the optional superboss fights or what have you. And as it tends to go with these sorts of games, while you're making your way through the story your gear tends to be more limited unless you're grinding; just using whatever the last upgrades you made were. But once you're past the credits and now at or around the power cap, basically all the gear is sidegrades relative to where you're at and you'll just naturally amass a broad stable of gear that's easier to mess around an experiment with.
Though, Monster Hunter seems designed such that while treating it as an unending loot game/gaas thing is an option for you, if you just want to treat it as an action RPG and play to credits and then stop, that's still a satisfying game, so the above might not be relevant to you.
Mainline games introduce the generation, it's big monsters, new weapons, and tend to refine a lot of the best bits from the previous generation's experimental games. The exapnsion builds on that.
Then later after the main game and it's expansion have had their time in the sun, you get the experimental game - this is when they tend to cut loose a lot more. Generations/GU, and Rise/Sunbreak are experimental games in their generation. They both get Pretty Crazy. The expansions are also very much in the vein of old school video game expansions - The Frozen Throne to the main game's Warcraft 3, so to speak.
And in World you can actually see a bunch of the tech and ideas from Monster hunter Gen/Gen U intergrated into the base game - New moves added to weapons, new approaches like giving greatsword a very simple counter that dramatically opened up it's playstyle.
Experimental games also tend to be a lot faster paced and zanier in the gameplay - sometimes to it's detriment. mainline games tend to be slower, more serious.
To put it back to the soulslike stuff - Experimental games are closerr to being like Scholar of the First sin - a remix, almost, than they are OG Dark Souls 2 with no DLC.

Not accidentally, this is when the series blew the hell up in a staggering way, as they cleaned up a lot of the cruft and really tightened the series up .

Also the absolute ice cold chat with doggycollar littlegirl, incredible.
Survival is like the only stage where you have an actual threat of failing these days. It can be pretty rough.

really good series
Frustrating having amazing variants on cards that are power crept though.

Obviously wasn’t secretly top tier or anything, but it got wins. Now both those cards are just dead, zero reason to try and pick them up even for funsies
Ehh. Monster Hunter World sold 22m copies, no previous single entry sold broke 5m.
They sold 32m copies between World and Iceborne, Tri with 9.4m across all its versions and games is the second highest by that metric.
When me and a friend were dipping our toes in, it felt like Defense was the only mission we could possibly fail. Like it completely unmatched in difficulty compared to anything else it might throw at us.
yes, that's probably the fastest way to farm somatic fibers
Okay, good, faith in humanity slightly restored. Still a pain when people sabotage my Voruna runs, though.
Duvarii is now, in my mind, time warp to the fallen kingdom and sidequest it up.
My only complaint is that they do not have more kinds of sidequests.
The owl giving me the AC gunship gameplay of call of duty without killing anyone or anything is a delight.
* Granzon
* Weissritter
* Grungust (long shot: OG Getter-tier variable geometry transformations)
* Huckebein Classic (long shot: too many Huckies in too short a time)
* Aussenseiter
* Angelg
* Soulgain
My safe bet would be the SRWA originals (Angelg, Soulgain).

It had a solid fanbase who were very dedicated, but the difference is night and day, seriously. It's basically impossible to overstate how big it blew up - going from 9.4m to 32m is *insane*

I suspect a SSD drive would do it a ton of favors, honestly. I swear i remeber it had issues with streaming content in when it launched

It's interesting watching them all start trying to find their groove with the character and then hitting it. Zac took a little bit but ended super strong. I still think Ify has been the best so far.
It really seems like they've worked up something of similar or even more grand scope here, but are selling it in a more modern way.

- New stages
- New missions/story content
- New arenas
- New equipment with some new capabilities
- All existing equipment and capabilities
All of which is also expected in Shadow of the Erdtree.
Yes AC expansions are not literal add-ons, but it shouldn't matter; that was intentional due to the limitations of the physical-only console game era. My point is that they they still took an existing base and added more, enough to be worthwhile as a separate game. I feel the repeated execution of such releases is pretty relevant to concerns over DLC scope and From's release history.

Thank you past Royce
Okay, good, faith in humanity slightly restored. Still a pain when people sabotage my Voruna runs, though.
Thanks, but I finally managed to grind out enough stuff to buy the parts I'm missing and craft all of them. Unless I decide that I really want a maxed Arcane Blessing for some reason, I probably won't be back there any time soon.
If you're asking me to make some deductions, sure I'll hazard a guess. Based on all I know about this and From Software, I'd suspect Shadow of the Erdtree may end up larger than its file size suggests, but not as large as the base game over again. Consider that unlike Souls, not all new content must involve new areas. Due the more open nature of the game world, it's possible to integrate new content using existing spaces, something not as easy to do well before due to the structure of its predecessors. Their time is almost assuredly less occupied with engine-related development than the initial game, so that's more time for pure content and testing.
