Tonight, tcm1998 and I started taking the photos to be used in ACCAT.
By having photos in ACCAT allows you to be able to see what the items in your catalogue looks like, so that when you’re shopping in your local Nook’s shop, or visiting another town, you know what the items you need look like.
To take photos of the items, we use the Gecko USB, which is connected from a computer/laptop to the Nintendo Wii via the GameCube memory card slot a.
The Gecko USB allows you to take photos of your Animal Crossing town that you can’t do with the normal in-game camera. Photos such as the start up screens with Rover, and the bus journey with Kapp’n, plus many more to mention.
The first photo shoot was just to test how well the Gecko USB worked with the items. From what was taken, they looked pretty good.
We started worked on the Furniture section of Nook’s catalogue. As it contains (currently) 734 items, it could take several hours to do all of the furniture items!
Luckily, tcm1998 took control of the Wiimote and Nunchuck and scrolled down each of the items, whilst I was able to use the laptop to take the actual photos.
After about taking an hours worth of photos, it was time to break off for the evening as it was bed time.
I hopefully can carry on by myself with the photo shoot on the next day.
