Step 1) The first thing you are going to want to do is get a screen shot or recording of your location in Runelite and then go into blender and pose and position your character. To take a screen shot just click the little camera button at the top right hand corner of the screen. If you are unsure how to pose and export models, check out my other guide – link should be in the description. I have already prepped mine and the camera in blender.

Step 2) Now we have prepped our scene we need our background. To do this we are going to use a green screen technique. The way this works is that it makes everything that isn’t our character bright green. This colour we will later turn transparent. This technique is useful for a variety of visual effects, such as explosions. To do this we want to open the shading tab. Go to where it says object and set it to world. Now we want to add a mix shader. By pressing shift + A and searching for it. Place it between the output and the background. Now duplicate your background node by right clicking it and select duplicate and connect it also to the mix shader. Set the colour to green. You will notice here that our model is effected by these colours and we don’t want that. To fix this we add a light path node, using the same method as adding the mix shader. Then we connect the is camera ray to the fac node.

Step 3) Now we want to render our image. To do this go up to the top of the screen and press render then image. Once your image has rendered you want to save it to a good location. To do this press image and click save as.

Step 4) We want to open photoshop. In photoshop we want to import our rendered image and our screenshot from step 1. Then we select the magic wand tool and click the green. This should select all the green sections in the image. Then we erase the background. Save your image and bob is your uncle.

Step 5) The final step involves applying some subtle blur, so go filters and select gaussian blur and adjust accordingly.

Now if you are doing this for a video the process is slightly different. Instead in premier pro we have both our images or video imported. And we use the ultra key tool. We search for this in the effects tab. Then drag and drop it onto our rendered image. Then set our key to the background colour. To apply the blur in this case we go over to the effects tab and select gaussian blur.
