Introduction:
Welcome! The purpose of this thread is to house, improve upon, and make available a large number of screenshooting techniques, along with other character development tips from various people. Currently they include Shadow', Divine Avenger, Floydian1, trollf, Gadar, Spike4072, Kirel, ... and many others being added as time goes on. They have kindly given me permission to place and maintain their Guides in this thread.

I will say upfront that most of these techniques require that you run Oblivion on a PC. However, if you are a 360 User, click the link in the index below for the excellent Guide put together by colas on how to take screenshots on a 360.

And now, regarding generating faces in Oblivion, there is a great Guide by SeV and thread called: How to make a "Beautiful Character". The posts about this subject that are here, will also be transferred to that thread over time.

Here is a linked index to each topic in the Guides. Just click on the topic and you will be directed to that post in this thread. Please PM me if there are any problems.

I highly recommend that these first three Guides be reviewed initially as they contain most of what a screenshooter will need.

Original Guide by Shadow' including many links to Mods
Original Action Screenshooting Guide by Divine Avenger
Original Tips and Tricks by various contributors

If the above Guides do not contain what you are looking for, here is an index of all the subsequent posts on the original thread:

I still have a lot of posts and links to check and update. Also, I am sure some of the Mods are getting dated, so I will look to review these soon. PM me with any indexing/formatting suggestions, errors you find, etc. And of course, post any tips, mods, etc., that are not here already. Thanks!
