Ingame Panorama Super Fly! !!S3XhqPkAHej
Doing ingame panorama's is somewhat entertaining, just need to figure out a way to hide the freaking weapon in HL2.

OP, are you blind or just stupid?

Actually it looks so crappy because I was still messing around with the program that stitched the image together, so it's zoomed 198%

>>176922
No I see just fine

Here is another attempt

And here is a much better version then the previous one. Decreased the anti-alising, because for some reason choosing 6x just disabled it altogether.
And zooming really helps get a proper horizon.

That is really nice lookin OP. Great job! :D

I've always thought HL2 to be incredibly photogenic.

Excellent framing as well. Do you shoot?

And the last one for now, going to bed.

I'm not sure what you mean by, if I shoot.

I took these images in-game with the help of a screenshot program, and then used another program to stitch them all together.

The stitching program was made from this guys code
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~mbrown/autostitch/autostitch.html
But the version I'm using, since it supports more then only jpg, is called PanoramaPlus 3.
Which can be found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/37256590/Serif.PanoramaPlus.v3.0.0.009-TBE.rar

He meant "Do you shoot?" as in if you had any real-world experience, i.e. knowing what to have in a scene so that it turns out to be a good photo.

What do you mean, shoot?
>> Super Fly! !!S3XhqPkAHej
I don't have any professional experience, but I do know the basics of how to set take a picture and find the golden line to get the proportions right and such. But mostly I find it's just a matter of going with what looks best.

r_drawviewmodel 0 (Hide the weapon model)
cl_drawhud 0 (Hide the hud, though I guess you allready know that)

Made this a while back out of just to shots.
>> Cronauer !sRg2SqGvH.
Oh and ai_disable to pause the AI for choice scenes.

lolololol haha

Nice, will definetly help. Now I just need a method to "pause" the game so everything gets frozen in place for more accurate pictures.

I haven't looked at this one yet - I'm capped and 7mb would take a lifetime to download. But if it's anything like the first shot...

That program you're using seems to be upscaling images, horrendously. The first image looks like it's about 300% larger than it should be, so viewing at fullsize presents a blurry image. What resolution are your source images, 1024x768? Might be wise to max out your resolution and ingame settings to get the best result...doesn't matter if your system crawls, you're not making videos ;)

Have an Oblivion panorama

Also, ai_disable is as close as you're going to get to pausing the gameworld without diving into some modification. Animations and such (like a structure collapsing or a door opening or whatever) can't be paused by any easy means. But pausing the AI will also pause AI vehicles and whatnot. If you need a shot of someone shooting, just let the AI do its thing, use godmode,and take as many shots as you need. Then just go through them later and choose which one you want :)

Using 1600x1200 with max settings, it's pretty much the obvious choice when making things like this.

Wanted to try another game, so here is a picture from the ever blurry Tomb Raider - Legends.
>> Anonymous
go and get fake factories, high rez everything mod. the screen has to be set at 1600-1200 just to see the quality.
>> Super Fly! !!S3XhqPkAHej
Anyone have a suggestion for a good location from a game, has to be able to view in first person, otherwise it's impossible to get the angles right.
