Brief Tutorial Here
Posted By: XLNC	Date: 12/10/03 8:16 a.m.
In Response To: Re: Weekly Screenshots III (dolbex) : Very very nice. I would love to play around with what you have done here, and : now that finals are almost at an end I will have some time to play around. : Is there any way you could write a brief tutorial listing all the things : that you are doing to get such great shots? : Very cool! Happy Bday! Thanks!! I'm very happy that people like them. I remember when BOLL was doing panoramas, I asked him to do "LionKing" shot (which is what I think the last one is). He didn't get around to it, but I took the opportunity to do so. Well here is what I do. I assume you're pretty familiar with Halo hacking. 1) Get a directx 9 vid card. Set highest detail and res of course. 2) Use BOLL's lesser HUD ppf on the level you choose. 3) Open HaloMapTools 3, open the map and goto the weapons tag. Under zoom, make sure number of zoom is atleast one, and first zoom is set to zero. This gets rid of the weapon on screen when you zoom, without actually zooming. 4) Take screenshot, load into Paintshop or Photoshop and airbrush the remaining HUD away. In Paintshop, I use the "clone brush." 5) Also, if you know what you want to photograph like a warthog or ghost for exmaple, you can switch it with a projectile so you have access to one at any time. That's pretty much it, very simple. Eventually, I plan on figuring out how to get rid of the HUD altogether, I've just started playing with HMT3, so lets see where I get with it. Halo is very picturesque, and it's very easy to find good shots at almost every corner. Good luck! -XLNC
