Title: Got Pics?
Post by: Angelus on May 20, 2011, 09:40:27 am
So you enjoy playing FSO? Cool. Have to ask for a favour. No worries, nothing special.
I ask you to press printscreen, while playing. I need screenshots. Sound simple? Well, there's a catch.

The rules:

1. No HUD.
2. Minimum size is 1024*768   
3. Vanilla FSO( with MVPs), no mods.
4. Post Processing filters are fine as long: 1. they are not overdone e.g. Bloom ( keep the values below 60 with lots of nebulae inmission )
                                                             2. the latest Nightlies with FXAA are used ( me likes AA!!)
                                                             3. no black and white shots
5. If/ when taking Pics of Sathanas: only the new one please. ( also, HTLs and nHTLs are preferred )
6. Beauty shots are preferred over cluttered combat scenes
7. Lighting may not be too dark
8. No pics of missions that take place in a full nebula ( e.g. Trinity and similar)
9. don't post questions, post pics instead  :P

When taking screenies, think about what is for you the most impressive moment? Which the most iconic ship? Which moment had the most emotional impact? Was it Bearbaiting? Take a few shots! Take them from different angles. You're the director of your personal FSO movie!!

Thx in advance.

Ready? Go!
 

I'll update the rules as this progresses.

Just asking, isn't the "Celebration of Freespace" basically this? Except that, of course, you have a few rules which rule out specific pics.

I went through "Celebration of Freespace" already but there weren't many i could use.
IIRC, 4 total. And i'd like to have a rather big pool to choose from.

How about checking the wiki screenshots. Lots of nice pic's there.

Why do you need such pictures?

Well, here are some. If you need more, simply ask.

Of course they are with bloom. Bloom made Freespace even more awesome.

I've been on the Wiki.

Like the first pic, the others are good too, but too dark. But keep 'em coming!

Updated the rules in the first post.

Some may ask, "dude, why don't ya take them yourself?"
I could fire up FSO and take screenies myself, heck, i could even take the models and render some scenes in Max.
But there's the problem, those would be my screenies. I need yours.

The nebulae + bloom looks kind of not good.

Bloom isn't inherently bad when done right, but I don't believe he did it right here.

It was just a test, nothing more. Normally, my bloom factor's about 70-80 or something.
