Title: Screencap Contest: November 2019
Post by: NeonShivan on November 02, 2019, 08:57:21 am
Alright ladies and gents, Spooktober has ended. Put away your skeletons and genocidal alien menace for this month's theme is Autumn. Now, allow me to explain. Your screenshots must contain at least two of the following colors: Yellow, Orange, and Red. I leave the creativity up to you, enjoy!

The rules are:

1: No HUD! (Jump nodes are ok though!)
2: Images must be presented as they would be as seen with only the FSO engine rendering the image. Remember that these entries help to show off what the engine can do for new players! So that means no after the fact photoshopping (except for cropping), and no external shader programs (reshade and the like). No lens flares, contrast shifts, colorizers, etc.
3: Max 3 entries per person!
4: Again, these screenshots are a way to promote Freespace and the FSO Engine - let's keep it in good taste.


Nightmare: 3
Colt: 4
0rph3u5: 2
MitoPL: 3
Nyctaeus: 2

Just remembered I had this hanging around in my computer from when I made my first cutscene a few months back. :D

EDIT: Doh. I should've asked first.

Does the cutscene bars break this rule? If so I'll hop on into FRED, remove them and replace the image.

It's perfectly fine, you just mustn't use Photoshop, Paint or whatever.

Unless he want to crop the image. Colt, you can just crop the black bars in any 2D soft and screenshot will be completely fine.

Edited my original post without bars. Removing the operator SEXP for it only took a few seconds. :p

One thing is that it takes time to find the perfect shots, two is that some people might not live in places that experience autumn right now and they're not properly immersed :P

You were the one who said "away your skeletons and genocidal alien menace for this month's theme is Autumn". I could've shown nice Yellow-Orange-Red combo in Capella part 2, or if "not that again" atleast the Fall of/on Vasuda. :hopping:

Psst, the theme just requires at least two colors out of the three listed here: Yellow, Orange, and Red. You can have whatever you want going on it in it, it just has to have those colors. So no blue backgrounds for example.

Oh noes, my backup plan to capture the feeling of an orange-red-blue autumn sunset just failed too :warp:
Could you add the exception rule to the OP? (In fact I already made a setting, just the screen I took looked bad)

I mean, you didn't break the rule because it has orange and red in it. You've fulfilled the requirement.

It took some negotiations, but we got some quality screenshots! You are all worthy of recognition in the archives of the HLP Order. Unfortunately, there can be only one, and that one is Nightmare, because I do enjoy me some genocide.

Winner: Nightmare

This one was a top contender, but I had to disqualify it because it technically has a HUD (see target indicator down below the Apollo).

And by the way, when I said this:

Obligatory spook. In the name of all things Lovecraft this month's theme is Shivans.

Ya know, October's theme? Anywho, thank you all for your participation, time to move onto December!

Why does this one look like it's a screenshot of IceyJones' Vasuda cutscene?
