Re: HOW TO: Hi-Def pics (noob-proof intructions) thanks, I've wanted to enter the ForgeHub competition, but I didn't know how to post map pics. Now i know how in HD! thx for killing two birds with one stone
Re: HOW TO: Hi-Def pics (noob-proof intructions) The next big thing for people to do is incorporate some uber-sweet Haloramic-style pics. Oh wait, I just did! Check it out: [img width=800 height=156]http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb19/youdumbcat/Halo%20-%20SpykeBahl%20Arena/Haloramic-03.jpg[/img] It will seem a bit trippy at first, but this is actually three images merged together, forming one continuous panorama of an in-game moment from my map. Normal Halo screenshots are shot with a 70% wide lens (left-to-right) and even less when zoomed in. This allows for a greater range of shots of your map. No, I'm not claiming I'm the first to make these kinds of screens, just ONE OF the first to use them on ForgeHub.com to promote a map (I don't know if there are others, too many maps to check out!). Go visit the folks at TiedTheLeader.com for more info on how to make one yourself! They inspired me to make the one shot above, and many more to come. --dc
Re: HOW TO: Hi-Def pics (noob-proof intructions) another method would be dumping them directly from your hard drive using anthony's program. these are not uploaded to bungie at all, and there is no need to do any image editing programs. also it works when you cant send your screenshots to bungie sometimes. if its ok i can write a tut later.
Re: HOW TO: Hi-Def pics (noob-proof intructions) Thank for the helpful "guide" to getting hi-def pictures into the forums. Really appreciate it, and will use it a LOT.
Re: HOW TO: Hi-Def pics (noob-proof intructions) Awesom, thanks. I was trying to get good quality pics up, now i can.
Re: HOW TO: Hi-Def pics (noob-proof intructions) Wow! That Tutorial is loads of help. Thanxs, and keep up the good work.
Re: HOW TO: Hi-Def pics (noob-proof intructions) Loads of help. If it wasn't for this tut, all my published maps would have suffered from that fresh-out-of-the-womb aura... Eww, gross... --dc
Nope, actually. The 360 sends images at two resolutions. If you are playing in wide-screen 16:9, the screens will be sent at 1920x1080 px. If you are playing on standard 4:3, the screens will be sent at 1536x1152 px. The 360 does re-render the picture when you take the screen, that's how it can send that 1536x1152 image when you're only viewing it at 640x480 (standard def TV res). However, it will always render only what's on the screen, and use that aspect ratio for the pic. Why? It's so that your pics come out exactly how you see them, i guess. Also, while screens care about what setting your 360 outputs to, films do not. So, if you want a widescreen shot, save the clip, switch your 360 to 480/wide, and take the screen. ----------------------------------- Also: HOW-TO Post Hi-Def images on NEW ForgeHub.com Just post the image with tags. The vBulletin software will automatically resize the image to be 600px wide max, but you can click on the image to enlarge.[/SIZE] [/SIZE][/SIZE]
