2good4u2's work

Thanks peepz
forgot to upload this one yesterday:
No chance

amazing shot. yea, he aint gonna make it. I like the placement of your sig. its subtle. almost didnt notice it.

looks like you are trying more effects/techniques to get what you want out of your pano's.
nice action in "hornet down" the effect really accents the pic.
really cool time laps shots,especially "boarding action"(watch out decadence)
i really like the effect on "catch this" how did you make your HDR?
epic explosion on"no chance" and nice detail on the tank.i didn't see your tag till saysmoo said it was there.
nice captures.

thanks
1/2) i duplicated the original panorama, and after the usual small contrast and lighting changed to make it look a bit better i put a 'diffuse' effect on it. (not sure how it's called. it'in effects > stylize > diffuse > #4)

3) i blurred the background

4) i used the darken tool and darkened everything around the edges leaves a small un-darkened spot between it.

5) some last fine-tuning i think.

update:
i wanted to make a timelapse screenshot with me in a bubble and a lot of dead bodies surrounding it. it just didn't work out the way i wanted it to and it's a lot worse than i expected it to be:

secondly i tried to make a timelapse panorama of me getting an overkill splatter with a ghost. it didn't work out at all, but i saw this old timelapse test panorama i used to try out some things. Thanks to Decadence and silent it did work using a new program called ICE silent told me about, and decandence work and tips that helped me get the hang of timelapse panoramas.

Flying hog

My next project would be a spartan standing on top of a pile of bodies. but i'm not sure i've got the time and skill for it.

i think it works well.bubbles and pano's are hard to do together,bubbles and time lapse must be even harder.
i tried cutting out a bubble before and it failed miserably.
that was a huge jump with the hog but what made it do that?

the pile of bodies is a good idea, but i wouldn't have the slightest idea how to do it.

maybe try to splice together parts of a standing spartan and the leg of a spartan getting on/off of a mongoose.

i could cut out o bunch of dead bodies and make a pile of it.
it would take a lot of time and i'm not sure it'll look very good though.

for the pile of bodies you can maybe get a bunch of elites and spartans to stand in a circle. then just walk around and assassinate them towards the middle. then you should have a pile of bodies. hopefully

doesn't work like that. i've tried it. the bodies just cut into each other, they don't form a pile.

3 new ones:

hornet VS hornet
hog VS hog
Blow me away

hog VS hog reminds me of one of my halo 3 screenshots:
http://picasaweb.google.com/x2good4u2x/MyH3Screens2#5379481944109786930

those are really cool. hog vs hog is my fav out of that batch.
dude, I dont know what to say for the pile of bodies. how many do you want? you may have to splice together from a bunch of different shots, then. Its alot of work but I know you can pull it off.

this was my idea for the pile of bodies:

1) cut out a bunch of different bodies with different poses
(some that don't lay on a flat floor)
2) place the bodies on top of each other starting at the bodem.
3) put someone on top of it with some victory pose.

the problem is i don't want to spend that much time for something that can easily fail. i don't think it'll happen any time soon. probably when i'm bored and got a lot of time.

(if anyone wants to, feel free to steal my idea )

now i really start to think of the pile of bodies i don't think it's gonna work out. just letting every body part overlap other body parts is a little too hard and too much work for me.

hey I dont have access to an xbox with live, so if you want to take a bunch of pics that might work and send them to me, i would like to take a crack at it. I havent busted out a haloramic in quite a while.

hornet vs hornet is my fave,love the angle.
the blur on these makes me want to do some too,i havent used blur like this for a while.
i tried the body thing a while back butthe clipping put me off a bit.good idea though.

I AM GETTING ODST TOMORROW!!! :p

lol, the store i pre-ordered is closing for a while so i can pick it up tomorrow. and to celebrate: here's the slightly improved ODST wallremake V2:

http://2900d4u.deviantart.com/art/ODST-wall-V2-full-size-test-137418444

(it's bigger. the size in the preview is best i think. full size looks pretty bad)

i'll make some ODST panoramas soon. (don't worry, no spoilers)

@ saysmoo: i'll send you some screens soon.

I think that It looks digital, not bad. I think that if you touched up his arms with some gritty texture that it would look better.
-Thanks! I await a PM.

my new wallpaper.thanks
cant wait,mine has been sent out(maybe monday)
the rain looks much better.

"Blow away" is amazing.

The first ever ODST and Mythic panoramas (no spoilers):

ODST:
Mombasa streets
Mombasa skyscrapers
ONI Alpha site

Mythic:
Longshore
Covenant fleet (Epicness out of Heretic)

BTW heretic and longshore play great. citadel pretty good.
Only one more day for the rest of you

EDIT :
Some ODST screens
Longshore lol 1
Longshore lol 2

EDIT 2:
This one actually makes a pretty good wall. i'm using it as my desktop now.

if I can get a job on Campus, then I'll be making some ODST panos soon.

wowesome. the first ever ODST haloramics. simply amazing.

leave some for us
longshore and Covenant fleet look epic.
cool screens too.
