Monty Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Here are some new footage photo's i have found. First is a Panther on the move: Second is a German attack wave: Did you see the photo i posted before,on which a Russian gun knocks out a Stug ? : Well, i found a new photo made on that same spot!! I read the Germans moved 2 more tanks on that same spot, a few Panzer IV's. And........the gun knocked them out also Here is the photo: After the 3 kills, the gun was attacked by another wave of tanks, the crew panicked and lost the nerves to aim careful and the gun was knocked out.

Sergei Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Wow, is that the infamous 2-turreted PzKpfw-XI ausf.G "Khimeira" tank? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Monty How do you do your photos? The reason I ask is because some guy on one of the flight sim forums started a method of taking a digital photo of a screenshot. The results are amazing as you can see here. (yes they are all game screenshots) http://oldsite.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bbs/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=001700 Do you use the same technique? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Oh, I actually had one Finnish war-time magazine with a nice collage showing a T-26, thought I'd post it here: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty See if you like mine in the previous thread. Looking at those aeroplane shots, I think a blurring would be in order. --- edit. well here. Recolored and added grain to get an old photo feel... And a colorized the results to get the yellowish B&W photo look. [ August 10, 2003, 06:39 AM: Message edited by: Jarmo ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ant Thanks for the link, its very interesting ! But no, i use another method. In IL-2,the game is almost foto-realistic so its pretty "easy" to convert them to nice footage shots. btw in IL-2 you can use the black/white start movies ( you can add a movie you made to this start) to make nice footage pics ! However, in CMBB the images are much more simpler so you need to try many views and distances and tryouts before you find a picture which is usable to convert to a footage pic. My method: - I use the normal screenshot (printscreen button) and save the .bmp. - I open my graphical program (Paint Shop Pro 6.0) and convert the pic to grey scale. - Then i soften the pic and add noice to it. - After that i adjust brightness/contrast (add 25 % brightness and lower contrast with about 40 %) - Then i increase the colors again and add some yellowish color on the picture to try a more oldish effect ( this is the hard part, i am not quit satisfied with the effect ) - I resize the pic and then use a photo edge of a real photo to paste the pic and merge it. Thats about it. Monty [ August 10, 2003, 07:44 AM: Message edited by: Monty ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Monty I've got one that I tried quickly using the digital camera technique. Don't have anywhere on the internet to post it though, mind if I e-mail it to you to take a look? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to post that...if you do the photo's, don't include infantry or tank commanders, throws "realistic looking" out the window... Sorry, but it's true. It's harder to draw people vs tanks, isn't it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
