"Be advised, uhh, I think I've spotted an enemy shitstorm in your AO, eh, over!"

[Joazzz]

Whoa, this took a while. Four days, to be precise (Because I didn't make any progress for two days hueheuhuehueuhe)

Sorry, no lens flares this time, because I couldn't figure out how to make them.

Compare to the originá-lo:

Some sloppy isolation on the building to the right, but I think you can live with that.
Now I'm all out of ideas again so don't expect me to make anything for a while.

[Baptii55]

I love it! very good job! <3

[lonefirewarrior]

Awesome. Awesome to the max.

[fury_161]

This is pretty fucking swell.

[OficerHonkHonk]

It's beautiful *sniff*

[666]

First I was like "Meh, pretty cool I guess."

Then I scrolled to the right.

[Swatege]

Holy shit. This is awesome! I love it.

[Antianan]

Nice stitch and scenebuild, but..everything looks so...bloomy and smooth. Sorry.

[LunaBadger]

This is very beautiful. I think I may adopt it as a desktop background.

[Spazi]

It looks really amazing, and the comparison really highlights how incredible job you did at the fog, shadows and depth.

But everything is indeed bloomy and smooth.
This is not exactly a bad thing, but a thing that effects the atmosphere a lot.
It gives the feeling that everything is happy and careless, not unlike many battles in video games.

But if that's not the feeling you were going for, it's naturally not a good thing. In reality explosions are incredibly bright, and even surfaces close by lit by them would appear washed out white.

[Joazzz]

How could I fix the 'smoothness?'

Btw I never go for realism when I make explosions, plus that kind of lighting in a daytime picture would ruin everything.

[Devil Traitor]

It's amazing.

[TheMask]

So the Battlefield³ fever got you too?
I always thought about, how a BF pic would look like made in GMod.
Nice job!

the blurry painted in shadows are really killing this for me

[QUOTE=TheMask;34562753]So the Battlefield³ fever got you too?[/QUOTE]

Yeah and I don't even have the goddamn game.

[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;34562864]the blurry painted in shadows are really killing this for me[/QUOTE]
Get over it like a man.

[kuhbwekduhbweco]

[Moose]

america is number one

russia is crying tears

[Half-Health]

Fucking brilliant Joazzz.

[RAGEPANDDEMOMAN]

This is just... holy bejezuz. That explosion looks GREAT.

Then a jihad jeep [I]out of fucking nowhere.[/I]

[editline]Edit[/editline]

'The Theater, the Dream, the Battlefield' would be a better song tho.

[Santz]

I'm glad people like you and Urbanator are still making Gmod poses. Its nice to come back from time to time and see your awesome stuff.

Great pic dude.

[Rankxerox]

Wow I came here expecting these normal shitty poses that this forum is filled with.

This is really really fucking good.

[Back_Slash]

Joazzz you really have outdone yourself on this one.
But let me offer my critique on this.

-Chesty is right, the shadows are a bit off putting. As well as the the direct white highlights.
-Another thing is that the explosion on the vodnik looks like blood splatter brushes (a bit off putting)
-Also there is some issues on isolating on the sand bags that I noticed after examining the sniper.
-the backpack for the support gunner is so low quality, it really doesn't blend well with the picture.
-One last thing the rubble pile on the left is a bit too 2d some shading could of enhanced a bit a more. In the future just use rubble props for that sort of things

This is what I had to do to make it pretty on my computer.

And even then I can't fit the whole thing. I also had to set it to tile.

[jill920]

Needs motion blur

[Arctic Aveng]

Pretty impresive! :rock:

[Joazzz]

[QUOTE=rikimaru6811;34568646]Needs motion blur[/QUOTE]

Was going to add, but the chance of a total failure was about fifty-fifty and I couldn't risk it. I hate it when I fail at doing an effect and then get stuck in that part only because I try it over and over again.

[Conely]

Oh these soldiers are so fucked. The Shitstorms are part of Russia's elite [I]Fuckitallzki[/I] unit.

No seriously this is very very pretty.

[Deremix]

...Holy shit.

Incredible job. Now excuse me while I try to pull my jaw off of the floor.
