Hey everyone this is my first attempt editing a pose I made, hope you like it! [img]http://i585.photobucket.com/albums/ss293/EVIL_WEVIL/ttt_camel_v10000.jpg?t=1279361379[/img] I used Photoshop CS5 Extended, GIMP 2.6 and Paint.net.

Woah nice job
Decent edit. Good muzzle flash. But to nitty pick. Posing could be improved. It's a tad stiff.
It's a good pic, but I always thought of the combine helis as something they made after they took over...
Good first edit. Remember to use jpeg_quality 100, and make sure you fiddle with the contrast.

The posing I hadn't finished, my game crashed before I could finish them up. I'm also sick so I kinda rushed it. Still took me 4 hours to do the edit though lol.

The posing is wonky in places, but I really dig the effects.
Reminds me of Kill Zone 2.
[QUOTE=SlayerFin;23421098]Reminds me of Kill Zone 2.[/QUOTE] I was thinking of Killzone 2 when i made this haha.
There were no Combine Soldiers in 7 Hour War. Combine Soldiers are Humans. The Combine diddn't have any any humans before the war.
[QUOTE=Hybrid 4F;23421336]There were no Combine Soldiers in 7 Hour War.[/QUOTE] These portal storms attracted an alien empire known as the Combine that defeated all of Earth's armed forces in only seven hours. - Taken from Half-Life Wiki. The Combine are an empire, why wouldn't they have soldiers? You lack common sense.
They didn't have human soldiers
[QUOTE=Novangel;23421559]They didn't have human soldiers[/QUOTE] I don't think anyone has made a non human model of them.
Dodgy posing but the editing is bearable. I like the first person view, although the rifle should probably be titled more to the left than the right.
[QUOTE=EVIL WEVIL;23421729]I don't think anyone has made a non human model of them.[/QUOTE] They attacked with synth soldiers and striders, gunships and stuff. The Combine OverWatch soldiers are "modified" humans to serve the combine as foot soldiers to exterminate any threat against them on earth, yet the "modified" human soldiers is one of the combines biggest creation for use in combat, so they even ship them off-world. And the helicopter was created after the seven hour war. Nevertheless, the posing looks a little dogdy as Chesty said, great capture of FPS view, I like the editing. So good job. Hope to see more stuff from you.
Something looks odd about the lighting to me, but other than that, awesome.
for a first edit this is great please keep on posting

I've seen some of your posing and editing and I just have to say it's awesome! Next pose I'll try and make it allot better.

Next time I'll pick a better map. [editline]09:05AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Egevened;23422893]for a first edit this is great please keep on posting[/QUOTE] Thank you. I will.
When will people understand that there was NO combine soldier during the 7 hour war, just Synths and maybe enslaved Xen soldiers. Apart from that the posing and editing is very good, keep it up!

I'm liking the first person weapon positioning and you did pretty good on adjusting the lighting/coloring on the rifle, too. props.
Those combine are pretty bad at planning attacks. "hey guys lets rush them, no one stay back and cover us and provide suppresive fire, lets just WALTZ ON UP" i think the combine would lose this fight here
They always do that :P And I really like the screenie. Very yummy.

[QUOTE=Hybrid 4F;23421336]There were no Combine Soldiers in 7 Hour War. Combine Soldiers are Humans. The Combine diddn't have any any humans before the war.[/QUOTE] Some of the early concept art for HL2 showed ideas for [I]alien[/I] Combine soldiers. Think bipedal humanoid infantry, though the description for the troopers themselves could've been any type of weird mutant. I prefer to think that some type of alien footsoldier was present during the war, though not "human." Like everyone else said, the posing is a tad wonky. The rest is [I]muy excelente[/I].
Imo would have looked better using and entirely different map.
I know it's been posted but, first thing I thought of was Killzone 2.
[QUOTE=Magman77;23437425]Imo would have looked better using and entirely different map.[/QUOTE] I agree, I should have gotten a better map.
Love it.
Also OP, how did you do the light coming off the muzzleflash and on to the gun? Looks pretty sexy.
