I don't thing i've ever seen something like this done before, so props for originality? :buddy:

Try not to give me flak about "how thats not the way a thermal/infrared camera works" or stuff like that, i only went off reference pics and didnt really look into it
Impressive, just incredibly impressive.
Not bad, pretty impressive.
I like it a lot. One of the least generic pictures I've seen in a long while.
I understand that UAVs usually don't have the best resolution ever and you clearly wanted to mark that out but I think the pixelated image is a bit overdone here, it almost looks as shitty jpeg quality.
Apart from that the theme is wonderfully done and the posing/angle/prop placing on the scene is great as well.
I like it. It looks like I think those images look, which without going to find a reference, is perfectly fine.
Looks cool D:
It looks more like an Apache's footage than a UAV's, but that's not important. This is f-ing cool.
Not bad. Could probably do with some TV lines and/or film-grain though, at least a little.
Also... it's not thermal vision. It looks a little bit like thermal because it's white and black, but the image looks like it has no heat sources on it - the car and the people should have big glowing white parts.
Ive seen this done before..... by me :v:
But it was in a comic thats dead now
Very good.

The guy said not to grip about how the thermal doesn't look right.
Yeah and I decided to ignore him.
What's the point of looking at a picture where the whole point of it was to edit in thermal imaging and then not comment on the editing of the thermal imagining? Yeah there is none.
Also, what research needs to be done? It's thermal imaging... it images heat. The hot stuff is white, people are hot... cars are hot... ergo the cars and people should be white. Playing CoD would have been enough research.
All surveillance footage is in black ad white and you don't use infrared in the day. Of course you wouldn't have known that from playing CoD >_>

Um... lol no.
Thermal imaging can be used at any time of day in any weather conditions. That's the whole point of it. Do your research next time, mate.
It's like looking at a human through an x-ray but not seeing any bones, why call it an x-ray.
It can, but it isn't. Look up any daytime surveillance videos and you'll see that. Stop trying so hard, you're going to hurt yourself.

Um... why wouldn't it be? I've never seen UAV or guncam footage that isn't using thermal imaging. The reason for that is quite simple - a glowing target is easy to spot. Even in surveillance it is superior because you can easily make out bodies and their vehicles and equipment, easier than you can with shitty day-time video footage.

(WHOT Apache footage)
Also, I read a book by an Apache pilot and his gunner... they use thermal imaging whenever the cannon is used, which is essentially every sortie, and use the huge optical zoom on the FLIR to spot potential targets. Also, due to the common use of IR strobes and lasers on the modern battlefield, FLIR is essentially for quick and efficient coordination with friendly ground forces.

Looking at the comparison pictures now I see you did try to make the people and cars glow. I wouldn't have noticed though, partly because they are glowing at the wrong parts in places - rather than just making them white, make them glow (edit that in the same way you would edit in glow from a muzzleflash or whatever).
Both of those videos are nighttime >_>
We really should stop derailing the thread.

Oh yeah whoops.

My point about the Apache crew still stands though, I guess I picked a pair of terrible examples.
lol don't argue about the "realism" of the pic. i know that i could've done some things to make it better. I guess i just got kind of lazy at the end when i actually started doing the technical stuff. It was late, i was about to go to bed and i wanted to post the pic.
Yeah I get the same way, lol
looks good.
Realism.
[B]Realism everywhere[/B] nowadays.
I dig the pic anyway.
Get that person.
...ka-boom.
I like it. Very nicely detailed scene. Good work.
