[QUOTE='Ninja Nub[NOR];36081467']it's too red[/QUOTE] It fit's because your picture is too blue too. :v:
Your red takes away depth and contrast. Both are crucial elements for a good image.
[QUOTE='Ninja Nub[NOR];36081752']Your red takes away depth and contrast. Both are crucial elements for a good image.[/QUOTE] Not too bad imo. I would go and add bloom and potatochop lightning but i do my stuff ingame.
[QUOTE=GrimEviUK;36080262]Not really put much effort into them. [/QUOTE] Damn, we need to create a "No effort Screenshot Section" When you're doing something at least try to make it as good as it's possible :/
[QUOTE=Justinx931;36081871]Not too bad imo. I would go and add bloom and potatochop lightning but i do my stuff ingame.[/QUOTE] It just looked like you put a random red overlay and did -50 contrast. Doesn't look good. The background however looks nice. At any rate you should try to go for directional lighting and darkened backgrounds to bring your main point of interest into focus.

ye
Okay, sorry but ingame editing isn't it. This isn't like a movie or a photo where you want to get the footage or shots as good as possible beforehand. Yes, you should still do that, but editing in photoshop unlocks a whole new realm of possibilities that just aren't possible ingame. Yes, ingame can look perfectly fine but there are some things you just can't do. Half of my screenshots would be nowhere near possible ingame. Don't brag about editing in-game like it makes you better than someone who uses Photoshop either, I think it's elitist and unnecessary. They aren't that different anyway. Also Taggart your poses are becoming sexier by the hour, please continue.

Sorry, it should be "have to get" not "want to get" What I'm trying to say sort of is that besides light placement and posing, anything in game you can do better in Photoshop. Color mod doesn't hold a candle to curves adjustment, and like I said it seems like a lot of people think it's so great that they make screens "only ingame" when they could make their screenshots even better if they did edit them. While ingame work is all well and good, it's nothing to brag about and it certainly isn't better than using Photoshop.

Some generic stuff I did while Facepunch was down. Sorry for the crappy aliasing.

[QUOTE=Whyt546;36084048]How did you recolor the hat/misc items?[/QUOTE]By editing the $colortint_base RGB values in the VMT files or by using [URL="http://www.garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=129635"]my VMT edits[/URL] which make most TF2 items white (though several hats have an issue with being paintable that i don't think i can actually fix) I was gonna update it with the newer stuff, but i'm deciding against this idea since it ruins some hats that use cubemaps, transparency or glow in the dark

[QUOTE=haloguy234;36087496]I like the lighting in these.

I like the subtle application of DoF on the grass blades in the foreground but the sunrays are way too overwhelming. Maybe if it were in a different camera angle or pose, the sunrays would be permissible. Posing looks pretty good, though.
