Halo Photography

Is that depth of field from the game/engine, or did you make it in Photoshop? Either way, it looks awful.

Photoshop. Yea, I'm still experimenting with depth and stuff...so far it's not good.

It's ok. Something to keep in mind is that the blur varies with distance...try doing some renders in 3ds Max with depth of field to see what I mean.

My containment skin has given me some high res shots:

Everything resizes my images <_<.

Adding Depth of field (DOF) really adds depth to a halo 2 capture (forgive the pun) I messed around with this ages ago when i was first testing out Xbox7887's trainer (Project Yelo).

it looks good, just that the elite pops out too much, as if u took the pic of the map and pasted the elite in it.

When I take screens with DOF enabled the single shots come out glitchy. Like blocks and lines going through the top of the shot.

that effect seems to do an anti-aliasing effect

i will give it a try

It's just blurring. I've been doing it to my images for ages, to remove Aliasing... and to add depth.

That DOF effect was done in photoshop, sorry if i confused anybody. The DOF function contained in Halo2 isn't very advanced, it seems asif there is a single plane that controls the focal point.. which sucks.

I was talking about photoshop too, I didn't even know there was an option for it in Halo 2.

Not an option. Its something done in a few cutscenes. You just Copy pasta the script from said cutscene into MP.

Yes in the cuscene it's for that i was wondering how on cinematic there's so much Anti-aliasing, so it's that Dof effect, but yes, if it's just a plane it's not really useful for a video.

I think that everyone who has not beaten campaign on halo 2 should go ahead and do it. You find so many machs and blocs that you want to use, plus you find awesome bsp's and many other things. Also, I will tell someone on xbl that Im making a mod with a gondola in it and they're like, wtf? And thats because they havent beaten campaign. So please, everyone beat campaign at least once.

I don't know why someone would buy Halo 2 and just go straight to its absolutely captivating multiplayer.

Dojorkan · Post by **Dojorkan** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 7:29 pm

I dont see how after this game being out for a little over two years, people not be the LEAST interested in the story (What the game is ABOUT and why it is even called "Halo" or even how the levels look like.

Its like buying a foot long sub and only eating 6 inches of it. =/
