Share Your Screenshots, Tips, and Tricks

> I have a map that I was wondering if any of you could use to take screen shots with. The first One is called Wind. I am having camera angle problems with this map because it is in an out of map area with bounders that make it hard to take screen shots with. Its the background that I would like to squeeze in it because it is a nice desert wind background.

Has anyone tried taking screen shots with these maps yet if so I would love to see them.

I’ll give it a whirl tonight and see what I can create. :slight_smile: Stay tuned!

Good evening everybody. Sorry I haven’t been around lately, as I have been rather busy. I wanted to start off by saying congratulations to all people who had their photos featured in both Monitor and Landfall theme contests. There were a lot of interesting ones that were featured, so great work to everybody who won.

In particular Receptor17, I did find humor in your ā€˜Access Denied’ photo. Very well thought out in terms of creativity as well a pun. PvL Static, I think you happen to have some great first time shots :slight_smile: . Keep experimenting with the FX and I am certain you can find some really nice effects. Juicy is a nice FX on some levels, especially Landfall. Just don’t use any Orange colors on your spartan, unless you don’t mind the color changing to pink with this FX.

MechaSh0ckwave, you have some really neat Halo: Reach Photos. Keep up the great work with those FX. I really like the Bronze colored Elite Ultra. I also took a look at your photos from Halo: Reach as well Deluca, keep up the awesome work. You manage to get a lot of awesome pictures with that Haunted Helmet and a fire helmet FX. Cerilium, I am really liking the Green Themed photo you created. Very nice combination of green elements :slight_smile: . Xerosus, great work on Fireteam Majestic’s Tedra Grant. I can’t wait to see you create the others to the best of your ability when the Champion’s DLC comes out August 20.

From what I understand, I did happen to have a photo featured in the Landfall Contest. It was the one with my spartan and two of my friends’ spartans in the Orange Spade. The reason why nobody’s tags appear is that this was done via system link because X-Box LIVE was temporarily down that day. Considering I have their permission, I want to thank Cartwright5, PrepaidMountain, Joelcoop87, and Killemall9642 for assisting me with that photo, as to do that photo, I had to glitch on Forge Mode, and that glitch takes the teamwork of four people to do. I honestly could not have done that photo without them.

I do happen to have a couple of Halo: Reach themed photos to share myself from recent firefight game on Courtyard. Enjoy :slight_smile: :

Nothing on Tele

Nothing on Tele is a reference to Photonicinduction on Youtube. This individual from the UK has fun with all sorts of destructive experiments from hitting TVs with sledgehammers to zapping objects with massive amounts of electricity. He does them all ā€˜in the name of science’, but really does them for fun. Considering he took a request for an experiment from me a while ago, I figure I could reference him with this photo. I was surprised though to see the neat honeycomb design appear on the wall when I hammered the monitor.

Take a Look at This

This photo happened at the end of the firefight match. I gravity hammered a Skirmisher, and he ended up getting stuck this way, hanging from the pipes. I was hoping my teammate would have noticed, but he didn’t.

Like a Boss

The Pink Mist

Both of these photos were taken with my teammate, as we had fun using a needler together as it was one of the daily challenges to get 200 supercombines in Firefight Matchmaking. My teammate was a good teammate and we had a lot of fun because of it. Now to wait for the champions pack, as I have some ideas with some of that new armor.

Very nice visual effects relating to green Harzilla. Did you happen to use Overshield for the last photo?

No I did not. All I used was the explosion effect from a fuel rod cannon mixed with the a green light in the dark room map I made.

> No I did not. All I used was the explosion effect from a fuel rod cannon mixed with the a green light in the dark room map I made.

Very interesting effect then. I thought you would have just picked up a nearby overshield the second before it kicked into effect. Kind of reminds me of Night Vision being used in a lighted area. Well done and nice find. Thank you for sharing how to do this as well.

these are a few screenshots i took a few days ago

agree with Deluca on this one!
Sorry I’ve not been on guys as I’ve been out since Friday… talk about disappearing for nearly a week, eh?

Anywho that shot is awesome especially with those colours.

Anyone looking forward to the screenshot spotlight? (is tomorrow/later right?)

Hey, Deluca. I’ve got a few pics.

Can’t Get Any Greener

Magic…More Like Promethean Technology

I’ll have more on the way.

Not to go overboard, but I’m truly impressed with most of your screenshots. May i ask, how do you add such incredible effects to it?
