Some more proof that ingame effects > spending too much time in Photoshop.
Every piece of dirt, dust, etc. has been achieved entirely ingame. Particles, smoke, etc. have all been employed to make sure this looks like a disaster. The only thing really added was contrast, vignetting, some lighting changes and the blatant background lighting.
Also proof that color can make a picture better. No more shitty brown overlays for you, folks!

While all the ingame effects and posing is nice and all that, the left soldiers posing is odd to me, especially his torso considering he's dragging someone.
Plus it kinda looks like that they're carrying the near dead/dead person into battle which you'd think they'd drag him away from it instead.
Besides that all the ingame stuff is nice as usual.
-
The posing is appropriate. What are you talking about? I would use some excuse like "it's the angle" but it looks OK to me. If anything, the right guy looks too lax to be dragging someone.
-
The right dude's rifle is being held oddly (unless it's being held on by a sling or some kind of clip, in which case it makes perfect sense - it looks like there's a strap there but it seems to attach to the plate carrier, not the rifle). Carrying a bullpup rifle by its front grip only, particularly at that angle, is not fun.
Other than that, posing looks fine, background isn't too overwhelming, and that sentry in the background (looks to be some kind of Combine turret/M2 HB lovechild?) is nifty as fuck.

I want these models
they look so nice...
I like how you used in-game effects instead of using photoshop. And hey, no brown!
The posing is OK, except the soldier on the left. He doesn't seem to be moving.
-
lol that thing looks like it would knock itself over after firing one shot. A great picture I must say and I love those Blacklight: Tango Down soldiers. I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more of them soon, lol
-
That's actually pretty good. I like the posing on the soldiers. But theres a big black looming thing in the background and I keep looking at it like, "what the fuck?" I mean if its some kinda grenade or..anomoly or something then fine, but I want to know why theres a big fat black smudge behind the dudes dragging the pretty much dead dude.
-
Could it be... smoke?
-
It doesn't exactly look like smoke to me.
-
The effects and posing are nice. My only grippe is that the battle is still going on. I think they would be hunched over trying to crouch run to cover.
-
What the hell is with the gun posing on the right?
He is holding the gun wrong.
-
I have to agree with minilandstan, the gun posing on the guy on the right is really wrong. I understand if he was holding it like that while just standing because the weapon would go into his chest, but since he's carrying an injured person, there's no way he could do it.
-
i'm pretty sure the gun is attached to a strap, guys.
great job, man. amazing use of in-game effects as usual, it's astounding how pretty the source engine can look if you give it a little work. i salute you, sir.
-
Even then that wouldn't make much since. Unless he readjusted the sling to be REALLY tight around his body.
-
I was going to put this in photoshop and tear it apart. But since there isn't alot to tear apart since you didn't bother an edit,
Well first of all. Random Crappy Ingame noise on the right of the screen both holding the guns awkward.
They're hurrying away from battle and a soldier is just sitting there looking through his binoculars or just shielding the sun. lol
Turrent is shooting in the direction they are going. They are really going suicide it looks like.
You also added an ugly water mark in photoshop.
Guy on left looks extremely uncomfortable.
Not that bad of a pose, but not as great as you make it seem.
-
link to download model? *0*
amazing image :G
-
Guy on the left is not holding the rifle awkwardly at all. If I'm going to hold my Steyr in one hand while I do something with the other, that's exactly how I do it.
-
Rimlighting on the inside of their crotches strikes me as weird looking, not that anything can be done about it in-game. My only other real criticism is the turret(?) thing behind the guy on the left. It seems oddly placed.
-
The posing looks wonky in places and the strong sharpening and aliasing isn't exactly pretty.
-
yeah i'm in the process of reskinning all of these guys right now to remove crappy rimlighting and instead replace it with real man's phong as well as adding more detail on them in general. it doesn't make sense to me why the textures are 2048x2048+ and yet there's hardly any detail on them at all.
the turret has a lot more behind it; ammo crates, and old m60 belt model and even another soldier all together, but it's all blocked out. design flaw, i guess. i had to move the turret three or four times before it looked presentable and i had forgotten about moving the background character because i was more enthralled in throwing down particle effects.
-
Posing aint the best but everything else is great, also why does it say Angry baker on the top left corner?
-
-
It's an illusion.
Just kidding -- I stole it from some loser from Deviantart.
-
Or the infamous Angry Baker from team infoslash who "trolled" FP because noobs didn't know how to handle criticism.
-
Telling people how to improve is not trolling. Sorry if you think otherwise because you don't know what the definition of troll is.
-
Notice how trolling is in quotations?
Right. The CC you gave was good.
-
Evidently you must think throwing quotations around words means that you're throwing in a synonym for something else, or leading to inconsistent thought patterns that go only through your head.
I'm going to assume by "good" you mean you're being sarcastic because you're not smart enough to create a clue for people to notice. Also observe how I used quotations: the way they were meant to be used.
What you posted is irrelevant. Either fix your post or stop trolling.
-
Meh I'll do it later.
-
the models have too much phong but thats not your fault, the right soldiers left hand holding the gun looks broken. In-game editing looks good but kinda messy and last, the noise looks bad but overall the pic looks pretty good
-
Were are these models :q:
-
The left's leg is up too high. Unless he's as giddy as a school-girl.
-
This generally doesn't look as good as your other pictures.
