Nevz's Panoramas

[H3C x Nevz]

This is in screenshot discussion because they were made from screenshots, but with the use of Photoshop.

Panoramas are one of my favorite things to do in Halo 3. They are a series of hi-res images merged into one long one. Below is my complete library. They are sorted from oldest to newest.

[wiggums]

I made a panorama of every map, thought yours are much more on the artistic side.

[H3C x Nevz]

Yeah, they're fun to take, because they can really give you a lot more area to work with, and you can capture more than you could with a regular screenshot. My favorites are definitely the missile pod one on Construct and then the Conquest one (3 down from the bottom).

[wiggums]

Yes the missile pod one is great, But I especially like those that are on rat's nest.

[H3C x Nevz]

Thanks. In some of them you can really see the seams where I attached them, but I do my best for only having Photoshop Elements 4 (Which is like from 4 years ago) :P. Vertical panoramas added.

[wiggums]

Oh, so you didn't just use the automatic way to put them together? was that not a feature of the old photoshop?

[H3C x Nevz]

Oh, they automatically assembled to some extent, but you had to adjust them manually and it was not very precise or advanced.

[GodlyPerfection]

I like these quite a bit... I'm impressed... YAY!!! CONQUEST!!! lol... ;)

[H3C x Nevz]

Lol I thought you'd like that. :D They're definitely more impressive in full-screen.

[OMNOMNOMINATOR]

Those are awesome. Have you done any that are a full 360 degrees? Something like a FFA KoTH match?

[H3C x Nevz]

I've been thinking about that, and, at least with my current version of PS, it's really not possible, sadly... the perspective gets distorted long before that.

[MNM1245]

Wow these are great! My fav is the vertical Warthog one. And just wondering did you use Photoshop or GIMP or something on these after you Panaramified them?

lol Panaramified is a great word.

[H3C x Nevz]

I'll usually modify the contrast/saturation after doing the panorama, but that's all.

[MNM1245]

OK cool just wondering and what Panorama Program do you use because I am thinking of trying to make some of these after seeing yours!

[H3C x Nevz]

Glad to hear it. :D Like I said in the OP, I just have an old version of Photoshop Elements. I'm not sure if Gimp has a panorama feature or not, but all Photoshop versions do.

[mista tipsta]

More Conquest panorama please? Oh and a completely circular king of the hill photo would look ill.

[MNM1245]

Would look ill? Is that a typo or are you supposed to be saying sick cause it just sounds wierd...Anywho now that he said it a completely circular Panorama would be awesome! I know you could to that with Microsoft Photosynth though

[Soren515]

These are pretty amazing. i love the missle pod and hand stand one.

[H3C x Nevz]

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

ADDED:
- 2 horizontal panoramas
- Titles to horizontal panoramas

[H3C x Nevz]

ADDED:
- 1 horizontal panorama Blockade Revamped
- 3 newest panoramas moved to top

[Mace]

WOW, these are hecka good. how long does it take you average to stich em together?

[H3C x Nevz]

Not long at all. If you find some good screens, ten minutes max.

[American10]

Damn these are so good. You are a professional panoramist.

[DeathDriver86]

Truly impressive. These could easily become great banners or signatures for the Sig shoppe if you so desired them to be.

[MNM1245]

Hey Nev would you nkow if Photoshop CS4 has a Panorama tool or something like it? Cause I don't know if it does or not....

[H3C x Nevz]

Yes it does, MNM. Go to File > Automate > Photomerge. ;) I've got more, I'll update this thread.

[MNM1245]

Sweet thanks. Hopefully I can do this tonight and get some panoramas up for you all. And I hope mine look good like Nevz

[H3C x Nevz]

Alright, cool. The very top one right now is my personal favorite, that's a scarab explosion in the background. I kind of stole the idea from Tesai's "Safe Within" screenshot that's been on faves in the past, but only the fact that MC's in a bubble shield during a scarab explosion.

By the way MNM, be careful. If your panorama thread starts to have more success than mine, I may have to... unteach you. Yup, I can do that.

[MNM1245]

*Gulp* Ya I know. My friend told me you know Black Magic and turned some dude into an eraser and sent him to Australia so he could be called a rubber all his life.

[H3C x Nevz]

Ah, and don't even get me started on the poor fellow I sent to England. I won't go there. Once I'm back on vacation, I have to make a collab map which will be the subject of my group's Spotlight on Bungie and then I'll start to spit these things out again.

[Boston]

Yeah these are real good. If its not too much to ask, could you make me a Red Sox one? Lol

[Fenian Bhoy]

to me this looks like a normal pic but a REALLY SMART one i like these and how did you stitch them together?

[H3C x Nevz]

Redsox: sure. Go to a Red Sox game, ask EVERYONE in the stadium to hold still, take out your tripod and get a bunch of horizontal shots without anyone moving. ;)

[H3C x Nevz]

Added:
- Carnage (Horizontal)
- I Have a Plan (Horizontal)

[MNM1245]

I really like Carnage! It is nice and big! I stopped making these but now I just want to make more! Haha but seriously yours turn out better than mine :(

[H3C x Nevz]

Heh, thanks. I guess it's just about having an eye for what could come out to be a good panorama. Starter making a few real life ones with the tripod, and I'll add a few more to this thread shortly.
