The Unofficial "Official" SH3 screenshot thread! [Archive]

I haven`t seen a thread like this here (maybe I`m just blind) so I decided to give it a go.

So... post your best screenshot you`ve taken during SHIII.

Instructions to take and post a Screenshot
1. Take screenshot by pressing CTRL+F11
2. Change the Screenshot to .jpg and resolution to 640x480
3. Go to www.imageshack.us and host the image there
4. Copy the "Direct link to image" url
5. When you want to post it here, make it look like this:
"UrlOfTheImageYouCopied" whitout those " "

Okay, lets get it running then! My two best shots:

While tryin to go through Gibraltar:

:D , a new paintjob sure wouldn't have cut it.

It really was a frustrating experience, more than 2 hours realtime i played cat and mouse (guess who was the latter :D ) with a hunter killer group that nailed me on my way back to St. Nazaire. Sea being calm, destroyers probably elite, i couldn't sneak away. My only hope was to continue trying to evade their attacks... that is until a DC made short work of the electric engines. Instead of playing sitting duck underwater, i blew ballast tanks to surface for some artillery exchange while trying to position one destroyer between me and the other vessels :arrgh!:...pointless i know, but it sure was a spectacle.
That was my fourth campaign, i never managed to get this far (Nov 1943) w/o getting sunk. :damn:

What format are they? Save them as .jpg in some paint program.
It`ll make the smaller.

OK this what I do (still need a smoke)
1. Open the picture up on my computer, checking to see how many Kilobytes...Looking after 56k users.

Hang on you 56k user ain't you gdogg, with all virus scans running etc? Also I am thinking Imageshack is sick after the pictures I am reading above. Out of all of them I only I only see one

Damo1977

08-27-05, 09:16 AM

but don't worry continue on process.
Considering its like 56 or less KB. This is what i do...... even on my sig.
Go to my e-mail address, click on the rego tag.
Upload new image (its in the bottom in blue writing just below the box, do not I stress do not click on click on the "post new image')
iF YOU HAVE SUBSIM STILL OPEN with image shack just copy and drag the image code for "FORUMS"

:lol:

First time someone thought I was a photographer :88)

Nope, not at all. I'm not pretty bad at it, actually. I'd like to think I have some artistic inclinations though, but I can't know that for sure.

They're taken with the "Low" version of my recent camera mod though -maybe that's the 'secret' :hmm:

That, or the fact that the motivation for that patrol was to try to slightly amuse a fine lady who was highly annoyed by someone living in New Jersey - whereupon I proceeded to spend my whole evening (and well into the morning) sailing through the Fierce Atlantick just to sneak into New York harbor and shell a random building on the NJ side in her honour :rotfl:

Heres a few, these are a bit different from the ones here because at the time (when i first started playing) i was using the bloom effect almost exclusively. It is handy for hiding the imperfections and flaws in the shots because i dont have a top of the line card. This was also before i discovered the Camera Mod. Anyway, the pics!

This first one is from one of my better runs through Scapa:
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/7449/illustrioussunk6jh.jpg

This next one i would rate as my favorite shot ever. This is one of the spots where bloom really helps:
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/2302/morningwithviib5hr.jpg

This next one is from a series of shots i took during a custom mission i set up of a night battle between battleships. The Revenge is really tough, ive seen it fire a slavo where the barrels were only about 5 feet off the water.
http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/952/revenge51ud.jpg

The next two are pretty self explanatory:

Here are a few more shots I took a while back. I was in my little IID position in AN84. I thought I could sneak away on the surface after spotting a C Class DD. I have it modded so it has DC racks (not the tame little animal as before). Anywho, he spotted me. I dove to periscope depth. He was rushing at me quite fast. Eventually he slowed to 11 knots. Since it was shallow, I thought I would try and get a fish off. Set it for magnetic pistol. I hit in the aft area. The DD lit up like a fire cracker! I have seen many an explosion in SH3, but never like this. I let my WO look through the scope, since he produced the life saving firing solution. Being the artistic chap he is, he created some images from the best of his recollection. Enjoy. :lol:

The first is a painting. We were on the surface so the fumes would affect the rest of the crew. :doh: :rotfl:

Here is an "oldie" of the Bismarck firing. I didn't take the screenshot, so I can't take credit for that. I did the Photoshop work on the picture to age it, basing my work on photofinishing techniques common to WWII Europe. This picture was intended as a tutorial on photofinishing for Photoshop. I wish that I had taken the time to make a better paper texture, though, as the Reich (at least the Wehrmacht) used a photography paper that I can't find any more.

In any case, I am considering making a much more work-intensive screenshot, hopefully I will post it in the future. It seems these days that I have more time on my hands than initiative, anyway.

Hello Dowly, how can I change a screenshot into ipg and lower resolution? I tried just about everything but it's still going back to BMP image at 1076 x 768 resolution, to big for imageshack. Greetings!
http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/8897/uindexpagesehrohr9ka.jpg

I use program called 'Infranview'
1. Download the program from http://www.irfanview.com/ (and install it ofcourse! :D )
2. Load up your image to infranview (File->Open)
3. When your image is loaded go to Image->Resize/Resample, a new window will pop up. On the right side, you can change the resolution. Just pick one of them.
4. Go to File->Save As and pick JPG from the drop-down thing.

That`s it!

Hope you understand, english isn`t my native language. :)

no, i just meant that the lighting was something i added artistically. I also hope that SH4 (more like SH7) will look like this... OH, and yes, I really like the type 7 jumping out of the water too! I made it my desktop!

By the way, if I could just get my sub to travel faster underwater, I could make a much more dramatic shot. I want to jump at least half of the sub out of the water. Right now, I believe I can only do a 10 degree surface... I need it to be more like 30 or 40... how do I go about doing that?

He probably started off pretty deep so as not to suface to quickly, then started going flank. Then he probably waited until he reached top underwater speed and blew ballast as many times as he could.

My only few (constructive) criticisms come from the water spray. The spray coming from below the conning tower is a little disjointed from the water. It's like its coming from the air. The spray at the bow looks much better.

Okay, here we go. This is my best screenshot. It's been editted a bit with Photoshop. Actually, about 15 1/2 hours of Photoshop, by my stopwatch.

Every element in this picture comes from SHIII screenshots, with the exception of the Kaleun, which I had to pose for, there being very few photogenic U-Boat commanders in my neighborhood, if any. As a side note, I felt very, very uncomfortable putting Nazi insignia in the image -- I only represent myself in the photo in this way because I needed a captain figure, and in no way should this be construed that I am affiliated with that particular political entity.

i found that low FOV cam makes the scenery look less spectacular, only the boat/ship looks cool. But you lose those cool reflections, and skies. I'm talking about FOV10, I'm sure FOV30=60 isn't that serious.

Yes it is, no modifications at all. Notice that the action was in shallow waters (46 meters). That's the reason you see a clear image.

VonCapo - you don't get the point. I think that you have a whole story to tell, if you seen, like others did - they write like a patrol report. In a screenshot thread it will get lost I think. It wasn't criticism. A bit childish to say 'i won't do it anymore' - who am i to even tell you what you must or must not do! It was just a suggestion so that more people could see it. :up:

Type941, I got the point perfectly. I agree with you totally, it looks like a patrol description. So, when I said "I won't do it anymore" I was just manifesting a plain intention. Please notice, English is not my first language, so it's a necessity a dictionary beside me.
But I don't agree at all to the adjetive "childish". It is unnecessary.

@ Twelvefield: Wow! :o

Your edited screenshot is a piece of art man, respect!
Lovely details, the oranges, the bacon and stuff, and also good "acting" by you, the expression on your face fits in the scene very well! :up:

(...although bad guys might think you just sh*t your pants by the way you are looking around... ; - ) <-- please don't feel offended, just a joke! ;)

No offense taken, I agree with you, my acting skills are awful. It took some doing to get the photograph lighting to approximate the lighting in the sub, so the only pose of mine that I took that had the light right on the hat -- (no matter how hard I try, I just can't "hit my mark" as an actor) -- also made me look constipated. On the other hand, at least I have an expression at all. The in-game characters are not wonderful actors, either, as their poses can be really stiff and unbalanced. I ended up re-working the kaleun to look more like a rendered computer character, and re-working the computer characters (their hair, clothing, and facial expressions) to look a bit less like clones.

One of my original intentions was to have some water pouring into the shot, and I was to be looking at that, but after I did the main composition of the picture, I realized that it would be difficult to get all of the other actors looking at the proper focus point.

I did include a lot of other little details that not only fill out the image, but they were also time consuming. If you just glance at the picture, you miss a lot of the subtle stuff.

You know, it might not be a bad idea for me to post a tutorial on how "Crush Depth" was put together. I have saved my progess on this image religiously, so I can show anybody who is interested all of the steps. I would be happy to do this in another thread, and when Admiral Mrs. Twelvefield isn't keeping me busy.

Just kidding, that plane just hits the water.

I don't know what happened, as you can see the plane was pretty close my sub, so I guess the flak gunner hit the fuel tanks or the bomb. The plane lost a wing and that spray of water is caused by it, I checked. At least I got credited, my new career has a good start. :D

By the way, anyone knows how to remove the saw border in the images?
When I tried to smooth the borders with the antialiasing feature, the image got out of focus :nope:
This is not acceptable. It looks homely. :nope:

For edges that are jagged (cables, wires, corners and such), I go back in and do some manual smudging and cloning. Of course, it would be nice if there were some sort of useful anti-aliasing option, but there really isn't one.

What we do here is screenshot ART... that means if you want to make your shots all fanciful, don't be afraid to do a little dirty work. Don't always rely on those magical auto-features. Real life artist usually don't have the benefit of a computer anyways.

Ok, more specifically... if wires are jagged or pixelated, I draw my own lines and vectors on top of them (on a seperate layer). Then I simply delete the old lines (using the clone tool), and voila. Fade and blur your lines when necessary.

Edges are even easier... just smudge and clone...

*And if anyone wants to compare, here ya go:

Two mods that I use always are not listed:

b) Tex - Rain gear with gloves - by Gian :yep:
I removed Pascal's explosions & smoke because it did not convince me. :shifty: So, I use the AIL's mods.
All these mods do not conflict each other. :know: :yep:

My pics are not retouched. I don't know how to use Photoshop yet. The only graphic software that I use is Paint, Irfanview and Autocad; because I know how to employ them.
The lower image is result of a video driver's glitch.

Not a very good one, but what a tin can looks like at 1,000 feet after eating a torpedo:

Came across a small merchant in heavy seas, usually i dont engage but i wanted to use up my torps so i went after it. I set the torp to 3 meters depth at fast speed setting, waited till 0 gyroangle then fired just forward of the bridge. Look:

The broken off part whipped off the ship like somebody released a huge spring. The plume from the explosion barely reached the bridge and it looked like it does in the shot. Weirdest thing ive ever seen.

We sank to 220 meters before flooding was under control and after blowing ballast four times, our boat was finally starting to raise.

... and after blowing ballast four times, our boat was finally starting to raise.

Holy crap! I can almost see the sweat trickling down your crewman's face as he looks at the dive guage. :doh: :up:

But hey ... I didn't know you could blow the ballast more than once! I thought if you blew it, it was, you know ... blown.

Did doing it more than once really help, you think?

If you blow ballast more than once, the boat will surface more quickly. I don´t know if it really helps in situation like this.

I was so panicked when the depth gauge was on 220 that I banged my keyboard to find the 'E' button and almost yelled to the boat to rise!

We almost surfaced in the middle of the destroyers (there where 2 of them), because the boat was rising so fast.

Woa! VON_CAPO, where did you get your P-38 and B-24 skins from. They look nothing like stock, hence they are awesome! Maybe you could point me in their direction? Or maybe post them yourself on www.RapidShare.com

It would be greatly appreciated.
