[CWorth]

Cool presentation and really takes me back to the days of reading Ghost Rider series.


Don't know how you did it, but very nice one, Kpt Klemens!


Its actually really easy to do.I personally use Adobe Photoshop which I am guessing so does he.Its a filter called "Poster Edges" in the Filters/Artistic section of Photoshop.Really makes a nice comic book look to any picture.

[Polak]

ME LIKE!

Great eyecandy :up:

[welshterrier]

Haha thats great! Blistering Barnacles Tintin!

[Syxx_Killer]

The Gimp also has a feature like that.

[Mike 'Red Ocktober' Hense]

you may have created a new genre... i mean, there's machinima... now you created comicnica... the melding of computer generated models and games with old style comics...

great stuff!!!

i could see a whole site of this kinda art...

Very nice work on that one Kalach, hope to see some more!!! :up:

[kiwi_2005]

hey when SH3 came out one of the first things i did was something simular to this. Theres so much you can do with this game for entertainment. I never gave mine that comic look though like you have, which i think is a good idea. my comic was around 90 pages of captured screens I then added in my storyline with the captions etc., and then renderd it into a comic strip movie using Camtasia Studio and sent it off to PCPOWERPLAY gaming magazine. My movie strip was to large to be on there cd space at the time, so its used for family viewing especially around a few beers.

My story was a one off, at the end they in U 575 all died.... but they died with honor :rock:

[Kalach]

Thanks everyone :) I'll see what I can do for U-101's second patrol.

I had a big shock when I saw this featured on the SubSim main page :o :D

[DedEye]

very cool. Thanks for sharing with us :up:

[Kalach]

Patrol 2 is coming along very well indeed - I would go so far as to say this one looks terrible next to it ;)

Improvements include; spelling, storyline, art, characters, a more user friendly yellow for narration boxes, and more!


Here's a small sample:

Excellent work!

Also Paint Shop Pro 9 can do what u mentioned.

Here is a shot I took of a C Class lighting up. I used The Gimp's cartoon feature.

I tried something like this a while back, but all I got is the paint program that came with XP and I wasn't satisfied with what I got.

This, this is awesome....great job, Katach![/img]

[ReM]

I'm impressed!

Nice cartoon style pics! Nice concept as well

[iambecomelife]

It looks nice from what I can see, but would someone mind zipping it or something? More than half the panels don't load, even when I hit "refresh".

The Gimp is a freeware, open source program. You should give it a try.

Hmm, well I was thinking of making it into a screensaver if that will do?


Patrol 2 is done. I'm just building suspense ;) and checking over it. It's a little longer, and I think it's been a great improvement.

[iambecomelife]

That would be fine, as long as the file's not too big (over 30-40MB). How big would a screensaver file be?

[Kalach]

I decided it would just be easier to put it at rapidshare.de
Look here v
http://rapidshare.de/files/5075533/U-101_1.7z.html

Its 4.1megs and you will need 7zip, I can't remember their site, but it should be easy to find.


<edit> looking over your sig I will asume you have 7z and know how to use rapidshare ;)

[terrapin]

a pdf conversion is also ready for download at my site.

[jason210]

Yep. Very neat.
