Grey Wolves Wall Paper ??

Goat · 10-14-06, 06:21 PM

I decided I want to use that moon-lit picture of the Boat emerging from the sea... for a wallpaper. I tried 'screen-shots', using Print Screen and Paint... Uh-Uh. Nothing pastes. I guess that scene is not far enough INTO the game for Control + F11 to catch it. Finally I cranked up the ISO to 'grainy but works' on my camera and took a picture of the thing.... Not bad; far from good.

Anybody know how to do this ???

The pic you want is called Intro and its in
C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Menu\Loading

Here you go... Plus a bonus one. Good old Marhkimov made these many moons ago.

The second one is my personal one at the moment.

Uhhh... Thanks. I'll explore that Site. But for the immediate gratification... I have it done. Took that .targa file... photoshopped the size down, blacked out the print at the bottom... Looks nice on my scope !!!

This post caused me to make the first official GWX wallpaper for all to use...

Dang, that pic is beauty, Boris!

Here´s one 'unofficial' wallpaper I made few weeks ago.

@ Boris

Damn, how high does that smoke go? New GWX feature or clever editing:hmm:

Or wait to find out:rotfl:

Not a game feature I'm afraid

Maybe it's been said before somewhere, but shouldn't the anchor be on the other side of the boat's nose on the original GW loading screen?

OTOH I appreciate artistic freedom, so no problem.

Cheers

Wonderful work Boris. I myself am a complete moron regarding anything related to photoediting and stuff, so I deeply admire any work. But this is awsome. This GW image allways fascinated me, even though I really do not think that a type VII could surface at such an angle. But it doesn;t matter anyway, it looks fantastic. PLease, post more works here mates if you have them.

Boris · 10-16-06, 08:59 AM

I can't take credit for the original GW loading screen... the honour belongs to Markhimov. I just added the convoy, got rid of the black edges, increased the resolution etc.

ustahl, I think you're right about the anchor, the image must have been mirrored.

You can actually surface you're uboat at such an angle... just keep blowing your tanks from a fair depth on full speed!

Boris, I agree re having been mirrored, but digging even deeper into detail, it's only the boat that's been mirrored, the moon is correct.

So, in order to make it really correct, you could either retouch and discard the anchor or, if you want to retain the anchor, mirror the image and then cut and mirror the moon and text back to their present shape.

But pls don't me take too serious, mate. Your screen looks great, and I don't think people should give a damn for those details I pointed out.

Boris · 10-16-06, 02:44 PM

Jeez, let it go

Nah, I really can't be bothered caring about a wallpaper right now, my time is better spent working on GWX anyway.

AVGWarhawk · 10-16-06, 03:04 PM

Yeah, let the man do his work

. Take in game screenshots and photo shop it

. Thats with I do.
