I used to easily make these crazy skies and sunsets by messing with the aperture and the time of day etc..But now i just cannot do it. I spent 20 mins trying to make the sky red today... Like these old pics i did- I want to recreate the style of them. I've been having the same problem for a bit now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted October 4, 2017 @jeza Seemed to manage it in his new pic. What did you do man? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeza 5415 Posted October 4, 2017 Hey hey I don't use the aperture much, mine is done by manually clicking along the time of day until I get a hint of red / blue sunrise/sunset then tap the arrow to get to the right point (in minuets). Not sure if the seasons play a role also? Granted today's one worked perfect at first then when I tried some new angles the deep red/orange you get was hard to find. (Sidenote - using redshade blusky which gives darker colors ect hence the blood red) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wsxcgy 1960 Posted October 4, 2017 Yeah, I've found that it comes down to modifying the weather and time live, finding the perfect angle, and some careful post-processing/editing In my game I have the gamma reduced to .6, but for some reason it doesn't apply to screenshots so they don't come out looking exactly like they render in game and it is quite annoying. My preferred image editor doesn't have any way to reduce gamma either, I usually have to tweak the contrast and brightness some but it doesn't quite do what I want it to. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted October 4, 2017 Ok i get that. Still-it seems something has changed. If you look at the pic i posted above of the Chinook-those crazy bright orange clouds just dont seem possible now. And that was only taken a few months back.' There is no post processing or image editing in any of my pics. I used to get those results by modifying the time and weather like you said, and also tweaking the aperture. Ah well..I'll keep trying.

EO 11228 Posted October 4, 2017 The terrain a screenshot is taken on will also play a big part in the outcome, due to different lighting, skybox and tone mapping configurations. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikoaton 1001 Posted October 10, 2017 I want to apologize for answering now, I saw this thread today, I did not know it existed. I am proud to know that you guys like the captures I make, and to congratulate all the users who take their valuable time to making complex scenes and taking the best shot possible. My English is very bad, I use google translator, that's why I do not usually post. And finally, I would like to know if someone can help me make a thread to be able to launch an addon with most of my animations, as I said above my English is very bad and I do not express myself very well. Greetings. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I must investigate! In my screnshots i always set morning/evening, stop time, jump through NVG, Thermal and then back to normal and it always looks like this. If i resume time it will go back to original "state". Maps on screenshots below: Diyala and Prei Khmaoch Luong 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineptaphid 6413 Posted October 11, 2017 Good idea! I think a lot of it is map dependant also. @Alex150201 I thought that was a real pic as well :) Was thinking he had done a great job of matching the poses to a real pic :D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wiki 1558 Posted October 20, 2017 @ineptaphid Akthough the pics are nice, I think you made a mistake: 2 delta boys and 1 pilote : this is Super 64 crash site, not super 61 ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what i meant :D I'll edit it now.That will teach me to post pics at 4 am... Also others have pointed out that the wreck itself is a DAP uh-60 ,which i know makes no sense. Unfortunately, it is the only blackhawk wreck model available. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
