Can I ask you guys a question? (Particularly Parvus, Acecombat, ThirtyG and Mr. Burns)

How long, on average, do you reckon it takes for you to complete a shot? How long in the mission editor, and how long in your photo editor?

Just curious - your shots are so incredible.

Umm, really depends anywhere from 5 minutes to 90 minutes, generally speaking i run around in editor more with a camera than a gun, just taking pictures of stuff (trees, dirt, grass whatever tounge_o.gif ) wink_o.gif I suppose i'm a crazy OFP cameraman biggrin_o.gif

Things like the F111 pictures might have taken 1 minute to setup, 10 minutes to take, then 1 minute each in photochopper - 20 minutes.

Something like this http://users.tpg.com.au/adsl0fx/160304/2.jpg took about 60 minutes to source the location, script it and take the shots, 5 minute editing, something like the deltas/pavehawk set and deltas/ littlebird in the city set maybe 90 minutes each.

Something like this http://users.tpg.com.au/adsl0fcx/160304/7.jpg

10 minutes all up, probably 5 minutes editing the pictures rest setting it up and taking it

The longest i ever spent scripting was on the MTLB with russian naval set (but it don't really count i suppose as it was for a cutscene). That was a week long project tuning it to how i wanted.

Longest i spent editing a photo was the shot of the MTLB wreck infront of Mt Nogova, that took ages cause it is actually 5 different pictures all put together into one, then all the texturing effects i applied, maybe 3 hrs? crazy_o.gif

Lol... here are some wildly different images I've taken tonight. Thought I would try different styles and some editing in PS just to see what I could come up with. Now I'm so tired I can't tell the difference 'tween a rabbit and a Blackhawk...  tounge_o.gif

But anyways, are they any good? Or should I stick to unedited ones? Or whatever...now I'm off to bed befozzzzzzzzzzzz

How long, ....

Good Question  smile_o.gif - for my part: It takes more time to make screenies than gaming - its the same creativity like a moviemaker has to become while making his movie(szenario/addons=stars biggrin_o.gif /light ...etc.)

BI_Misc_Cross.jpg

Title: In God we trust! (actually to the M. Brooks Movie)

while beeing a *perfectionist* i always try over and over to get the best position/twillight/AI-face-mimik ... round about 3-4h - means 12-15 pics to get 1 ready

=>worst case: the other photgrapher makes *your* pic (3-4h!) and post them before yours - and its nicer then yours - e.g. *Pavehawk* release -

(like to girlfriends on the same party with the same clothes  smile_o.gif .. its doesnt work! )

really a good question... it´s most likely how thirtyg explained it. photoshootings can take from 15 - 120 minutes.

if i take a good shot during normal gameplay it just takes me a few minutes to edit/upload/post it (exception being complex edited pics).

when i build missions (no photoshoot intended) and after some time i get fed up with unit placing i write <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this exec "camera.sqs" in someones initline instead.

the desire that parvus feels, to take a really good picture, forces me too to take several shots from different angles- and that´s when time starts flying... crazy_o.gif

@parvus: 2 GF on the same party do work ! it´s only the 2 girls disliking the situation..noone else cares whistle.gifbiggrin_o.gif

I have tried to make some more impressive screens with this fast-as-hell plane, so there are they:

This is our last undemaged plane on Nogova and we have to stop the convoy of Scud lunchers since they destroy our motherland...

jnn_migfight_1.jpg

Yes, the first is destroyed!

jnn_migfight_2.jpg

But there are more of them....

jnn_migfight_3.jpg

Mayby too much of them...

jnn_migfight_4.jpg

Last rocket...

jnn_migfight_5.jpg

So there is only one chance -

jnn_migfight_6.jpg

- how stop them all at once...

jnn_migfight_7.jpg

done...

jnn_migfight_8.jpg

Pics only croped a sharpened - no edit :-)

OMG ....

I love that MIG !!!

Jennik any chance you ll release this addon with the previous one you posted without any country marks on it ?

Would be perfect for a rogue state plane.

This plane is absolutely amazing me, very very nice texturing work !

Keep up the good work !

And the pics are great too !  He has alot of love for his country  wink_o.gif ... ofcourse he also coulda haved lined it up with the bridge and eject last second.

Cheers
