    Default The Gallery of Pyrrhus

    Hello everyone,
    I decided i might as well take a few pic's with the Movie-Cam, it is actually fun, and i dont mind at all. Of course none of these pictures are as good as the pictures i've seen here, but we all have to learn right?

    Note: I took 2 pictures that were simply amazing, sadly they got corrupted, so i cannot upload them, will have to try and take an identical picture tomorrow. Also, i only had 3 un-corrupted pictures, so this will be a short first thread.

    The armies of Rome and Carthage have clashed in Spain, under the Command of Gnaeus Scipio, the roman Legions have won some minor victories over the Carthaginians. Hasdrubal Barca had decided to crush the Roman Legion once and for all, and has gathered all of his elite African and Iberian veterans. He has also brought a small detachment of Elite Indian elephants, aquired through trade dealings with the Ptolemaic Empire in Aegyptus.

    Veterans of many wars, they head into battle:


    Throwing the famed Pila, the Hastati charge the startled and disorderly Phalanx:


    Even the Terrible Indian elephants are not invincible:


    Not every soldier is worthy:


    I hope you liked it!

    If you have any tip's or suggestions please do tell me, i am open to any suggestion. It is too bad all those pictures became corrupted( 8 pictures in fact).

    Could you make the sige of Corinth? Corinth was the last greek city of Greece before Greece fall cmpletely to Rome. There's many good Roman and Greek skins you can use and as I saw you are using great skins!

    -EDIT- Sorry I thought it was Greek skins

    Good show, Pyrrhus.

    I presume you are using I:TW skins ? (I'm a bit behind with the latest in the mod community I'm afraid)

    The first one in the thread is probably the best. The skin is amazing.

    Do you have anything like photoshop or ms paint or something? If you do, use them. Play with saturation, balance, contrast, and focal depth of field effects. You can get some really great stuff. Look at the current pic of the day and some of the other threads, they will show you how great depth of field can make a picture. Also, try to get interesting angles and animations, look up some photography techniques and terms. After all, you're basically a photographer here. Rule of Thirds, keep everything in the picture divided into thirds. Don't always get the thing dead center of the frame. Remember to keep the composition fluid. With the movie camera, you have time to set up a great shot. Don't worry about getting a dozen mediocre shots in ten minutes rather get two or three great ones. Think of the mood of the shot, and the message you are trying to convey. I really love the charging elephant one of yours (your best). Make sure that everything in frame is there intentionally and try to focus on the most important part of the picture. Just some advice from a Photography major.

    it's already in your game: just play a costum battle, save the battle replay and load it. Of course you'll have to enable the movie_cam (pic)


    good luck!
