Hey There,

I have no idea whether this has been done before, however being a capable Vbulletin user I took the liberty of performing a search which didn't make me any the wiser however if this thread has been done before I shall have the mods cast it into the depths of Oblivion and give it pure lockage. [/booming voice]


So anyway the point of this thread is just as the title states. To post your arty screenshots. Weird, wacky, crazy, funny, pure hilarity and of course Freemany. (Or shepardy if you prefer that fool. :P ) I wasn't sure where to post this but it seems pretty general hence it has been posted in the "general" forum for Half life 2. See what I did there. No never mind. Anyway I have a couple of rules to keep the screenies clean. They are quite strict rules but first for the purpose of giving some of you some better quality screenies I will give you a quick tutorial to make your screenies slightly better. Of course most of you probably know this old trick anyway and I am probably wasting my time but I'll live.




Right to make yourself a better quality screenie you could:


1) Go to: Ingame-> options -> Keyboard -> Advanced -> Check the developers tools box.
2) Hit the button next to "1" at the top of your keyboard.
3) This will bring up the developers box.
4) Now enter:

Cl_drawhud_0 (To get rid of the HUD and crosshair)
Impulse 200 (To remove the weapon model.)

Rules
1) All screenshots must be taken ingame. (This means no Garry Mod poses)
2) You may use all cheats besides noclipping.
3) No Alyx nude mod screenies (This was just to cover my butt and mae sure that one was cleared up. I am sure you are all sophisticated forum-goers and wouldn't dream of using such a mod. ;) )
4) You may use any image editing software that you see fit. eg; GIMP, Photopshop etc.
5) Only post YOUR work no nicking somebody elses work off another site.
6) Have fun!



Due to me being the kind guy that I am I will start us off. :)

More to come from me. I have 14 being uploaded to imageshack. :)
 
That you have to talk with a lisp and wear a beret while taking the screenshot. :p
 
What does artillery have to do with Half-Life? Headcrab artillery?
 
I think he means artistic... No idea.
 
now that would be awesome.....someone should make a gun that shoots headcrabs long distances...

HL2 already has that....those little pods shooting out of the citadel had headcrabs in them
 
hungryduck didn't even play the game :|
 
That is freakin mean! -6. Anyway, 'Arty' Is not a word. Technically, I am smarter because I know what is a word and what isn't. Stupid hippie.
 
Hmm well this is hardly impressive so far, should probably be in the art forum. Taking HL2 screenshots was a long time ago pass time, 04/05...wow that's some time ago now. Anyway, some of your screenshots are garry's mod made, which basically means these are poses - for the Garry mod poses thread. Considering the moaning, I'll change Arty for artistic in hope it revives...something!?
 
So he broke his own rules with the gmod violations?
 
That is... sigh.. low man, so low.
 
No, this isn't made in Gmod. He just +used the can :p
 
You forgot another command to increase screenshot quality.
jpeg_quality 100

normally its 90 % with that its 100 % qual ;)
 
I will raise my hands graciously and accept I have just had my butt pwned from here to the Oblivion forum. :P

Each and everyone one of you gets an annihilation cheer. :)
