In Response To: Spherical Panorama: Overlook (HaLo2FrEeEk) : The final map in the Halo Reach Beta, finally spherized! This one gave me : even more trouble than the Powerhouse one, but in the end it was totally : worth it. : : Looking over Overlook : Like I said, this one gave me a lot of issues. The first batch of pictures I : took got messed up because halfway through my finger accidentally brushed : the trigger, causing the clip to fast forward, meaning the clouds weren't : in the right place and a stitch was impossible. The second batch...I don't : know what happened but they didn't want to stitch at first. I finally : added about 50 control points manually and got the thing looking perfect, : I guess it just needed some tender lovin'. : Overall, I'm very happy with Overlook. I'm happy I was able to time it just : right to get the rainbow to show up, it adds a nice touch. I was also : concerned that the dynamic lighting on Overlook (when you turn toward the : sun it gets dark and when you turn back into the map it gets brighter) was : going to make it hard to stitch, but that was the least of the issues, it : was able to color match perfectly. : As usual, here's the screensaver version: Overlook Screensaver : And the larger version of the Little World: Overlook Little World : And as a special bonus, for those of you wanting to know exactly what I see : when I'm making these, here's a printscreen of how I set up my screen when : working on a Panorama, click it for a superbig version: : Click for huge (3840x1200, 2.62MB) : And if you think this is the last, think again. I should have one more : coming, this time a battle scene, right in the thick of the action. : <3
