NIS Picture Madness

[CroatNotBorat]

Very nice

I also have an idea How about all German tanks side by side, from the smallest (Hetzer?) to the biggest (KT)? It's early morning, the sun is coming up, and it basically obscures the KT into a black silhouette, while the other tanks are visible. I don't know if that's possible... There's also an Officer standing in front of the camera, saluting. And if you can place some infantry on the tanks or in front of them, saluting back, that would be awesome

[OliverDogg]

I'v got another idea (my third one )
Maybe you could make some kind of armory with a guy who passes out weapons and axis soldiers standing in line to recieve a weapon.

[SalvieSoldier]

jesus dude these are amazing. How exactlly do u get the animations for these guys? Like how they stand and what not. using worldbuilder?? And where EXACTLY is worldbuilder in the company of heroes options?!?!

[AverageJoe]

Im just using the animations used in the various cutscenes from the campaign. Some are from vCoH, others from OF. The worldbuilder is in your main CoH folder, most likely in:
"C:\Program Files\THQ\Company of Heroes\Worldbuilder.exe"

@CroatNotBorat:
Im going to give this one a shot...after I finish the previous requests.

@OliverDogg:
I caint think of any animations that would work for that scene, so just give it time. It may not be possible though.

EDIT: I just hit the jackpot of discovery. OliverDogg's pic just might work! I just need to finish the nade throwing riflemen pic first.

EDIT2: Ok Nanor, finished your pic!

the nade throwing riflemen

the caption.

A riflemen throws a grenade as two Volks retreat into the fog of war.

[AverageJoe]

Finnaly finished Nanor's pic!

[Dark_Avenger]

ooh thanks for the infantry combat scene, its my desktop now

seriously these are great

[SilencerPL]

I specialy registerd on this forum for this topic.

Man you are doing amazing job. The last pic about rifles throwing nade is awsome (or better if it can get ).

I would like to see some Grenadiers with LMGs battling Rangers and in view there is MG-42 almost deployed ready to rain fire.

And the second would be Tiger or King Tiger ambushes Allied Tanks jumping out of Headgrow, and behind some tree cloaked storm troopers throwing bundle nade.

By the way can it be done without the black stripes above and under ?

[TankHunter678]

The black strikes makes it look like a movie moment.

Hey Average can you make one of a Goliath running underneath a passing Pershing and exploding?

[freshfreddy]

awesome pictures. realy

Oh, could you make one with a squad of men standing in the background (or walking), a litle bit Band of Brothers style?
Maybe even with some windmills in the far back and some Brit tanks (to represent Market-Garden)?

[sonarghost]

Long story short I have to have a hell of a reason to ever post on any forum I am a member of and I HAD to post to let you know your pics keep me coming back to this forum daily. You are doing an Awesome job! Keep it up soldier!

[Ace651]

These are really wild... Three years ago these graphics would have been good for a FPS, now they are in an RTS. Incredible.

[armen]

Wow nice pix mayn!!

Idea: some falschirmjager (sp?) and stormtroopers standing for a picture with a newly captured allied flag, with a tiger tank in the background and the tiger posing for the pic as well!!

My friend and I always play Lufftwaffa/Blitz

Hope you pick mine! :P keep up the great artistic work mate cheers!

[Merc950]

Badass Pics Joe!!!! I have a request.....a captured King Tiger and some Brit Commandos celebrating or hangin out by it.

Thanks

[AverageJoe]

This turned out a TON better then I thought it would.

CoH BoB Style!

the caption.

Isnt it obvious? This is Company of Heroes....Band of Brothers style!

[shiner980]

Very Cool, but the LMG on the guy to the left is kinda out of place, but all beautiful none the less, so keep up the good work.

If you could I would request something that looks like the cover of Opposing Fronts, with a assault led by a Jagdpanther against...well i dunno what it should go against, just go with what you feel is best.

[SilencerPL]

I think Ill make it as wallpaper

[mir]

AverageJoe, to echo everyone else's thoughts - these are amazing Pics!!

I love the CoH BoB pic! But could we have a squad(s) Fallschirmjager instead of American rifles?

[Croner]

Another nice picture.

PS: Could you delete some PM's? I can't send you new PM's because your storage is full =\

[dertommygun]

I sign up with those who wants them in hi-res to use 'em as wallpapers.

They're really great!

[Ace651]

Looking very nice, Joe. Your name belies your impressive creativity. Any chance of some more vehicle pictures?

[codog239]

hey joe can you contact me asap?

[SilencerPL]

Joe try to upload pics in JPG format ? The Load time will be faster and the quality wont change if you use best compresion

[Rhyper]

upload time will be longer SilencerPL, but who cares :P
Joe your doing awesome as I see your pictures, can u make me one of a big frontline(like 2 sandbag walls facing eachother with like 10-15 meters away from eachother) and ALOT of infantry shooting eachother? rifleman + rangers + para's(with maybe some high ranked officers) VS volksgrenadiers + grenadiers+ stormtroopers +(maybe knights cross holders) + officer(s) behind that encouraging his man.

[freshfreddy]

thanks a lot for the BOB style shot. GREAT GREAT work

[[]inveigle[]]

I want a picture of an american and german comander dueling banjos while thier squads cheer them on.

[AverageJoe]

While []inveigle[]'s pic isnt possible, I will take on any new requests that come along. Feel free to steal or repeat previous ideas I havent yet done since I'm not going back through the thread for pics to finish.

Lets get it on!

[shifty_powers]

Wow, some of these previous pics are utterly stunning.
Very nice job fella indeed.

Hmmmm, well hows about one with an Upgunned Sherman, taking on a Tiger / King tiger with a couple of squads of rangers flanking. Maybe both from different sides and in a heavily bombed urban envrionment.

Nothing too specific eh.

[Dark Angel N00b]

Can we have a link to larger versions of the pics please? If you have them that is. i wouldnt mind a desktop of one of these but they look daftly stretched on a 24" monitor!

Pretty awesome pictures nonetheless though.

[Gethsemani]

I want piospam made picture! A horde of pioneers rushing a .30 behind some sandbags or something along those lines...

[delly]

How about some flamer engineers taking out a MG garrisoned in a beachfront bunker with a bit of D-Day action in the background, a bit of a Saving Private Ryan tribute?

[darkfox101]

Avg joe where art tho tuts !

[AverageJoe]

Avg joe where art tho tuts !

Well, I might very well make one! Check the How To: Section in the Armory by the end of th week! (No April Fools joke either! )

[nuttyjawa]

a how to would be awesome!

[AverageJoe]

Hey all, I picked some of my favorites and resized them to 1600x1200. I'm an image editing noob but I think they should fit "your" monitor now.

Download via .zip!

[Kuriente]

Here's something somewhat specific for you to try:

A Panzer IV surrounded by American (or British) tanks and infantry with its crew standing around it surrendering. The Panzer could have side skirts showing damage (missing panels as sometimes seen in the game) and perhaps some engine damage or even a destroyed gun. The scene should show signs of the battle which just ended, such as smoldering wrecks, blown out houses, etc... Basically the dust is still settling as the last of the German Panzers surrenders.

Might be kinda hard to pull off but it's something I thought up while looking at your other pics. Really nice work on them btw!

[Dark Angel N00b]

Thanks, brand new desktop for me!

[Felipe_Panzer]

WOW amazing picks, looks like a movie.
Nice work

Some nice videos made using NIS

[AverageJoe]

I invisioned the perfect scene for Gethsemani's idea when I read it...and this picture looks exactly like it!

the Piospam horde!

the caption.

A pioneer horde charges a desperate .30 cal gunner. And is it just me or does this look like a loading screen?

More to come tomorrow. I'll try to get that tutorial up as soon as I finish a few more btw.

[shiner980]

Can you make a picture that looks like the front cover of Opposing Fronts, like a Jagdpanther assaulting a forward British position with Assault Grenadier support or something xD...Preferably in the daytime

Oh and that pio hoard picture is amazing, good work as always!

[Newbie657]

How about a PG blob surrounding the husk of a hulled-down churchill croc and some slit trenches with a captain inside the middle trench with bren infantry sections shooting desperately to hold off he mass of infantry?

[Xazax]

Hey, just like to comment nice work... i cant believe how the NIS tool really brings up the detail, Does CoH support HDR? because in the Volks picture i noticed the background is vivid.

[deus ex machina]

Oh wow, these pics are surprisingly epic. Awesome quality, too.

Joe, I have a request. I'd LOVE to see a remake of this famous scene from Apoc Now (http://content.answers.com/main/cont...ke_Victory.jpg)

Except replace the napalm in the background with a bombing run, Kilgore with a Brit captain, and the troops next to him with riflemen.

Doable, or too complex? Timing the bombing run just right would be hard I imagine.

[Stealth150]

I have a very large monitor, can we get them in 1920x1200 res please?

[AverageJoe]

That's doable, deus ex machina; I'll have to see if I can find some animations for Kilgore though. 1600x1200 is the highest resolution I can get them.

[AverageJoe]

I hate double posts but I think it's kinda important to say that I edited the first post to include all the pictures through the thread! I'll be sure to add new ones there too.

And I was too busy today to start any new ones so I'll have to wait untill tomorrow before I start a new one.

[zig83]

this thread is awesome.

[deus ex machina]

Bump, hope you haven't forgotten us joe!

[AverageJoe]

I have a little, been really busy in RL. That tutorial will have to wait for next week too.

[Papinak]

Dude, those pics are amazing, but plz can you resize them to widescreen res? If not 1920x1200, then 1680x1050 plz so people with widescreen LCDs can you those as wallpapers. THX

[Herr Kodax]

Here's an idea: You could make a German giving a smoke to some Allied PoWs, or vice versa (or both of them )
