This time the hardpoints are correct, right? That Highlander looks like it is gonna be a great brawler, or ATM platform.

What is that supposed to mean?
The pictures are obviously just screenshots... Or maybe your toaster is that awful and can't run MWO on high settings?

Yes highest settings for me also but those are screenshots with an extra photoshopped layer...

In first Sköll picture, is that a PPC beam we see that seems eletrically charged?

And have you seen such blue smoke already? I see black smoke from cannons and red smoke for arty/air strikes but never saw blue one.

It might be dependent on your graphics setting though (probably the Effects subsection).

..still waiting for a RFL-IIC. *sigh*

[Matt Newman]

The screens for the Countdowns are 99% untouched from the game. I may touch up a particle effect if a barrel is poking through or remove Build info watermarks but otherwise my screenshots are directly from the game

I do embellish on Event and Sales but these are the only photoshop filters I use

• Levels - to brighten mid tones or lasers
  
• Unsharp Mask - to sharpen the image after I resize it
  
• Vignette - to darken the edges
  
• Radial Blur - to create a motion zoom effect
  
• Gaussian Blur - to fake depth of Field
  
• Adding in Props - Like Lucky charms or Octoberfest

Mostly the secret to taking good screens is

• Knowing what direction the Light is coming from
  
• Framing the shot with the lighting in mind
  
• Using Slomo to capture weapons firing in a dramatic way
  
• Taking a ton of Screens and Picking the Best ones

I took 188 Screens to get the 12 you see above

[ERescue]

@Mr. Newman: Thank you for interesting background info. <3

i guess in private lobby as spectator

Yes, Spectator in private match is how you would get an external camera view. So you will need a couple players and one spectator to get some good screens.

In development builds I have access to additional console commands that are disabled in release builds to prevent cheating.

May I suggest you unlock those in Testing Grounds? So people who like to take some nice screenshots with an external camera would be able to...
