Bungie's wallpapers look sharper because they can render any shot they want, at any resolution they want. Its not like I can design an MC from the ground up, have it look perfect, then render shots. I can only use what is given, with what simple programs I have (photoshop).

If you think all I did was enlarge the shot, try it yourself, and see how different yours looks from mine.

the first one was the best i've ever seen! great job, dude.

lol

Yeah, ive made wallpapers, and posted them.. but I have never said they are high quality when they aren't.

And yeah, mine would probably come out the same as yours. But I would just lower the resolution of the image, and go for 800x600, so it would be better quality.

Well, my dear friend, what you fail to realize is that the quality of an image is more than resolution alone. It is opinion, and I, unlike you, believe my work is high quality. I never once claimed that they were high res.

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

Very, very nice.
Someone should pay you.

wallpaper 1. the images were very well strung together, but it doesnt seem real to have that reflection in the cheif's mask actually being behind him. also the text seems a little odd for the way it looks,but overall you nailed it.

wallpaper 2. the image is a little pixelated and would need better re sizing, otherwise its great.

looks good the first one is the best.
it looks clean and not too crammed

If you cpuld get the 2nd one in high res
that would be great.

Thanks for the constructive criticism, I was thinking about changing that text on the first one, maybe playing around with the pictures some. As for the second one, that shot was taken by me from the video. So I cant get it to be any higher res, and I don't know if I'd like to have the chief smaller, but I might toy around with that as well.

You should master Photoshop before calling it a simple program. I mean, you did a good job for these wallpapers, but Photoshop is one of the most used by profesionnals software. I know you don't have the Halo 3 Masterchief 3d model to make your own renders, but you can modify the existing ones with a lot more advanced techniques that what you used. And you probably didn't even pay for this "simple" program.

Just a lil something I cooked up. Its 1600x1200 so it should fit most of your desktops, if anyone wants it edited somehow to better fit them, PM me.

I apologize, I should have worded my thoughts better. You're right, photoshop is not by any means a simple program, and I have yet to master it. I was only trying to point out the differences between what Bungie has its disposal to make wallpapers as opposed to what I have.

All you did is take Bungie's images and add amatuer photoshop effects that anyone could learn in less than an hour, but they do look decent, so good job I guess?

Shut up. Just give the kid a compliment. He did a great job making great wallpapers then shared them for everyone to use and you flame him? Just shut up.

You can take any artwork and break it down into mechanics, but that doesn't diminish its quality. An example; I could say, "all you did was poke at your keyboard until you formed a short paragraph with almost entirely correct spelling." But I don't like to tell people "all they did," because I'm pretty sure they already know. They are the ones who did it in the first place, right? But thanks for your opinion, I'll try not to spend it all in one place.

I updated both of them, all minor changes. The most noticeable of these is the change of the text in the first one. Hope you enjoy!

  • 06.20.2006 5:36 PM PDT

Master chief for life.

I could care less what bad things people would have to say after this.
1) thoese were sone of the best wallpapers Iv seen for halo
2) if you could gat high res pics of them that would be nice
AND....

Another restriction on the resolution is of course hosting. I have to bring them down in (file) size (thus resolution also), just so I can get them hosted full (dimension) size.

Edited for clarification.
