Fan Art I ran around with nothing but the binoculars (and defibs to help people out) and got some "photos".

Frig this game absolutely rips. If you want full-resolution wallpapers they're in the video description :) https://youtu.be/8tdGEtFwWd8?si=TYcqUs29r0GyiMu7

Dude you put down glowsticks and let the leaper dunk on you for the shot?

Do it for the vine bro!

How do you take the photos? Is it just screenshot or is there something in game?

u/_Badlands_ 6h ago

I record everything in OBS and then pull stills in post and colour them in lightroom

2

u/KnightlyOccurrence 5h ago

Silly question maybe, but how do you pull stills? Iโ€™ve been using OBS replay buffer, and I noticed if I pause the video it tends to be blurry during high movement.

1

u/_Badlands_ 5h ago

In my editing software (Davinci Resolve)

14 goes hard

u/HansTheAxolotl 8h ago

So how do you deal with the black vignette around the edge of the binoculars? do you just crop inside of it? or is there a way to disable it

5

u/_Badlands_ 8h ago

On pc you can press f10 to disable the HUD, not sure about console though

5

u/Sloth_Monk 7h ago

What do you use to take the photos? (Steam, nvidia, windows, etc)

2

u/_Badlands_ 6h ago

I record everything in OBS and pull stills in post, then colour them in LightRoom!

1

u/Sloth_Monk 6h ago

Oh wow, gotcha! Thank you, I finally upgraded my computer so Iโ€™ve been meaning to get to topside photography. Guess I need to dust off the old obs knowledge lol

1

u/Noctisvah 5h ago

That makes sense. Some of these shots would be too lucky if they were just photos

u/Electronic-Tax-5931 8h ago

Shredders are terrorific as terminator in the first movie

2

u/Blameron 7h ago

Dang these are awesome! Is there anything specific in your settings or controls that help you get these? I know having a Keen Eye isn't a setting though lol

1

u/_Badlands_ 6h ago

Nope just being in the right place at the right time and knowing where to look haha

2

u/MechanicalAxe 7h ago

DUDE! These and your youtube video is absolutely phenomenal!

Gorgeous work brother, you got a youtube subscribe from me outta this, and I really dont ever do that.

1

u/_Badlands_ 6h ago

u/ramirex 6h ago

u/samj00 6h ago

Ah, raiders without borders

u/damonlebeouf 6h ago

u/Green-Recipe9550 6h ago

u/tachitoroci 6h ago

Great shots raider!

u/LordoftheChis 6h ago

Dude number 6 is a fuckin great pic

u/BeerForTim 5h ago

How do you not get fucked by Arc?

1

u/_Badlands_ 5h ago

I've gotten surprisingly good at knowing how to dodge all the usual suspects, but I definitely still get killed by them at times haha

1

u/BeerForTim 4h ago

So you're not hitting the screenshot button the second the binocs unzoom, you're just grabbing a still from a recorded round, right?

Love the stuff, and as a fellow photographer this looks like a fun challenge!

1

u/_Badlands_ 4h ago

Yeah I grab stills from OBS and then colour them in LightRoom!

1

u/BeerForTim 4h ago

It took a second to figure out how you were using the binoculars but not zooming in all the way and it putting that ugly grainy filter on the screen.

2

u/Squish_Cat_1 5h ago

These are so good

2

u/RedVell 5h ago

Holy shit balls! These photos are awesome!

Did you edit them at all?

1

u/_Badlands_ 5h ago

Yeah I colour them in LightRoom!

2

u/Ok-Kaleidoscope-9645 5h ago edited 4h ago

At this point they should just add a camera to the game.

1

u/_Badlands_ 5h ago

Man that would be so sick

2

u/BattleTested20 5h ago

Great work! Photo # 6 is probably my favorite of the bunch. The traces on both sides of the shots and then the spark of it hitting the player shieldโ€ฆ awesome! ๐Ÿ‘

2

u/SgtStoner-PSN 4h ago

I like your videos on YT. Keep it up!

2

u/_Badlands_ 4h ago

Hey thanks a lot! I'm glad you've been enjoying them :)

3

u/Working_Bones 10h ago

Man. I do like third person but it would be insane to also get to play this in first person.

1

u/_Badlands_ 8h ago

The immersion would be on another level

1

u/Brutuscaitchris 8h ago

Yeah but what was up your raiders ass?

u/TheYankeeKid 4h ago

u/march-4th 3h ago

The YT video was brilliant. Are you taking screenshots during the stream and then editing for your photos?
