I think swan dive is kind of cheating, as it makes even the crappiest screenshot look stunning xD

Meh, such a shame that the demo doesn't work on my computer.. But I look forward to others' entries, magnificent! :tmb:

Those are really great!

[NightWish]

Apofiss, so you didn't like my ideas I see :p

ANYWAY here is my incredibly weird EPIC screen! :D

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g154/NightWish6969/Screenshots/tru2008-11-0123-21-55-01.jpg

Tiger: I SWEAR,babe, im not gonna eat you!
Lara: LOLZ! I CAN DO A HAIR-STAND! *wonders if Alison can do that*

[tomblover]

I have 8 potential picks. (Out of 13, I removed 5.)

Which one to pick and post, which one? :cln:

[Pipolinne]

[Mytly]

Wow, wow, wow! So this is what the demo looks like on good PCs! :eek: Jarekhanzelka, your pics are lovely, the entry as well as the extras. :tmb: The other entries in this thread are damn good too - though Riv's Flying Tiger and NightWish's EPIC screen deserve special mention. :D

I'll participate in this OSC, but it will be quite embarassing, as my PC can run the demo only at a 800x600 resolution with all effects turned off, so my screenshots look hideous. :(

[tomblover]

Omgosh, it's now narrowed down to six pictures. 4 more to narrow down to. :p

[Nausinous]

I take it your not going to vote for anyone who does a swandive? :(

[Apofiss]

@Cortez, kind of reminds of TR3, me like it :]

@NightWish, umm.. quite so :p ...in the end I felt like this one needs a bit more direct approuch without any second thoughts.

My entry. :)

This went through several incarnations - it was very tricky to do right.

EDIT - You can imagine the scenario for yourself - Lara's just tumbling into Thailand through a wormhole, or someone is shooting at her with a rocket launcher...take your pick! :D

Great screens everyone!

I swear to tell the truth and only the truth! 'lol

hey how did you do this move? looks very cool

[Anajrob]

hey how did you do this move? looks very cool

First you find some surface that you think Lara could jump over... while running towards it, press space (jump) and then shift. I think that's just a handstand.

[Angelx14]

Join the OSC cult: we fight swandives :D!

Oh, I'm so in XD

Some amazing screenshots so far! :tmb:

[Rivendell]

First you find some surface that you think Lara could jump over... while running towards it, press space (jump) and then shift. I think that's just a handstand.

I thought you just held space when you jumped over? That works for me! :tmb:

[Anajrob]

I thought you just held space when you jumped over? That works for me! :tmb:

Yes... I tried a lot of different combinations... XD

Actually, when you press jump + shift button Lara vaults over... the ledge :p

[raiderfun]

Straddles ? :D

[Catlantean]

One question: is it OK to crop screenshots? Like when you have a fight screenshot that would look much better without that big healthbar/ammo panel.

[Dark Lugia 2]

Good luck everyone :tmb:

http://i36.tinypic.com/juem8w.jpg

Woah! :D reminds me so much of the Kali statue. :D

LOL @ tiger!

[sandygrimm]

wow, you get better shots with TRU than in other TR games :P

[Apofiss]

Only adjusting brightness, no cropping.

[Angelx14]

I'm leaving the cult xD.. may I post one with swan dive? It was very needed to accomplish the mission XD

Ok here's mine. It's not a swan dive. I changed my mind =p. Wanna go back to the cult.. [it was too bright XD]

http://i33.tinypic.com/2d27v4.png

[Shrantellatessa]

^ WoW :yik: Amazing :tmb:

I think this is the best & toughest OSC ever (for now) ;)

[Mytly]

*Jaw drops* Wow, Angelx14, that's fantastic! :tmb:

I'm glad you didn't give in to the urge to swandive. Fight the evil swandive for the sake of the OSC cult! :D

[Angelx14]

I think this is the best & toughest OSC ever (for now) ;)
Hah, agreed. So many ways you can make a beautiful screenshots, and mostly because the scenery is great.

I'm glad you didn't give in to the urge to swandive. Fight the evil swandive for the sake of the OSC cult! :D

Angelx14.... Simply Amazing!!!

[Mytly]

One of my most boring OSC entries to date :( ... but the demo runs so badly on my PC (at 2-5 fps! :hea:) that it's practically impossible to do much more with it.

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w116/Mytly/OSC%20shots/OSC73-TRU-ThailandDemo.jpg

[Angelx14]

^Oh wow! That ain't boring =O That's an awesome move =D

[Anajrob]

Mytly, that's a reallyyyyyy good screenshot for a 2-5 fps ;)

Not boring at all :)

[Mytly]

Thanks ... but I personally don't like it at all. Besides, it was just an "accident" - I just kept smashing some buttons hoping to get Lara to move out of the tigers' way, and somehow she did a backflip.

[silver_wolf]

ok I'll submit this one :D

I'm loving some of these. I'd like to do something just as imaginative myself, but seem to be lacking in time....
