Buildings or Mountains will distort like crazy, and you’ll have this weird bulbous mass that can look very weird. The general rule of thumb: avoid scenes where you’ll have big objects 30 degrees above the horizon.

Since ICE accepts PNGs as inputs, you can cut out bad parts of the inputs and leave them transparent. Get Steam to screenshot in PNG, and use these instead of the default JPEGs.

But ICE is free, extremely easy to use, doesn’t require an internet connection, and can run on any version of Windows newer than XP.

Feel free to use GeDoSaTo to capture at 16K if you want, but it probably won’t be worth the effort / fire hazard.Įverything ICE does, Adobe’s Creative Cloud can do. Worry about getting the smallest object you care about in the scene looking good, rather than trying to force as many pixels as you can into each shot. While this is normally a big deal in screenshots, higher resolutions have diminishing returns when you’re making panoramas this way. You may also note that I didn’t mention the resolution of your screenshots.

Our software can do Gigapixel resolution panoramas if you’ve got the RAM (and ability to open the final image), but for most games, you’ll have massively diminishing returns for FOVs below 80. On FOV and Capture Resolution: Wider angles will make the capturing process *much* faster at the expensive of image quality, but tighter FOV will give you more environmental detail (Most games don’t include Perspective Distortion, so it’s like cruddy version of supersampling that won’t turn your GPU into molten slag). That said, I tend to turn off post-processing effects that add things like dirt or scratches to the lens, such as the psuedo Bokeh effect in XCOM2, but that’s up to you. We’re not trying to be playable, we’re after capturing the mood of the environment. Image quality is the highest priority when making these things. If the game doesn’t have either of these, don’t worry! This process will still work, you’ll just have a few extra steps (These are covered in the Tips section). If the game doesn’t have a dedicated capture mode, see if you can make one with the console (Things like Noclip, Time-stop, Disabling HUD), using GeDoSaTo to get rid of HUD items or great big things that say “PAUSED” in the middle of the screen, or using Cheat Engine or PCGamingWiki for an idea of what I’ve got available to work with. If a game has a dedicated Capture Mode (Mad Max, Shadow Warrior 2, or anything that has NVIDIA Ansel), use this. We'll use ABZÛ throughout this tutorial, and DeadEndThrills excellent CheatEngine Table. Third-Person cameras won’t work with this method, since the “pivot point” of the camera is out in the scene, rather than at the “lens” of the camera. For instance, XCOM2 and ABZÛ have these, despite not being first-person games. While any FPS will work here, many other games have these hidden away as a debug camera. Have a look through your library, and find a game where you’ve got access to a First-Person camera.
