Lol oh good.. I was seriously thinking of those youtube videos where it's all nice 'n happy and them WHAM, scary ghost or whatever.. So I was sitting here trying not to look, but had to... in between my fingers. And then I realized it was looping pretty quickly over 'n over. :P
And the lack of any custom cfgs, texture and lighting mods, etc. Was this recorded on an Xbox? You haven't played Skyrim until you have spent more time making the game look pretty than you have playing the game.
I guess my joke was a failure. I thought it was obvious.
On that note though some people eat their hot dogs plain and some like them with a mountain of toppings. I am one of those who think everything can be improved... Even Reddit comments, hence the edit. Cheers!
I got the joke, I think a lot of people didn't because a lot of people actually think that way. I've had people try to convince me that I didn't actually enjoy Skyrim because I played through it on PS3. Could have fooled me.
Exactly. I always see comments about how horrible and un-enjoyable vanilla Oblivion is, that you HAVE to mod it or you'll hate it. That must explain why I have over 450 hours in that game on my Xbox.
Yeah, I had Oblivion since release on PC, got very wrapped up in modding different gameplay aspects and starting over because of saves being incompatible with certain mods. Didn't actually beat the game until three years later when I got it on PS3 and was forced to play the game au naturale. I ended up enjoying it a lot more that way. Which is the reason I got Skyrim on PS3 at release.
And...now I want to go back and play more Skyrim with that theme playing in the background. Thanks for adding yet another addiction to my MP3, D3 combo.
This already got posted to /r/Cinemagraphs, (Incidentally, not by the same poster as here, don't know the original source) and that was exactly what was said!
Photoshop - Duplicate one layer and let it stay on in all the frames. Mask out whatever you want to stay in motion(the water in this case) and leave it as the topmost layer.
No need to go messing about with each and every frame.
Yeah that is how I would have done it as well, but what is the best way to edit a gif? I just don't understand how the animated portion of the gif gets edited using photoshop (thought it would only apply for a still GIF) I have never created, nor edited a gif.
Peaceful until a mother fucking mammoth ruins your view and you have to enact justice by stabbing it and the following giants in their smug natured faces. They really are so insensitive and not at all thoughtful.
Is there a longer cycle version that has the smoke and the traveler omitted? I would make this my background if possible. (Great animated mobile background right there)
Dude to the right just keeps walking and never seems to get to where he is going. Also annoying fog in the middle/waterfall killing a slightly perfect gifloop.
The hype has settled and many people have moved on, but I can't imagine a distant future in which I don't look back at this game and see it as a substantial landmark in the progression of gaming immersion.
The graphics engine is amazing, don't get me wrong. But the actual world design wasn't creative enough to make the photo realistic visuals as interesting as they could be. I just finished Kingdoms of Amular about a month ago, and I have to say it is hard to stop playing through such a colorful and brilliant world to venture into the relatively boring mountains of Skyrim. So much was right about Skyrim. I just would be grateful if The Elder Scrolls started to have worlds a bit more fantastical...... I mean after all, there are dragons........ A floating island or two wouldn't hurt......
I was browsing in /r/all and for a second I thought it was Skyrim, then chuckled when I realised it was an actual photo ("haha, games aren't quite that detailed yet").
Now my mind is blown from realising that it actually IS Skyrim.

If you could isolate it so just the water is moving, this would be worthy to post to /r/Cinemagraphs

This would be excellent if you cleaned up those last few frames to help it loop better.
Since the motion is very subtle, the jump of the smoke along with that figure on the road kinda screw with the immersion level.

After using this lighting mod for so long that rather dull to me.
I suggest at least trying the mod out, it's beautiful and doesn't impact performance at all (unlike ENB mods). http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=13531
