PS2 Screenshot analysis using PivotViewer

[SurgeonX]

I've put together a bit of basic analysis of a few PS2 screenshots using PivotViewer.

You can use it to view and sort through screenshots based on a number of criteria.
There's still plenty more pictures to add, and I need to tidy up some of the meta data, but it's an interesting way to delve into some of the screenies released so far.

For example, if you're wondering which aircraft has been given the most screen capture love, then the Reaver is way ahead vs. the Scythe and the Mosquito.
11 vs. 6 vs. 2

And why hasn't there been any concept art released for the VS females?

You'll need SilverLight installed to use the site.

Lol 2 screen shot of the scythe ? really i dont know why i have so much of them on my planetside folders then ?

I have over 10 to 20 different screen shot of the Scythe i think your
«« analysis »» is kinda biased ;)

[Chefkoch]

[Snipefrag]

Nice, thanks for that. Bookmarked.

[SurgeonX]

Cheers everyone, glad you like it :D
I'll keep adding too it when I get a chance, so I'll repost here when I have.

If you spot any cool screenshots, stick a link in here or send me a PM, and I'll get them added.

Great work man. This must have taken some time to put together.

Cheers fella!
After getting the PivotViewer control itself all setup and working using Visual Studio, then the biggest pain was actually getting all the files uploaded.
PivotViewer uses Deep Zoom to split up all the images, so there's thousands of files to upload.
The meta data isn't too onerous, as there's an Excel plugin that helps you build the collections, it's just trying to decide how to split up the meta data that takes the time.

Very cool! Mind if I link to it from my site?

Aye, that'd be great Murkie. Thanks man :D

Lol 2 screen shot of the scythe ? really i dont know why i have so much of them on my planetside folders then ?

There's 6 on the site Stew, but if you've got loads then hit me up with some links and I'll get some more added :)

[Murkie]

Cheers SurgeonX - here's a link to it (http://thenchq.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/a-huge-collection-planetside-2-screenshots/) :)

EEGGGGG actly!!!

[Hamma]

This is very cool nice work!

I'm sure you got them all, or most of them at least but be sure to check out our media library we have pretty much every SS evar.

And if we are missing some let me know!

[Mod]

And another one to add...

[ArcGuard]

Why do all the female models look alright in concept and bad in game? :(

[VOWS Flawless]

Very handy and useful piece of work you put together. I'm going to post it in the news section of vowsclan.net... Thanks

[Ailos]

Hamma needs this in the PSU media section.

[Golden Rule]

Well, now I will be having an unproductive workday.

Great work SurgeonX!

[ChipMHazard]

EEGGGGG actly!!!

This vanu seems to be speaking in tongues... ALIEN TONGUES!
Or was that just a cry for help as Higby's hair started to attach itself:D

[Shogun]

great work!

when i noticed the clegged up section, i was wondering, if you are going to add all the clegged up fun pics from the clegged up thread (best thread of the year)

and the fanart thread contains hundrets of worthy pics, too.
a thing like this would be awesome to scan through all the available fanart and recruiting posters!

don´t know... is it possible to download single pics from this thing ? or would i have to note the name and search the pic again in the media section or threads?

[Phantomdestiny]

EEGGGGG actly!!!

please T-Ray tell me you are selling art books PLEASE

[Littleman]

please T-Ray tell me you are selling art books PLEASE

Pretty sure that was a damn good indication they're at least talking about it.

I know I'd buy it up right away. Couldn't give two turds for other MMO's artbooks, except maybe Aion's or TERA's if I ever see them available, but Planetside 2's is a must have.

[Broadside]

After looking at these, anyone else feel like the Mosquito looks like a whale?

[SweetJukes]

Love this. Good work mate.

[Gonefshn]

Very awesome! love it!

[SurgeonX]

Hi everyone, glad you found it interesting :D

There's now a massive update live for this...

Fan art has been added.
The Clegged Up posts have been added.
Thanks for the ideas to do this Shogun.

I've added a lot of the major Hairpocolypse shots from the community event last week.
I've added shots posted to Twitter.
I've split images by screen grab, camera phone and photo.
A few of Cosmic's comics have been added.
And a few extra pics have been added too.

Hope you enjoy doing some more browsing.

I've noticed a few duplicates though, so I'll try and get them removed next.
And for some reason the meta data is knackered for one image, so I need to track that down. It shows a blank image and is listed in each category as (no info).

This is very cool nice work!

I'm sure you got them all, or most of them at least but be sure to check out our media library we have pretty much every SS evar.

Thanks Hamma.
I've grabbed some extra pics off of PSU :D

And another one to add...


Thanks for the Infiltrator shot Mod.

Very handy and useful piece of work you put together. I'm going to post it in the news section of vowsclan.net... Thanks


Cheers VOWS :D

Thanks for the idea's Shogun, I've just added all those in now.
I'd like to make it possible to be able to save the images too, so I'll look into that a bit further.
But you'll definitely be able to find most of them in the PSU media section and threads. I did rename a lot of pics though, which might not help.

Very cool! Mind if I link to it from my site?

And thanks again Murkie.
Nice post :cool:

Ya think maybe because Matt Higby is NC and he puts out most of the NC Stuff - VS second because of T Ray and TR last because we never see our Faction Rep.

Who is the TR Faction Rep from SOE. Why is Matt keeping our Rep working all the time so we can't see him. It probally because the TR are not allowed to have a union. We are Warriors - Soldiers of the Terran Republic. Thats why you don't see more mosquitos.

And did you notice the names.

A Reaver is one who carries someone off by force - A powerful name
A scythe is a a tool to reap crops. But used as a mythical weapon.

A Mosquito - A bug - who likes bugs. makes you want to squish the lowly mosquito.

But then again - the thought of red and black blood sucking venomous insects attacking the VS and NC in overwhelming numbers does make me feel better. :evil:
