Self-hatred

Vistas of Azeroth…returns!

I’ve been itching do something at least quasi-photography related, but I still have no desire to go and pick my camera to do so. Instead I went and resubscribed to World of Warcraft for the purpose of capturing panoramic vistas from the video game. Dalaran? Netbook? Graphics on high? Fuckin’ murder, guvn’r.

As a bonus to any open source fans here, these images were entirely processed using open-source tools: Hugin, The Gimp, and Imagemagick

I’ve been happy to discover that as well as the Gimp maturing, so has Hugin (and it’s suite of tools) since I last used it. No more nightmares in having to pick out control points by hand because autopano was being crotchety. I even made a wee little screencast to go along with this; I’ll put it up later.

Gimp users: Is there any easy way to change the hardness of brushes on the fly, short of changing to a different brush?
