Here are some more virtual screens: http://www.vrway.com/vr_hl2/home_fullscreen.html But how did they paused the game without the PAUSE image to appear? Any help? Did they remove it later by editing the pictures?

Re: [hlcoders] (semi OT) 3d panoramas
And If everything else fail, Garris Mod let you create any image you can dream of, with added fx. A hacky way to use ingame screenshots its to fake real architecture if the player view its far or static. Other than that, may be outdated.

Re: [hlcoders] (semi OT) 3d panoramas
Why fake holograms when you can make REAL holograms with half-life? A real way to make 3d holograms its to save 1 s demo. Then load the demo with timespeed lowered to zero, and unsticky the player view to move around the map. got Matrix? Yet another interesting device its to put the camera looking at a player, then rotate the camera doing screenshots. Say.. 360 screenshots. Then join all the screenshots as a avi.

Thanks for the tip.
