I actually like the idea of artistic screenshots better than just playable screen grabs, but could someone shed some light on how to use debug functions to get free cam access for screens etc. Even just a link or something to get started with would be great! Thanks!

Well, unfortunately, most games don't have such functions. Games from PC developers usually have (had) console commands or level editors that you can use to "fly" through the levels, eg Source Engine games, CryEngine games, idtech games. Two examples to get you started:

How to for Source Engine games: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/How_To_Take_Artistic_Screenshots
How to for BioShock: http://www.tweakguides.com/Bioshock_8.html (Read "Console Commands", the command you want is "Fly")

Angular, I'm assuming that is all from Crysis 2.. is that correct? I like the blurred screen, btw...

 

[angular graphics]

Yes

Are console games allowed?

Yes, but keep in mind you have to keep the rules of the OP (no HUD).

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

I don't understand why this thread isn't more popular than the high-res screenshot thread, which is fucking boring by comparison.

Nope. Just downsampled.

so whats the difference between here and high res screens - is it just downsampling and no visible huds?

i already do that most of the time in the screenshots thread, i might start posting in here

Well, I would personally like that the screens in this thread have some sort of aesthetic quality (e.g. Stallion Free's RE5 shots last page) and aren't not just everyday shots without HUDs. This is obviously not a requirement, it's just my personal preference.

Sounds like you're probably due for an Art upgrade. I'd say you need at least 4L of Art to get by these days as a bare minimum. Those artshots probably come from a rig with at least 8L of Art.

Also, from the OP:
"When it comes to downsampling, console commands and mods, this is a stigma-free zone."
"Many of the shots here will use debug functions and the like to adopt angles and compositions you wouldn't see in-game"
