Warning: Before doing this, make sure your machine can handle Ultra graphics at a reasonable FPS and that you have ample memory on your computer (4GB or more), and a fairly good graphics card with atleast 1GB of memory; this could crash your WoW client or even your computer if you don't follow this warning.
First set all your graphics to Ultra and Multisampling to as high as it will go, create two macros GFX1 & GFX2
GFX1 Code:
/console overridefarclip 1
/console farclip 2100
/console horizonfarclip 7000
/console groundEffectFade 1277
/console groundEffectDist 500
/console groundEffectDensity 256
GFX2 Code:
/console detailDoodadAlpha 100
/console smallcull 0
/console gxDepthBits 32
/console characterAmbient 0
/console SkyCloudLOD 0
/console SpellEffectLevel 100
/console screenshotFormat TGA
/console screenshotQuality 10
Go to the area you'd like to "photograph", Run the two macros.
Then run the
Wow Machinima Tool under the C-Environment tab:
1. Fog Density to 0
2. Fog Nearclip to 0
3. Fog Farclip can be messed with, but not necessary.
3. Set View Distance to 2100 or greater (the higher the number the farther, but the more memory you use and you could crash your WoW client if you don't have enough memory.)
Create another macro called Pan.
Pan Code:
/run FlipCameraYaw(45) Screenshot()
Press Alt+Z to get rid of your GUI,
Press the Home key on your keyboard to line up perfectly and zoom in completely, press the key you binded "Pan" to 8 times, wait for Screen Captured to disappear before pressing it each time. I usually like to take 16 shots, not just 8, I will raise the camera angle up about a half screen height and take the 8 additional shots.
Also:
use
/console screenshotFormat TGA
/console screenshotQuality 10
In Photoshop CS4 you can use the Photomerge tool, or any freely available panoramic "stitch" sofware.
