Hey everyone. I'd like to know if it is possible to make some animated wallpaper based on Mass Effect 3's title screen. I currently have the static wallpaper, but I want it just like the title screen. Does anyone know how to do this?

Edit: If you downloaded the vid from Youtube without the logos, then proceed directly to step 4

Thanks

Edit: We have found several techniques to do this. Read on to find out. If you want to make one and need help, send me a PM

Here's my technique:

Edit: If you downloaded the vid from Youtube without the logos, then proceed directly to step 4

1) Get a recording program like FRAPS, HyperCam, etc.
2) Record a segment of the title screen (10-20 minutes)
3) Save your segment
4) Get the VLC media player
5) Import your video in VLC
6) Go to ''Preferences'' and select Video
7)Once in the Video tab, go to output, and select ''Direct X''
8) Save your settings and exit VLC
9) Reopen VLC
10) Reimport your video
11) On the top of the video, there should be a video tab. Go on it
12) In the video tab, there should now be an option to ''set as wallpaper'' (or something similar depending on your version). Select it
13) Minimize VLC (don't close) and enjoy!

There are two major inconviniences. Firstly, you need to open VLC and set it as wallpaper each time you start your computer (and keep it open for as long as you want it). Secondly, it eats up more CPU resources than you can imagine! I have a Core 2 Duo CPU at 3.16ghz from 2009, and it was at 90-95% capacity!

As for the logo and lettering: Apparently, there is a way to get rid of it. You need to use Texmod and get rid of it before you record. Since I have no idea how to do this, I left it as is. If you want to learn how to use Texmod for this, the internet is your best friend

Anyone?

1. Get a video from the main menu. Record it yourself or download it off youtube (using this for example)

Then there are 2 possibilities to my knowledge:
- VLC media player allows you to set every video as a desktop background when playing it. Downside is you have to start the program every time.
- Haven't tried this myself, but you can also download dreamscene and set the video as the background.

Thanks for the tip. I have both Fraps and VLC installed, so I'll give it a shot.

I suggest using TexMod to remove the any unwanted logos and lettering via alpha channel.

 I'm fairly new to this kind of stuff, but I'm trying both Dreamscene and VLC out now. 

Here are some cool moving backgrounds I found too-

I was looking for something like that (without the logo) too, if you realize something cool I'd be very glad if you'll let me use it. Thanks anyway!

Finally. After a couple of long hours, I got a decent result. I recorded a 20 minute segment of the main title screen and saved it in AVI. After that, I opened it in the VLC media player After a few adjustments, I was able to set it as my wallpaper. Not bad, pretty good quality, but I need to have the media player open when I want to play it. It also eats up as much CPU resources as Battlefield 3 (I was at 90-95% CPU usage).

Another option would be making a html page of the background image, and seperate animated gifs of the debris falling down. Next, add a javascript that randomly generates debris thingies to move in a topleft to bottomright direction and delete those again once they move off-screen. Use the whole html page as a background image for your computer. You could actually include some of your more important hyperlinks into the html as well.

All definitely possible, shouldn't take a noticable amount of resources these days (I used to have an animated MAX 2 logo "borrowed" from the Interplay website years ago on my Pentium 75, and javascripts actually suffered a lot of memoryleakage in those days!)

Word to the wise, using the Dreamscene program will mess up themes on Windows 7. Uninstalling it will fix it.

Also I have a request, can someone make an animated(or not) wallpaper of Firebase Goddess's main overview(in the spawn area)? I find myself gazing at it in-game because its just so awesome. =)

I would be kinda hard to do. You would have to film 30 second segments so that you have time to fight your enemy, find some way to get your character off the screen,and sending it would be kinda hard, since the segments would be gigabytes of data.

Not saying it's impossible, but much harder than the title screen

I tried using texmod, however I can't select the textures because if you press any key, it automatically exits the loading screen =/
So, if anyone knows how to disable that please let me know.

I think there are certain keys that are unaffected by this. Try random keys all over your keyboard. Maybe the plus sign on the right hand side. Or maybe you can change the keys you use to open origin (shift+f1) and use those?

Bump for those who haven't seen yet

[chris2365]

Sorry to bump such an old topic, but somebody found a way to remove the logos in the opening vid and has uploaded it on Youtube
