I fully support accurate weather and temperature reports (interior and exterior) with the posting of screenshots. Ambient temps being very important for objective CPU/GPU temp analysis vs their target OCs. 7 day forecast encouraged.

I always wondered, are title headers searchable in-thread? They certainly look nice.I'm just faffing about, didn't mean anyone in particular but rather thread in general. I think the 2012-thread worked great, most people adhered to the rules and if anyone ever needed to know anything about someone's particular setup people were always willing to comply and help each other out. If I could chose I'd have people post extraneous settings/tweaks in the title-header, like if you're using external AA or other clandestine tweaks.
And thanks!
Yeap, just checked for the word "humidity" and my username and my post showed up in search so I reckon it works.

Oh Unreal Engine how I hate you.
Why? It's a very optimized engine from what I see, and it does what it does. Depending on the artist(s) it can be better or worse.

Well since it's an older iteration...that shitty ass blur they use in the background plus the hacky bloom!

Welcome, and Great shots!
Have some Rift in return!
Why is 16xAF not just always on in your drivers. That's crazy.

Well, I basically just use these:
Code:
/*-----------------------------------------------------------.
/ Cineon DPX settings /
'-----------------------------------------------------------*/
#define Red 15.0 //[1.0 to 15.0]
#define Green 15.0 //[1.0 to 15.0]
#define Blue 15.0 //[1.0 to 15.0]
#define ColorGamma 0.75 //[0.1 to 2.5] Adjusts the colorfulness of the effect in a manner similar to Vibrance. 1.0 is neutral.
#define DPXSaturation 1.25 //[0.0 to 8.0] Adjust saturation of the effect. 1.0 is neutral.
#define RedC 0.32 //[0.6 to 0.2]
#define GreenC 0.32 //[0.6 to 0.2]
#define BlueC 0.32 //[0.6 to 0.2]
#define Blend 0.33 //[0.0 to 0.1] How strong the effect should be.
/*-----------------------------------------------------------.
/ Lift Gamma Gain settings /
'-----------------------------------------------------------*/
#define RGB_Lift float3(1.025, 1.025, 1.000) //[0.000 to 2.000] Adjust shadows for Red, Green and Blue
#define RGB_Gamma float3(1.025, 1.025, 0.975) //[0.000 to 2.000] Adjust midtones for Red, Green and Blue
#define RGB_Gain float3(1.025, 1.025, 0.975) //[0.000 to 2.000] Adjust highlights for Red, Green and BlueEnjoy.
Thanks!
Yeah, I was experimenting with a bunch of AO bits for GW2. As it turns out, most of them work, provided you turn off water reflections completely and stay on native sampling (through the in-game drop-down menu, that is - you can still downsample from higher resolutions and it'll work just fine).
I actually prefer Zyrusticae`s blurry TERA shots over this:

Zyrusticae, how did you make it blurry?[/QUOTE]
Combination of 4x SGSSAA and SMAA at ultra settings.
Naturally, this doesn't work if you downsample.
Some more shots:

Really loved this game. I'm glad that the last steam sale gave more people the chance to play it. Truly an amazing game.

Well damn didn't check this thread since I last posted and now I see Zyru posted his settings. I went ahead and tried to recreate his settings to varying degrees of success. Forgot I turned lumasharpening (was experimenting with color and this weird thing luma does to it) on so the quality has been dragged down quite a bit 
fuck mang.
fuck mang.

The last shot is an older iteration of my sweetfx settings. This was before I dealt with the whites blowout (I used the tents as reference) I just love the shot and didn't recreate it once I got the whites under better control.

Not sure what exactly happened here with the building refletions, and i'm sorta lazy to go and check if that's intentional.

that's a really cool shot, but whats with the grain look on both pictures? Is that some weird thing on your end or is that built in the game? I totally don't remember.
also this thread got super weird since I last posted.
Why would we ever not be allowed to downsample?
Dictator93

Of course you can downsample. what what now?
Dio Brando

I think that's just the game. I thought it could be because of the bicubic automatic, that sharpened it, but the original image has it too.
I should rephrase that. Resize images down from extreme resolutions in an image editor.

The game actually runs at a flat 30 with these settings. Completely tempting given the game's incredible motionblur.
But nah. Ill settle for 1080p.
Also I just realised taht renderquality 2.0 is actually more like 4XSSAA

I always use bicubic Sharpen (for shrinking).
I assume it's the same though, and I never see graininess from it, so I blame the game.
Well if you are rendering at 3200x1800 and downsampling to 1920x1200, your screenshots come out at 3200x1800 so of course you are going to resize them...?

In this sort of thread, I'd say they're not alike at all. Just to clarify, I'm all for bicubic smoother, I think bicubic sharper's end result is disingenuous. May as well be posting up tileshots at that point.

Now tileshots is something I've got very little experience with but aren't they essentially unlimited AA while freezing the render momentarily? like rendering out something back in the Crysis 1 days with the tileshot method?
Oh, you mean like what people have done before without anyone pissing and moaning?
Spazznid

Exactly!
Seriously, all this fuss...
If a shot is impractical, you say, "oooh wow", and move on.
Can we please add something to the OP? Something to stop all the crap arguing?
Like, "BULLSHOTS ALLOWED"?

dude, for the last time I'm not against people posting em, as long as...
if you do post one just be as honest as everyone else is with res/aa/enb details. doesnt hurt anybody to type it, bromango.

I think I finally settled on my SweetFX settings. Probably will be my last batch of Tera for a while, hell might be done with the game for a while.
D'AWWWWWWWW!
Telltale did a better job of making me want to protect her than Eidos will ever do with Tomb Raider

On a serious note, I cannot, I mean CAN NOT wait to be floored by Next Gen Valve. Their visual style is one of a kind, as is their timelessness. One can't say enough.
lol I buy the games to make dem purdy.
Dead End Thrills' Mod list
Skyrim Total Enhancement Project or STEP is a huge list of mods that make skyrim better looking and/or more optimized.
Also watch Skyrim Nexus.

Stunning shots! I absolutely love the color, and if I didn't have such a hard time liking SweetFX, I'd ask for yours... I really can't seem to make it work... Also no Downscaling, no way. Sad to see you stop posting these just when you get some great color, though.
omg post settings pl0x
Really? :/
Don't stress about the HUD stuff, that sort of thing in general for screens I don't think people really care about. I know I don't! But... is SBK Generations any good? I think I read somewhere that it was on sale... and you play with a pad or wheel?
apologies about the HUD element, didn't want to PS it out but I couldn't find a way to get rid of it.

For sure, my good mang.
Super high Resolution... Check
Unnecesarily high Antialiasing... Check
Nohud Command... Check
Press Z to get close to dem Graffx... Check
Also, I'm sure that TV is HD, so no worries about Quality.
I don't think he's playing at that resolution, but Upscaling to it. It looks an awful lot like Native Res.
Question is, does he know this?
You all would let me know if I ever posted anything at such a res, right?
