If TR isn't compatible with SGSSAA, then it must have just been the 4x Multisampling that I was injecting, as well. Either way, the injected AA looked substantially better than the in-game FXAA considering that the in-game MSAA was unusable with TressFX enabled.

In the end, I got it to run at 60fps, with TressFX on, and a respectable level of AA, so I was more than happy.

Hey guys. First time posting here. When I save my images, they are uncompressed JPGs. If these don't fit the requirement, let me know and I'll start generating separate PNGs just for this thread. But FastStone creates such large PNGs... 7MB in some cases O_O

welcome aboard man, there are no daily limits here :O

still surprises me how popular gaf and this screenshot thread is, many people register to post their shots here. a lot of shots that originated here are posted around the web too.

And that's why native AO implementations are preferred

 

[Cuban Legend]

Understood, Stallion Free, sorry for the multi post...

How did you ever think 32 shots of the Skyrim, IN A ROW would be appealing? This is a serious question.

I would say more, but It's obvious something went wrong in your decision-making process, regardless of rules in place.

 

[Spazznid]

And that's why native AO implementations are preferred

Agreed.

I was lazy and didn't turn it off for those, but for close ups and areas without much fog, AO adds a lot, so I have to keep switching it on and off...

How are you getting HL2 to look like that?

 

[jim2point0]

I love mirrors.

It's actually FAKEFACTORY's Cinematic Mod.

I combine that with Sparse Grid Super Sampling Antialiasing at 4X, as well as High Quality Screen Space Ambient Occlusion.

Cinematic Mod is FAKEFACTORY's personal version of Half-Life 2. 90% of people hate it and him, and that brings me 12% more joy when posting CM shots. You can choose which elements of his mod you want on or off in the included configurator, including screen effects, music, weapons, and models.

This time without the Ambient Occlusion.

Holy fuck NFS...

My only memory of playing that game is it looking like shit at 1080p with practically no AA and at 40fps.

I actually enjoy it even though it lucks some features from previous NFS (mostly exterior modifications), my last NFS was Prostreet lol.At first i thought it was running Frostbite 2, turns out it's a modified Chameleon, nice

Maybe they've patched and fixed it by now, by the PC port of Most Wanted was abysmal at launch.

can you use that mod with just HL2 or do you have to have EP1 and EP2 :/ I've beat them so many times its a waste to buy them and never play it... those shots are amazing...plus I never knew their was an LE version without HD characters... Aylx is one of the most amazingly designed characters ever, one of the main reasons I never tried this mod before.
lol nm went to the site guess you do... hope the next steam sale isn't far off... must try this...

He's been including the ability to switch his models/features off for ages now. People really only ever see the supermodels, they never look at the options. I didn't know you needed all thress, but I guess he doesn't want to make separate packages for all three campaigns.

When you download it, be sure to have a lot of HDD space...

Also, what would happing of you installed it with only HL2 installed? If you only launched that game... He borrows game files from the relevant games, so It might be worth googling.

it's not really the lima alyx or anything to me. it's the fact that he can't compress any of his textures or more-so refuses to. the mod could be so much smaller with the same effect if he didn't use a 4096^2 texture for a soda can.

I suppose. I don't mind the Lima Alyx, I liked it more when he would use a different model every release, but Lima's ok. I just wish he'd spend more time in one area rather than trying to do all of them at once. Like maybe adding more varying types of Flora.

EDIT:: There's third party programs you can use to downsize batches of images, right? People were using it on the HD Texture mods for Skyrim.

Couple Skyrim screens and a question!

Has there ever been a discussion on GAF about the best method for downsampling screenshots? I've been using FastStone Image Viewer for a while (it's free), and resampling my 3840x2160 images with a lanczos2 filter. I see a lot of people also just use Photoshop bicubic sharper.

Wow.

I use Photoshop bicubic and bicubic sharper depending on the content.

Amazing shots. almost makes me want to reinstall Skyrim.
Answering the question: I mostly use Photoshop Bicubic sharper, but if the thread ends up thinking that it should be frowned upon, i see no problem using FastStone with Lanczos. Used it some times and liked the results.

Only problems I see about downsizing the textures are 1) there are a ton of them for HL2 and it's episodes and 2) I don't know if you could make it support .vtf files. And if you had to convert the .vtf files, it'd take forever.

Heh. I'm surprised that thread was posted here so recently. Duncan Harris (DeadEndThrills) has been doing this for years, and I figured he's pretty popular so anyone that follows his screenshots has probably tried to emulate his methods. Though I think he makes it sound harder than it really is to throw people off as much as possible. He's not so much the king of image quality anymore these days now that so many have caught on... but he still has such an amazing sense for composition.

Like others have said, it's downsampling. We're definitely not running around with 4K monitors. Those things are still tens of thousand of dollars. The idea is to run the game at a crazy high resolution, then resample it to your monitors native resolution every frame. Big hit on GPU, but gives you insanely good anti-aliasing. Brings out details you wouldn't know were there otherwise.

When you capture a screenshot, it's actaully saved at the resolution you're playing at (not downsampled), so you resample the screenshot in order to get it as close to what you see in-game as possible.

You can play it in whatever resolution you want to. Even 2440p or whatever. Of course, it'll only make it smaller.

I chose 1600x900 because 1920x1080 would make things too small to notice the items and so on.

I played through Torment last year at 1080p and it was kind of frustrating. In hindsight I should have dropped the res a bit, I may have been a bit overzealous.

Yup... with AA my fps drop way too much for my taste. So I just have FXAA enable. Those are in-game shots BTW so the way you see this shots is how I played it. Although in movement looks way much better.
