It's pretty heavily modded, but I'm very careful when I install and manage them so I keep a detailed mods list. Link's here if you want to have a look: sendspace (dot) com/file/fyqo64

Thanks !
And you are right about them being screenshot worthy but there are also some very good animations during combat itself that you cannot take without the Hud .
I once Asked Durante about it and while he said it is possible to hide the hud and that he could make a tool for that , i guess he decided in the end not to bother with it .
2xSSAA? Are you using 2x2 downsampling? That's actually 4xSSAA
2xSSAA is actually somewhat fractional unless they are only increasing one axis over the other.
No You wont
Maybe in very distant future.---
There will be stations and cities where You will be interacting with NPCs and players. There will be also FPS combat on ships, planets and stations.
I just put the games res at 3200 x 1800p and enabled 2x SSAA ingame.

If everything was based on Crysis, we'd still technically be playing early 360 gen. Even Crysis sequels can't reach Crysis level forests. They set the bar too high, and broke their tendons on the way down. There's no going back.

Thanks. All the screenshots are taken in 6000x3000 + TiledShots with 32xAA.
Obviously, in this way its not playable at all.

Stunning image quality though. Makes it look like a different game, actually...not even a game, like a CG sequence. Great job

^^ Thanks. This game is an orgy of different styles and colors. Maybe its better than Rage afterall.

I really like your WTNO shots! What config tweaks and AA method are you using?

And yet still aliasing left... I hate IDT5 (Unless the Tiledshot filter is to blame. Or your own resizing. I wouldn't expect this much aliasing from 6kx3k+32xAA )

Disable Film Grain? in Left 4 Dead 2? The best film grain in any game?

Left 4 Dead completely loses part of it's charm without it. And I will never in my life play without it.
NEVAR. Nor will I ever disable it for a screenshot. Looks far too ordinary and bland.

Uh that film grain is terrible. Doesn't look anything like film and you can where the grains are stretching along a pattern.

I dont see aliasing in this shot, even in the others. even in those other. Maybe something is wrong with resize but the image quality overall is pretty good for me (I dont say so because it's mine). I could also use the tiledshot with 64x anti-aliasing but the processing of the image is really slow and takes too much time if you use more than 4k resolutions for ur screenshots.

Because it earns my contempt.

All of these edges are far too sharp and even seem to have some ringing. Which makes it look aliased to me.
With the size of the resolution you are using along with 32xAA (Which is from what I remember actually some kind of hybrid MSAA/SSAA. Doom 3 BFG's 16xAA is similar)
It shouldn't look like this. It's like somewhere along the line everything is being sharpened and over emphasized.
It's far more prevalent in a lot of other shots.
And like I said I don't know if it's because of the engine. Or the tiledshot filter, or whatever other resizing is occurring.
I would take the raw if you could and then resize it using Photoshop's Bicubic filter to see if it changes anything. Because i'm curious whether that's the issue here.

The pattern is barely visible in shots. And really only shows in the darkest areas. (The developers stated that it's adaptive and applies more to dark areas than light ones)
In motion it's invisible.
With downsampling and SGSSAA it really becomes even more filmic because it's less sharp.

Congratulations. I feel likewise about your opinion!
Clean rendering for a game like L4D2 does it a severe injustice. Especially to the artistic direction for which it was intended. It looks just fine in screenshots and even better in motion.
If anything it's simply overbearing because I usually play with 8xSGSSAA or 4xSGSSAA+Downsampling. Which smooths it a dramatic amount. So I have it up very very high to fix that issue when using those.

Honestly I think you're trying to split hairs in 4 pieces ^^
Despite some slight defect the overall quality is good enough for me. After It all comes down to personal taste.
**if u want try some test with bicubic you're welcome. I have deleted the raw considering that it was large than 80mb.

That's certainly true. But it looks awful to me. It shouldn't exist for such high resolution downsampling. Those areas are immediately apparent at a glance to my eyes.
The scene composition is great, and overall IQ is good. But the amount of ringing and aliasing left over creates a mediocre taste in my mouth.
Edit: I get that you would delete the raw though. I don't like keeping insanely massive screenshots either. I don't have the game myself. So I couldn't test on my own.
Next time you take some shots though would you mind sending me one before you delete it?
