2016 PC Screenshot Thread of No Compromises
- Thread starter Stallion Free
- Start date
Reshade has some paint shaders which try to do this effect but they don't come close to some of the pictures in that thread, and they already eat tremendous performance if you use higher values. Not sure whether the effects from e.g. simplify is doable today, takes a lot of passes I think.
I took 2, with the Paint shader from JPulowski, the second is combined with the cartoon shader from sweetfx. It's the most detail I can squeeze out of it before things go 'Van Gogh' style.

Nice! I'd just started playing this game and while I really like the graphic style the gameplay isn't my favorite. The "adult" humor also seems out of place and borders on downright offensive (and I'm no prude).

There's something oddly appealing about Quake running at modern resolutions with texture filtering turned off.
Edit: Moving the 3rd to it's own post. Sorry about that.

Sorry about the image save message on the top of this one ;___;
This might offend some people, but I find these old FPSs really charming.

Heh it's almost like looking at it through a nostalgia filter
Only going to post one image. It's 18MB. Enjoy 
Took 32 screenshots of Witcher 3 running at 6880x2880. Total size is like 700MB
Album if anyones interested

I think it's how abstract everything is, and the textures are pretty much pixel art. It makes it fun to look at even though technically it's all really basic.
I wasn't really into PC games back when Quake came out, so this has been my first time playing through it, and I've really enjoyed it. It's really basic, but it nails its game mechanics pretty well.

I agree with you on this. The graphic style, and character design, was interesting but the gameplay didn't really appeal to me either. It started out OK but quickly became repetitive and confusing.
On another note I did make up a table and guide to add to the screenshooting tools already available.

Thanks for that! I'd love to lose the HUD and take some screen shots. I currently playing it in 4x DSR (3620x1527) and it's still a rock solid 60fps.

I'm pretty certain that the engine have trilinear MIP filtering turned on in those screenshots 8p

It's probably just my nostalgia goggles but in my mind, Quake still looks like this
I'd like to see what enemies look like with those mods
Quake 1 - episode 5 from Machinegames + mods

Well, technically yes, it is doing nearest neighbor on the textures themselves and 16x af to avoid the look of crappy mipmaps. However my goal was to make it look as close as I could to the original unfiltered software renderer, which I think it does get pretty close to, just with the added benefit of higher resolutions.
Will do! As I play through I'll grab some more shots if anything catches my eye.

The original s/w renderer had s/w based mipmapping and no AF so even on very high resolutions (which were like 1600x1200 back in the days of its release; and the game was hardly playable in anything above 640x480 even on top end CPUs) the textures were never that clean in the distance.

Hmmm, didn't know that. I guess I never ran s/w at high enough resolution to notice the mipmap transitions. I guess I'll change my explanation to be that I'm going for the spirit of the s/w renderer... just with much higher image quality.

EDIT: Oh. For a second I thought you were saying you did a 32shot pano or something. I don't particularly see the point in uploading the 6880x2880 shots here but... ok.

Can't you work it out?
5 episode from machinegames is very good. try it with or without mods. Is 2,3 hours long and relative challenging
yes Revitalization Project

Because this is the screenshot thread of no compromises
Just my $0.02, but I think, in this case, the compromise would be to not downsample to the typical ultrawide monitor resolution (3440x1440) which would result in better IQ.
You could also squeeze in more than 1 image that way as well
I'd say that to anyone who couldn't recognize a Witcher 3 screenshot by now but that's besides the point. It's a rule for a reason. No need to be a jackass about it.
low polybut with these textures fits with mods
Maybe a wee bit too detailed on those
Quake was the first game I ever played on PC. I think at 640x480. Is it actually worth replaying with mods these days?
