Archive Thread of Screenshots of Ridunkulous Quality and Size [2007-2015]

Cheers man! So how do I apply those settings? Do I have to apply each one through the editor/console or can I just add them into a folder as a batch file?

Yes through editor, it really shouldn't take more than 10min for all singleplayer maps. Instructions in readme file aswell as descriptions and configs in 3 flavors.

Password is "crysis" without quotes lol

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0YG24YY9

Some autoexec customisation bits.

r_HDRLevel=0.8 ,,this controls the HDR intensity. 0.6 is the games default.
r_HDRBrightOffset=12 ,,This also controls HDR intesity and clamp, set to higher value for less HDR intensity especially when dark->bright areas (looking through door opening etc)

r_SSAO_darkening=3 ,,controls the SSAO darkness, might find a sweet spot depending on config.


General customisation tweaks.

r_contrast ,,contrast settings
r_brightness ,,brightness settings
r_gamma ,,gamma settings (best to leave it at default)

Prince of Persia

Right at the beginning but I felt like a screenshot already.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Ya ! Its a very beautiful game ! Chk my screenshots a few pages back !

 

[pjbliverpool]

A couple of new screens with Nebula's enhancements activated (plus I turned DOF on)....

EDIT: I lose 3-4fps when taking a FRAPS screenshot so add 3-4 onto those FRAPS scores.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

WOw ! The tweaks worked wonders !

How do you turn DOF on?

 

[Neb]

How do you turn DOF on?

You need these settings to be with following values. Of course the values with 0 can be changed to 1 to enable colorgrading filters aswell. It also depends on the level TODs DOF strength as to how pronounced it will be.

r_DepthOfField=2
q_Renderer=3

r_ColorGrading=1
r_ColorGradingDof=1
r_ColorGradingFilters=0
r_ColorGradingLevels=0
r_ColorGradingSelectiveColor=0

Here's some Oblivion shots:

Dresdon, masked

Dresdon, unmasked

Some examples of the bump mapping enabled by Qarl's:



For time's sake, this is all I can upload right now. I have quite a few to post, so expect more later.

Nice screens. I'm about to reinstall Oblivion again myself; it's just that there's so many mods to choose from that it's going to take me some time to sort through them all to find exactly what I want.

 

[Neb]

Yep nice. I actually installed it some time ago but the game had serious problems with Vista x64 + 4870. major HDD loading whenever I looked around and missing effects etc. Actually it seemed to run worse than on my previous 7900GT. To bad as I had it well tweaked and some crazy compilation of graphic mods and gameplay mods... 1.3GB VRAM usage?

Ahh still looks ace!

If oblivion looked so good with variety of texxtures, what happened to Fallout 3? I mean, somehow, its one repeated texture all over the place, with bland lighting and , even with all of these cutoffs, stupid wooden characters !

Far Cry ! of course was great for the time and still ! i remeber how unreal it looked with the lush island on my screen !

Wel ltextures where quite lowres but have excellent art. Good that NExus modding site has texture packs that greatly enhance lots of F3 textures with really highres ones 1024x1024-4096x4096. IMO the lighting is really good, the HDr has nice range and the TODs well configured regarding color etc. Granted I know the console versions have worse lighting.

[gloating]Taking my new HD4890 1GB for a ride aswell as my 8GB RAM and E8400 @ 3.6GHz!

4xAA + TSAA, 1440x900 vsync on and 16xAF and Rigel's texture pack and beyond very high settings. Fuuuuu...... I am really tempted to get another one! -_- [/gloating]

Battle images looks blurrier due to me getting hit by around 20 soldiers and tanks with all effects/post-process etc.

 

[Neb]

Yeah that is not vsync off but rather a shader effect from the game to simulate nanosuit mask failing!

Rigel's texture pack and beyond very high settings.

Speaking of that, I have a weird issue with Rigel's pack -- distant vegetation (tree's leafs) are quickly fading out of view, leaving a fields of bare stacks of branches. Am I doing something wrong, or just I'm not using the right texture pack?!

It is a problem with a texture in the pack (leaves_a.dds). It can be easily solved.


Open up z"zTexturesupdatepart1.pak" with WinRar. Then go to "Objects/natural/Bushes/RoundLeafBush" and delete "Leaves_a.dds" . Save as is (don't change compression strenght or anything else). That's it!

Some more pictures of the Prince:

Same config as above except I got motionblur set to high quality non object motionblur. Gives a nice boost as it seems to be a bit buggy in DX9 with AA enabled. Also got Rigels texture pack. Vanilla TODs.

Crysis Warhead plays very smooth* and I aint even got CrossFire system.. dayyyummm.

*Snow levels take some hit but the rest... butter even heavy scenes in train level, heck even fights. FFS I got 4xAA AND TSAA enabled and beyond very high settings!

Bring me next Crysis I am ready and boosted, heck without AA I get about 50% perfomance boost! @: )
