I like the way the cockpit is lit up from the PPCs

(Which makes me feel bad for not having more feedback for Lordreds shots)

You wound me Shar, you wound me.

Your shots are beautiful (and are the large bulk of my wallpaper cycle)- but since they are all zoomed in, I miss those neat (and easy to comment on) effects like the cockpit lighting up.

I'm looking into mixing Shader and Hardware AA's together using lower levels to see if I can find a tradeoff for visual quality vs image quality.

I just tested TXAA Shader AA combined with Hardware MSAA, I was kissing my 4gb frame buffer, 3927mb used and getting a ripe ~11fps Far too over the top, but I'll be damned it looked clean.

In native size (3264x2040) I cannot spot any model based aliasing, only texture based (which would require higher res textures to combat)

I will do some 1920x1200 testing with these settings, then look for 'lighter' AA loads.

The image, it be 5mb http://pumpgasracing...ted/TXwMSaa.jpg

15 tubes 4CERPPC and an AMS?

How much armor was cut from that I wonder

Edit: forgot this bit:
Most of what you do, is beyond my ability to comment on!
Biggest monitor I have access to is my own, with a max resolution of 1920x1080

here is the very same mech, shot at native 1920x1200, some ailaising, but not bad at all, quite manageable unlike the super high resolution, and way better then how I started off.

I don't think I ever really noticed the dome on top of the Warhawk before.

I've edited the user.cfg, but... I still dont know how to take decent screenshots. Hell I use fraps because I'm cheap and refuse to pay for a video/screenshot application.




Also lordred, I was wondering if you'd be able to help me spice up my "Home-made Heroes of Battletech" Thread with screenies, or anyone for that matter whos way better than me with screenshots.

Looking for Jenner pilots who are willing to use Jenners with a 245 engine or smaller (so you arent too quick to keep up with)

Willing yes.

Able... Well....

I just bought 2 more Jenner with that last Cbill sale - but I have not even looked at them beyond grabbing them.
Not enough Cbills for DHS - and I am not going to be on any time soon.

Best of luck though!

[Not Bob]

I got Jenners, and Engines around that size - I could help, just let me know when.

Also, a pretty picture:

Why don't you just ask them, to run bit SLOWER? Would be that, not much easier?

In theory yes, in practice?
Only until the fighting starts
It is far to easy to ramp your speed up in the firefight, and forget to drop it back down.

Funny.. looks like, I am really the only player, who use those "speed% buttons" in MWO..

PS. Is this, a "Laser Only" photoshooting?

Too far from the movement keys on my keyboard.
(I keep forgetting we even have them)
I have thought about rebinding the basic numbers to them - but they are what I am using for consumables.

That is TOTALLY getting added to my wallpaper cycle!

MSAA 8 samples, performance hit is kinda brutal though.

Ground Control to Major Tom...



HPG Manifold. He jumped from the platform on Atlas, passed through him, through the ground and ended in mechs heaven...

Music to go with the pic:

There are very few things as awe-inspiring as an Atlas on a death march.
