What settings are you using top to bottom for images this good?


All settings set to Very High w/FXAA

sys_maxfps=65
r_HDRGrainAmount=0.0
r_DepthOfField=0
r_TexAtlasSize=2048
r_TexMinAnisotropy=16
r_TexMaxAnisotropy=16
e_ShadowsMaxTexRes=2048
r_HDRVignetting=1
r_Sharpening=1
r_SSAO=1


With Nvidia Control Panel
Nvidia DSR @ 33% 2x factor over native 3840x2160 (8.3mp) resulting in a resolution of 5431x3055 (16.6mp)

(that's 16.6 mega pixels of detail vs 8.3, keep in mind that 1920x1080 is only 2mp)

I get 30-40fps while I play like this, and I look around in live matches for something that may look interesting to follow.


I take HUNDREDS of shots per match and I look through each and every one of them and find the one I like the most, perform a minor sharpening pass with GIMP 2, adjust the temperature of the picture, or some times even the white balance, which I have a good amount of options to use as I screen cap in 24-bit .BMP

Some times I add some vignette, in the King Crab I did.

I sample the image down to 3840x2160 @ 300dpi, upload, and share Posted Image

Hope that helps.

Do you take requests ? :P I'd love a few wallpapers of specific mechs.

Regardless, those are always awesome!

i would still be willing to participate if you want specific mechs, we can form up and take some nice multi-mech pictures if that sounds interesting.

Remember, I greatly appreciate any feedback, or any tips or advice on how I can improve the presentation of the screenshots. My goal is only to share the best.

It's just when I saw his first Zeus shot on the first page I immediately thought "my old beat up Orion would looks badass in a shot like this"

I wish there was a way to take control of the 3rd person drone when in the testing grounds. I could do it myself :P

You definitely need to update your first post with information how to make maximum quality images. I’ve spend some time searching information and playing with settings. Higher definition through Nvidia DSR and playing with additional options in Nvidia Control Panel are really working. Compressed images look very good. Unfortunately on 3840x2160 resolution my PC shows around 7-10 FPS. So I run only 2x resolution. With MSAA working its around 20-40 FPS, still not perfect. With anti-aliasing OFF its comfortable 50-60 FPS.
So I have what I have.
Some results of playing with different settings:

X2 native resolution, MSAA + tweaks in Nvidia Control Panel. Image compressed

X2 native resolution, anti-aliasing OFF + tweaks in Nvidia Control Panel. Image compressed

So far not so big difference. Will try to make some more.

Sad that I can't create such big resolution images as Lordred do. My PC can't handle so much beauty.

Much bigger size this time.
Tip for next time - don't forget to disable cockpit glass that spoils the view

That jpg compression is really killing you. You should really be using png except for where you can get away with jpg on an image-to-image basis.

I am looking for someone who can make some 4k-screenshots of my EXE(I) on Therma and Viridian Bog... I am also willing to gift some premium time for this ;)

Love the DoF, though that ramp that leads up into the Rifleman's torso is... Distracting? Kind of unclear where ramp ends and rifleman begins. If it where a bit softer, there'd be a clear delineation of depth.

Well, that's all I've got, I'm no photographer.

That's why I'm still learning, but I've really taken much more time to focus on using my real camera, over the game.

This is my complete batch from tonight that I've played with, some better then others, but it is all new stuff to play with for me.
