Crysis High Quality Screenshots (Stay out 56k's)

-HP- · June 16, 2008 at 8:47 PM

Warning, possible spoilers, stay out of this thread if you didn't played Crysis yet, or if you'r under a slow connection!

Working with CryEngine2 myself on a daily basis, always looking at the same assets, environments, etc, the magic of this game kind of faded away...

But some dude over at crymod has taken a bunch of amazingly high quality screenshots, perfect for use as a wallpaper or artwork, or purely viewing pleasure!

I loved this pics so much, I've decided to create a thread just to show case them!

It's amazing how ALL this is real time! All praise PC gaming!

Oh wow. What config settings did he use to get these I have to play the game again with it. I just showed these to my mate and he is sure they are not in game shots lol. 3dsm apaprently

Well, being very active in the Crysis community myself, and knowing the engine well, and how my config looks, I can bet he used my Ultra High Quality Config.

There is no way, this engine is really impressive ! Thanks you [HP] ! :wink:

that's sick.. uh mind blowing.

he used dual 9800 cards for sure

-HP- · June 16, 2008 at 9:37 PM

mmm, no, he used the "e_screenshot = 1" command!

Which, basically generates a high res pic of the current frame.

dux · June 16, 2008 at 9:38 PM

So does that mean it doesnt look that good in game, it just makes it look nicer in a screenshot?

-HP- · June 16, 2008 at 9:43 PM

Yes, and no...

What that command does, is grab every 512*512px portion of the current frame, render it with perfect AA and "glue" all the small portions toguether into a single high resolution image.

It does'nt mean it does'nt look like that, because it does, it just look a lot more clean in the screenshot because of the perfect AA.

It's like, if you take a picture with a good camera, and rescale the original 2048*2048 picture to 1024*1024, the result will be a much cleaner image.

He used standard config and custom TOD settings as you can read on crymod apparently. Also this game doesn't look like that when you play @1024 or 1280 it looks this awesome when you actually resize from 2560 to 1280.
