Question 1:
What is it, in these images, that the game dont have?

  • Higher intensity?
  • Glow?
  • Motion blur?
  • Bloom?
  • Color tone?

Question 2:
Is it possible to insert any of those features above into Wolf ET (and other games) with the nvidia controlpanel, or via some other program?

A combination, though there’s no apparent motion blur in those still shots. There’s also a distorted aspect ratio, but I assume you don’t want that. :wink:

ATI has something called Smartshaders that lets you add your own real time (not sure how much it hurts performance) post processing effects, but I don’t know if nVidia can do the same.

(Note that modifying the looks far beyond normal settings can (and should) get you kicked/banned if you play online. :slight_smile: )

Thanks for your reply.

Smartshader looked cool! Post processing effects is exactly what I am looking for! Man I wish I had a high end ATI card so I could download and play with the “SMARTSHADER Effects Competition Entries”. I dont know if they are any good, but it would be fun to try and see if I liked any of them.

My apparently offensive statement was referring to modifying the looks in general, I never said that a bit of bloom would count as “far beyond normal”. :roll: (In fact, if it was possible to make ET look like in Zaigon and publicly known how then it would be considered perfectly normal.)

Your good intentions won’t really matter if a server admin assumes that you are using a cheat that is able to present fake PB screenshots, which is the most logical explanation for screenshots like this if he is unaware of smartshaders. Worst case even pbbans.com will agree (they are very “generous” with bans), and you’ll find yourself banned from a lot of public servers.

(It’s even possible that pb screenshots will turn out completely black when using smartshaders, which would also get you banned if it happened all the time.)

Oh. I misunderstod you before then! :slight_smile: Wops.

download some movie cfg and execute it. Then download Rivatuner and go to the OpenGL Settings, set LOD bias to some negative value, put Intellisample at high quality activate antialiasing and transparency antialiasing.

with this i got graffics like this:

but my pc is shit so I got bad frame rates… as for the bloom thats impossible because ET’s engine doesn’t supports it.

ps: you will NOT get banned by having improved graffics…

The zaigon screen come from a program that the maker of zaigon coded with more ppl. The effect is called HDR BLOOM or Fake Hdr. U can check more screens at his ftp (http://myhannes.info/) or in RGB movie.
The mAx chapter 3 have nothing special. Its a vegas (<- edit program) effect called Magic Bullet. U just have to test / work with some settings.

Ati smartshader is not working with me since months. New drivers dont support smartshader (i tested ati tray tools too but dont works, dunno why)

ps: the hdr bloom program is “post process”. Not at capture.
