what do you recommend to host the images on; I have a few I want to post but photobucket doesn't allow even close to 1080p images.

Limits: 1 Screenshot per post, 5 pictures maximum per page ( 50 post/page ) and NO consecutive posts. In other words cherry pick your shots AND game carefully and wait until others have had their turn. This is not the thread where you quickly dump your picture folder and the second someone posts, you are ready with a new one. Just settle down, find that magical screenshot and then share it with the people. And please don't just post pictures from a single game, try to change it up, which leads us to...

That one.

Thought I did what did I miss?

You broke like all the rules!

No but for real, 1 shot per post, and you should render at extreme resolutions so there's no aliasing. Also theres an emulator ban specifically because of low res textures so I'd say minecraft is a bit dicey, but it's not specifically banned so you're probably okay.

Thanks for the advice I will adjust accordingly.

also i would like to ask for an opinion.

Should the mouth be changed?



Bloom overkill ?

1. Assuming the face is your artwork, some constructive criticism.
I. The forehead is not large enough and the hair is colliding with where the forehead should be. Slightly raise the hair line, increase the size of the forehead, elongate it and round it out very slightly.
II.The eyes are too far apart in general the center of the eyes should line up with the edge of the lips
III. The face juts out too far from the neckline
IV. The entire head is slightly too small considering the frame
V. Everything else proportion wise looks good, including the mouth. I especially love the hair and eyes.
(Side note these adjustments should be only slight as it's fairly spot on.)
2. I believe the bloom effect is supposed to be simulating how light reflects off of the environmental fog.

-edited for grammar and clarification.

oh man guys the amount of ignorance over at Reddit's r/gaming is killing me. Someone posted a "PC gaming in 4K" thread that made the front page so I posted some of my downsampled screenshots as well. Here's some of the replies : (

First this was the most upvoted comment in the whole thread:
"monitor doesn't do 4k....so these are useless to behold."

"Someone downvoted you, but you are correct. Unless you have a 4k monitor, then these are useless to look at."

"What a fucking retarded post. These images will only look as good as the resolution of the monitor you are viewing them on... So unless you have $10,000+ 4k monitor you aren't seeing anything new in theses images. How can people be so fucking stupid? Christ."

"Graphical quality is resolution independent. Please don't bring back this moronic fad."

"These posts always make me laugh. Since none of us have a 4k monitor what's the point? They're just screenshots of games at this point."

"This is pointless because none of us can see the resolution."




These were actual replies to my shots in the thread when I tried to explain downsampling:

"You're such a fucktard. Saying, "Here's some of my screenshots taken at 4K" implies that the images are 4K. I know what down-sampling is ass hat."

"Yep, major fucktard."

"You are as dumb as they come."

"You're saying 4K and I'm seeing 1080p. I want to see 4K, not just hear about it."


It wouldn't bother me as much but hundreds of people were voting for some of these comments and this happens everytime something downsampled is posted : (

Nothing will be as bad as the time someone uploaded a 4K downsampled Imgur gallery to Reddit and it got upvoted to like 3,000 points and #1.
My brain couldn't handle it.

YEP, THOSE 300KB JPEGs SURE LOOK SWELL!

Also, I went to look at the Reddit thread Darkdeus mentioned, it really is as bad as he says.
There are a few people who seem to obviously grasp the concept of downsampling, but it's the ignorance and idiocy that gets upvoted to the top.

aha this was a 4K downsampled Imgur gallery and it did get upvoted to #1 on r/gaming lol. It's definitely gotten as bad as youtube comments. Reddit used to be a decent place to have discussions but now you have to stick to small subreddits if you want to have any hope of that.

Probably the only Rage shot i will post here due to the horrible low resolution textures found in almost all the shots i've taken.This one seems to have the least
