Having spent no small amount of time trying to replicate some of these shots, this is so true. I keep hoping one of the greats will come up with a guide or something on how to achieve the best possible graphic fidelity, in a truly consistent manner, across the overwhelming majority of locations/lighting conditions.

Hmmm.... The shadows did do that in the original shots. JPEG strikes again?? Is there any way to change what the picture capture format is in Space Engine?

The Bullshot screenshot thread is where the majority will be running 2fps. The screen I just posted was running at 50fps.
8xSGSSAA + SSAO
You seem to have an odd blurr on everything.
When you enabled SGSSAA did you change the LOD Bias at all?

The bullshot thread has all but been abandoned now.

Yeah I highly doubt all these 4K or greater renders are running at more than unstable 30 if they have something like a Titan or 290x.

I wanted to repost this from last years thread because it's my most favorite screenshot i took so far
Well that depends on what sort of optimization the game got and /or how old the game is .
Takee my 660 for example :
For a game like say DMC (4) i can crank both games up to 1800p and still get 60 FPS most of the time . same with The half life series .
However if i where to set that res with Metro LL or any recent game ,my frames drop to the sub 10 level .
I really need a 780 ti in my life

660 bro's, yea boi.
A 570 performs similarly to a 660 can I be a bro too?
You'd be better off using fraps (can change format much easier).
However, if you do want to use the in-game screenshot function:
<your game directory>\config
Open main.cfg and look for // screenshots and other settings and change ''jpg'' to whatever to want. You can also mess with other screenshot settings there (such as jpg compression).

Nothing special, just more Skyrim.
The FXAA unfortunately makes it blurry. The game didn't wanna run in this "mode" if I didn't have it enabled though. But I'll see what I can do to fix it.

Really wish KOFXIII had proper 120fps 120hz support. I am actually OK with the art just scaling from 720p.
I think it has 120hz support, but still limits everything to 60fps.

Is it just me or is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance blurry at 1080p and even 1440p?
Not just you. The game was meant to be played on consoles at 720p on "last-gen" consoles. The assets just aren't there. But I don't think it's a game meant to have a spec of technical merit and is just a hack and slash fun-fest.
I love Space Engine, but the controls always turn me off.
I thought that at first too but then I sort of got used to them. You could always change the key bindings. Besides, I only use SE when I want to look at some pretty planets and stuff. It's hardly something to play for its gameplay.
It is . but i can definitely say that what this game lacks in asset's or graphical prowess it makes more than up for it it in the gameplay department .

I enjoy this thread and all but... what's with people posting screenshots of... blank monochrome walls? Why would you purposefully pick the most boring screenshot possible? :S
Ehhh I think I'd prefer the fantasy hair over those bumps on his head... xD

Would somebody mind making a 2014 version of the bullshot thread. I loved looking at that one when I lurked, and I'd like to try contributing some time to it, but I would think a 2014 version would be more appropriate.

I don't think we need one. Especially with all the 4K - 8K shots being posted here anyway. Besides, nobody was posting in that thread for months on end. This post pretty much explains why.

You should turn off the HUD. Makes the shots look a million times better.

4K is easy. I get at least like 30-40 on most newer games, and easily get 60 on most games. At 6K I still get well over 60 fps in DMC, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6. 10K-16K is the new white whale.
Yeah, ain't nobody got time for capping fps at 60. I need a fix!
I kind of agree.
Amazing shot.
EDIT: although if I could give some advice, turn down the star count and brightness a bit. It makes the shots look more atmospheric.
Slightly off topic, but you'd be surprised at how well you can get even the most demanding games running at 4K. You'll have to take a downgrade in settings - but on my single GTX 780, I can average 30 - 40 FPS on Crysis 3, all 'high' settings, FXAA (whatever that's worth at this resolution downsampling to 1080p).
I don't actually play like that, but I was just curious to see where I could hit 'playable' framerates. I believe the main limit is memory bandwidth on these top end GPUs and if that is the case, then it sort of makes me excited for Volta - 1TB/s bandwidth (vs 280GB/s on a 780).

UI absolutely decimates the picture but damn, if the vista isn't one of the best i've seen in a game.
