Share your config - best visuals you have achieved.

[SeriTonin]

Me personally, I'm still looking, which is why I made this thread.

I have to admit, I bashed this game for it's lackluster visuals, but with the right visual tweaks, this game is nothing short of amazing, visually.

Seems imo, at least, the original game is too bland, the coloring just hurts it alot, I noticed with certain tweaks, the right lighting also improve's the look of the textures, as well.

So if you guys can do me a favor - do alot of us a favor who are searching for that perfect visual style, can you post a pic of what your game looks like, and with it, can you paste your config, or post a link if it's a downloadable mod, (such as natural mod)

I've read of some config caled " hp's visual config " but I can't find it anywhere, apparently, when it's put onto of the natural mod config, it does wonders..

I'm in the process of tweaking the work Pydon at Crymod has done with natural mod. I may possibly start from scratch but I'd like to borrow as much of his work as possible since I think he did a fantastic job.

What kind of things would you like to see in a visual style?

[SeriTonin]

darker greens, the colors seem quite bland, better distance viewing as well.

I agree that naturalmod was done quite well.

There's a few pics from g80, in the screenshot thread....ill find em and post what I mean.

[SeriTonin]

The 2nd pic posted by g80 here, even the first pic, spectacular lighting and beautifully enhanced colors. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...101997&page=20

I have what youre looking for. This cfg increases the drawdistance and quality of all kind of objects and vegetation. It also removes ugly sprites and trees even miles away are rendered in its fully quality. Shadows drawdistance are also increased and some other smaller tweaks.

This makes the game looks spectacular, be aware however it cost about 20 fps or more lol.

Here is a comparision picture that compares my uber drawdistance tweak with default veryhigh, the picture pretty much speaks for itself;


The difference is pretty big as you can see

Please note that this cfg is for xp users and includes all veryhigh settings and a few ultrahigh ones. POM is disabled for working AF and sharp and nice near distant and distant textures.

However this is only for those times you want to take screenshots or just torture your VGA card, nothing u play with. Id bet we need geforce 12 to run that at over 30 fps lol...

[brady]

Nice screenshots, but I think I'll be staying away from this one.

[Nanosuitguy]

Haha, like i said this is only for special purposes and screenshot taking. 3 fps with a 8800gtx, this is nothing for weak systems lol. He asked for the best visuals i have achieved and this is it. This cfg together with 16xQAA, 16x forced AF and real supersample vegetation AA in 2048x1536 resolution is the best visuals i have achieved in crysis, alto i have less than 1 fps during this it looks pretty freaking amazing.

[m3dude]

my config is as follows, gives me a good iq v performance ratio. personally i like the default lighting and colors tho. i start with all high settings btw.

I just installed that - it's the best thing I can find...I get 18fps avg, so its not horrible (one mod i tried avg 6fps!!!)

Funny you found it right when I did.

Seems a few issues are being looked into, to improve fps a bit more.


Here's the pic im talking about...what im trying to get:

And thanks for your help. =)
