@Orion: beam reflections is the most tricky part there. Its not reflection of lightbulb itself but of the light, and more - reflection on tarmac would interfere with reflection on the curb making things even more complicated. Thus I assumed the angle of the curb makes reflections there invisible. And the look of it - for me its fine.
I got bored from black border - its the artist choice.

@bo-kristiansen: thats why this time no LFS logo there

I meant the beam reflections are too strong, but dunno
Or rather to linear, no falloff.

here is my taking a picture of a XRT and editing it
2 versions of it

^^ nice, i like the coloured version more. Would've been awesome if the car had AA on it though. Maybe for next time?

Anti-aliasing. Graphics option. Check your GFX control panel to turn it on as LFS doesn't have own option for it in the settings.

Read from that post down.

Antialiasing - set it on your card before printscreen.
@picture: you used zoom blur - it means you zoom during taking of picture.

omg i fuxored that one up

Except you are horribly wrong in that post. AA + AF doesn't make a game "blurry". Do you see pixels and blurry textures everywhere in real life?

By looking at your comparison screens, it looks like you have some serious problems with your drivers or AF isn't working for you. AF is supposed to make the textures sharp and crisp even in the further distance, it looks like you only have bi-linear filtering (no AF) in those comparison shots.

See my attachments, AA shot has 6x AA and 16x AF. See how crispy the road is even further away? That's AF magic.

made this a few minutes ago...its my first atempt at this reflexion type...lett me know what i did wrong .. and what u think 'bout it

the lower one is with x6 AA the left is the old one (the first i posted). i see a little diffrence but not very much.

sexy :bullwhip:

Matrixi, I'm not "horribly wrong" as you so boldy put it.

Fact is, that is what AA + AF is like on my computer with LFS. Perhaps my video card isn't rendering it properly, but what ever the problem may be, that is the end result. Hence the reason I personally don't like AA + AF.

I don't quite understand what you mean by blurry pixels and textures in real life i'm talkin bout the game, and AA + AF making the pixels and textures blurry on my computer. But i gather you were just making a funny

Your pictures look very nice. I would more then likely run AA + AF if mine turned out like that. What kind of video card do you have?

I just tried 4xAA + 16xAF. Still not as nice as yours, but not bad.
1280x1024 @ 32bit x 60hz. No half textures, LOD full everything, 24bit, not haze etc etc etc. Any option to make it pretty, is ticked.

I was referring to your "I leave my settings on "Application Controlled" the way they the graphics were designed to be" statement.

God forsaken twice broken down Radeon 9800 Pro.

That's very weird. It looks like the textures aren't being Anti-Aliased properly. The road looks like AA hasn't effected it. Too weird. Which graphics card do you have? Using latest drivers?


Sorry for offtopic.

Nice.
