Screenshots looks amazing and it because they did this..

Because we changed lots of shader stuff (increased bloom/hdr, increased contrast, reduced saturation, adjusted gamma/brightness, added light sepia touch etc.), the general look of the mod is slightly different from the original Oblivion.

Postwork on the screenshots only include a littlebit sharpening and some minor contrast fixes (and a jpg bug in screenshot 4, which leads to the problem that the bottom of the screenshot is grey). Fog effects, light beams and glows also appear iingame! They don't have been added in the postwork.

sure my machine could not handle it, that is alot of flora, plants, and objects once again in those screenshots..

Only thing of interest there for me is their godrays, vtastek would be pretty interested to see their code, I think. Their lighting is way overdone IMHO though, and that hides many of the ugly details from us.

It does look very pretty though, considering this is just Oblivion. I'd like to see a release, that's for sure, even if I couldn't play it.

Seems like a ~~commie~~ propaganda to me :rolleyes:

My, my, that is impressive.

Looks like someone beat Bethesda to making TES5.

I also see a big problem with LOD. It seems like most of their landscape is made of large rocks to produce the 'epic fantasy' effect...you will see these large piles of rocks popping up out of nowhere all the time unless you make them all VWD - which would kill the framerate even more. Can't see any NPCs or creatures either on the screenshots - will give another performance hit if they add some. It does look great though - for taking screenshots.

lol, I'd like to know what values they used for tweaking the "increased bloom/hdr, increased contrast, reduced saturation, adjusted gamma/brightness, added light sepia touch etc."

» Wed Apr 21, 2010 9:36 pm

Please can someone ask him to upload his setting "increased bloom/hdr, increased contrast, reduced saturation, adjusted gamma/brightness, added light sepia touch etc."

thanks

At the moment, we just showed the screens in several forums - a homepage will be uploaded just before the release. And the first release (or better - the release of the first episode) will be in a couple of months. I will upload some new screenshots in a few weeks, because i'm a littlebit out of time at the moment (will do my diploma next week). Besides that i'm currently working on another 3d scene, using the cryengine2.

If the final version looks like that, and they can get it to run at a decent FPS rate, nevermind their mod. I want their computer.

Yeah same here, Id like to build a pc that could run that.don't forget in the description they ention photoshop (the lighting and god rays...thats my guess, that they were just added to the screen shots)

May not be open world and I think the god rays were added with photoshop to the screen shots, "don't quote me on that though."

regardless of the fact that this was probably edited through photo shop, and done using some questionable object placement in the world editor, I really do love the lay out, it just shows what imagination mods can inspire

» Wed Apr 21, 2010 8:06 pm

The author said he did touch up some contrast and brightness in the photos but most of the visual effects were done through editing the vanilla shader packages (as he states in the first post.)

And the Godrays is just the vanilla lightbeams being used, or at least it appears that way.
