oh, and here's a visual example of JPG's quality limits:
high-quality JPG 745 KB
max-quality JPG 1,6 MB
full-quality PNG 2,4 MB

You didn't turn off chroma subsampling. When I do that:

http://mensa.ath.cx/~polzer/temp/irony4m2opera.jpg - 827kB 85% JPEG after turning off chroma subsampling.
http://mensa.ath.cx/~polzer/temp/irony4m2opera100.jpg - 1747kB 100% JPEG after turning off chroma subsampling (but difference checking still found minor differences)

BTW, I just committed an engine patch to turn off chroma subsampling. Now JPEG quality loss is MUCH smaller.

I've been trying and I think I've got a couple that look okay:





Here is the watermark I used:



Edit: reuploaded in .png format.

what's with the blur?

When a camera is focused on a certain element in a scene, things that are farther away become less focused, or blurred. Would you like to comment on the composition of the screenshots, at all?

The composition is shitty- everything that might be interesting is blurred. The first picture is decent.

It does help to keep a defined focal, which, in case you couldn't tell, is the mega armor and the shadow, respectively. When I asked for critique, I was under the impression that you had something worthwhile to say.

Um... the first one is nice... but I don't understand why you had to make up your own watermark. I created one to match the new website. I'm trying to go for uniformity here to attract new players.

[-z-] your script doesn't hide the speedo

Coool- where are my 3d glasses when I need them?

After the contest, I'll send you the .xcf files and you can do whatever branding you want, although the current watermark matches the mood of the images pretty well. Also, victim's is great.

WORD

I lost them the other day, when I needed them... And now I'll find them back and will have no use for it.... Pffff


Also, wtf with the blur? Can DP render blur? Or your graphics driver?

Most image manipulation programs have a Gaussian Blur filter, and Dave said post-processed screenshots are eligible to be posted. I have the original screenshots if they're needed for any reason.

Oh ok, it's post-processed

I didn't understand that...

I'll post the .xcf files for my screenshots if anyone would like to rebrand them.

how is the feature of the engine called that is able to depth blur ?

witchcraft!

thanks for the engine patch and for educating me.

and thanks Dave, for the awesome wallpapers!

I'd like to see some screenshots showing the HUD too; all the shots so far are third-person

Ok, that's enough non-action shots from me, I'll start looking through demos next.

Dave

WOW, your castle looks great (although I think it would look better without the weapon/shields), it is an excellent example of Nexuiz rendering.

I think your second shot is a bit dull, nice detail, but the composition is far to symetrical, however Felicia to the resue http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3266/229 ... 4b_b_d.jpg

A similar scene done with an ATI (AMD) 9550, running on Kubuntu 7.10 and a recent build of Nexuiz.


See http://www.flickr.com/photos/24015610@N04/ for even more shots from Darkzone Q1DM6 with some player models

Nexuiz 1.1

3 FPS? Damn it victim, you ruined that screenshot- you need to turn off FPS!

I Photoshopped out the FPS.

wahaha that's great

When you get so used to deluxemapping it's easy to forget what everything looked like before!

Man, and 1.1 still had non-particle explosions didn't it...

Wow, the RL looks like... Stuck on the ground.... IT'S A TILE

Keep up the good work!

I love the second one there, with the shadow cast on the wall. Very cool.

Here are some screenshots showing arahia from morphed

isn't that one of the old screenshots of the Nexuiz homepage?

Here is one more
