Skysaberer Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm having some difficulty achieving optimum image quality when running and rendering from JKA. No matter what I do, the image quality seems to be a bit blurred with general game graphics and when I put on anti-alias and anisotropic filtering. I have experimented with in-game settings, the NVIDIA card settings, modifying NVIDIA card settings with NVIDIA Inspector and even investigated the Bios. No matter what though, I feel that my image quality is significantly below what it should be. http://s1299.photobucket.com/user/Skysaberer/media/shot0001_zpsbb92f1ca.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2http://s1299.photobucket.com/user/Skysaberer/media/shot1318_zps98a8c742.jpg.htmlhttp://s1299.photobucket.com/user/Skysaberer/media/shot0006_zps91ef68da.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1http://s1299.photobucket.com/user/Skysaberer/media/shot4267_zps906ab2be.jpg.htmlhttp://s1299.photobucket.com/user/Skysaberer/media/shot0011_zpsaa611573.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0http://s1299.photobucket.com/user/Skysaberer/media/shot0154_zpsba8141a5.jpg.html A 30-second 18MB video render is below. I used JKA video settings on max, no dynamic glow/lights (makes things more hazy), rendered at 120 fps on 1280 x 720 (no-scaling through GPU settings), exported screenshots as 120fps AVI with lagarith lossless codec, rendered from Adobe Premiere CS5 as 1280 x 720 60fps uncompressed AVI, and encoded with FFMPEG at 5000 bitrate HQ: http://www.gamefront.com/files/23242361/TestRender5000bitHQ.mp4 Computer details: Intel i7 3770 kAsus S1155 ATX P8Z77-V-PRO motherboardSamsung 256GB 840 Pro SSD2x Western Digital 2TB HDAsus 470GTX OC 2GB22' Benq E2420HD monitorWindows 7 Professional 64 bitAll drivers are up-to-date. JKA worked fine from the get-go. Solid 90 fps, can play any mod, no issues. NVIDIA Card settings when rendering:Ambient Occlusion -- OffAnisotropic filtering -- 16xAntialiasing FXAA - OffAntialiasing Gamma Correction - OnAntialiasing Mode - Override any application settingAntialiasing Setting - 4xAntialiasing Transparency - MultisampleCUDA - GPUs - AllMaximum pre-rendered frames - Use the 3D application settingMulti-display/mixed-GPU acceleration - Single display performance modePower management mode - AdaptiveTexture filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization - OffTexture filtering - Negative LOD bias - ClampTexture filtering - Quality - High QualityTexture filtering - Trilinear optimization - OnThreaded optimization - OffTriple Buffering - OffVertical Sync - Use the 3d application setting I've tried practically every possible variable of the above with no improvement. So if you've read this far, I have two questions: 1. What can I do to improve my image quality on JKA? 2. Is the image quality of my video render any good? If so, should I just go ahead and render my clips? Would really appreciate any help as I'm a bit clueless at the moment. Link to comment

New screenshots with those settings: http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag73/Skysaberer/shot0695_zps13669aa2.jpghttp://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag73/Skysaberer/shot2893_zps973b9fbe.jpg I think that Photobucket might be compressing the screenshost a bit though as when I open them up in Photoshop, they look much more crisp. From the video render earlier, do you think the image quality is alright or should I continue troubleshooting? Link to comment
eezstreet Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Photobucket is known to compress screenshots. Might I recommend Dropbox?Anyway, screenshots appear fine to me. Call me crazy. Link to comment
Unifermius Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Judging from the screenshots, it looks normal to me. Link to comment
Szico VII Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 why use r_subdivisions 4 when you can use 2 or 1 Link to comment
Didz Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Also increase r_lodCurveError from 250 to 1000. This makes curves/patches look better from a distance. Szico VII likes this Link to comment
