Eaten alive

<div></div>Was fighting one of those rumbler type things in Commonlands other day, and took a few screens as I seemed to be stood in the right spot to dissappear into its jaws every time it attacked. I liked this one though because of the way he's cowering lol, I tried to think of a witty caption but hey.<img src="http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/5595/eatenjt2.jpg">

With a picture like that who needs a caption? This is one of the best I have seen in a long time.<div></div>

<P>Very nice.  It's nice when your positioned just right and the mobs do what they were designed to do. lol</P> <P>Did you blur this picture or edit it somehow?  The graphics look really nice....too nice. :smileyindifferent:</P><p>Message Edited by Irras on <span class=date_text>01-29-2007</span> <span class=time_text>08:56 AM</span>

LOL great job on the shot<div></div>

<div></div>Cool, thanks, glad you like it. It made me laugh when I was playing which is why I took the shot. Irras, it has been lightened slightly as the original was quite dark, but I run on a pretty high end Quad SLI system so the graphics do turn out pretty good! :-p

A very nice screenshot.I jsut asked in another thread whether the blur was in-game or had been achieved through other means ... there are a number of things that can give that effect ... the msot common being simply when you compress a large image down to a smaller size using a filtering like bicubic ... it inherently adds a blur ...But others ... if anti-aliasing were enabled with bloom effect ...Or if you turn down the graphic and lighting resolution a tad to something like .900 in Performance options and keep all textures on High or better ...Or.  You jsut have a very nice setup.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

<div></div>Hi, I played with the contrast on this which can sometimes "soften" it, there is a setting somehwere alongside the many others on the nvidia panel that really blurs things in the distance and they kind of sharpen when u get nearer - it looks really nice.
