This blew me away...

[racinjoe013]

I always knew that Sol\CSP and other mods made the game look better but I never realized how much until tonight. Was running a race at Brands Hatch when I got a little too aggressive in turn one and she started to come around on me. I actually saved it, but after the race I was watching the replay and this shot came up on the screen. I had to capture it because of how realistic it looked. This is a straight screen capture from the replay. I didn't alter it in any way. If I didn't know this was from a video game, I would swear it was a real life picture.

These lightcones look rly nice! I was also playing with the CSP motion blur yesterday, but i didn't found good settings on my own... it was just to blurry.

This is standard... some lightcones and blur could be nice. Later...

Go for 50% and leave the rest as is. Move the AC motion blur to zero. Check the fields in Extra FX/Motion Blur for optimization potential depending on your frame rate loss. I found that reducing the blur to 30-50 while increasing AC depth of field yields quite nice results.

The blur actually creates the cone to a certain extent with the second pass of the image...just don't overdo it

@stingray_SIX_TWO Could you please post 2 screenshots:

1x from your ExtraFX settings and 1x from your Nice Screenshots settings? Have you enabled accumulation blur in Nice Screenshots, too?

Do you use ExtraFX only for taking screenshots and have it disabled for interior cams?

Thank you.

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Nothing is turned off for interior cams.

Aston shots with accumulation, rest without it and samples used between 14 and 20. I switched between F8 and F12. Contrary to most statements F12 yields really nice results. With Motion Blur it is tricky to get the right shot without pausing. All the shots were taken without pausin the game.

Nothing overly dramatical about this one. I just thought it did a nice job of showing off how well the reflections react to the lighting on different parts of the car, especially the right side door and front left bumper.

these are some beautiful shots. This thread should just be the official screenshot thread haha

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

I reduced the blur further now as it is really hard to find a good balance, either it is too blurry or not enough. Inside the cabin it all works fine though.

I can recommend Le Mans with the Camtool cams and early sunrise with sand - pure bliss!

 

[racinjoe013]

I agree, the sand filter is quickly becoming my favorite. It gives this look of dirt and dust being thrown up by the cars while driving and watching replays.

 

[Greg Latty]

both Great screens. I do like the sand filter.

A little wet mod action at Spa...

 

[Greg Latty]

Thats beautiful.. Do you notice that the wet tracks have a way lower resolution that dry. Or is that just me?

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

That wet surface reflection looks amazing, much better than the usual mirror look.

Some Brands Hatch dusk action:

Honestly, I didn't notice that. This was the first time I got the wet mod to work properly so I was focused on the effect\look more than the resolution. I will have to take a closer look later today. I did notice that I have to lower some visual settings to keep a decent framerate with this mod.

I really need to start playing around with those screenshot settings. I have been using whatever CM defaults too, but your pictures are just so lifelike that I think it's time to fool around a bit.

Is that the URD BMW in the pictures? I am currently in love with the newer URD GTE mod cars. I think they are the best mod cars i've tried so far (only had the game for a month so my knowledge is limited). Their force feedback is better than stock Kunos FFB. And the AMR engine sound gives me chills when driving.

In the third pic, are you using a wet mod or is that some trick with the screenshot settings of CM. Really like that subtle reflective look in the track surface.

its the wet track version of Bathurst. It looks good in pics. but when driving I think it looks a little low res. All the wet tracks for that matter.

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Wow, there you go!!!

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Thanks to @el_mattpro and his epic tutorial on screenshots I was able to capture these albeit without his reshade effects which I'm still looking into.

If you guys are still on this, go to your assettocorsa/system/cfg folder and open 'camera_onboard_free.ini' and set 'SPHERICAL_COORDS=0' and if you haven't done so already activate Free Camera in Content Manager or by going to assetto_corsa.ini and set 'ALLOW_FREE_CAMERA=1'.

Now you can press F5 in game and use WASD, Up/Down Arrow and F & G keys to move the camera around the car and in combination with the Photoapp (the dev one not the replay option) arrive at shots like these.

If you've already used this please ignore me but I just found this today and cannot believe it .

 

[racinjoe013]

I for one was unaware of this so I thank you for posting it. I just did a test of it and it's awesome not only for screenshots but also for just watching replays. I didn't know I could basically have a custom camera view at all times while watching replays.
