[SUPER RES VERSION]

This weekly screenshot competition asks players to take in-game photographs from either ARK: Survival Evolved or our new desert themed expansion pack ARK: Scorched Earth using NVIDIA Ansel, and meet the category requirements listed below.

Winners will be announced during ARK’s regular “Community Crunch” blog post. Each winner (3) will receive $100 each. Want to enter? ARK-Ansel screenshot entries should be e-mailed to anselcontest@studiowildcard.com

If you need a place to upload a file for the contest, make use of Wetransfer which will allow up to 2gb for free! :)

Three Categories

  • Super Resolution: These should be taken at 8x Super Resolution. Players can optionally use Depth of Field effects accessible in Spectator mode by pressing the [Delete] key.
  • Panoramic 360 Stereoscopic 3D: These should be taken at 4x Super Resolution,  in 360 Stereoscopic 3D mode. We will crop them to 2D for web display, while also providing the 3D version for viewing within VR display. Check out your 360 Stereo results on your HMD or on your Android Phone with NVIDIA VR Viewer 
  • Freeform: Any settings, whacky and creative use of Ansel filters are encouraged. Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category!

When entering the contest please include:

  • Image Title:
  • Category of Entry:
  • Name you wish to be titled as:

Ansel is a revolutionary new way to capture in-game shots.  Compose a shot from any position, adjust with post-process filters, capture HDR images in high fidelity formats, and share the screenshots in 360 via a smartphone, PC or VR headset. Learn more about these features in the Ansel Technology page and the NVIDIA blog.

How to run NVIDIA Ansel

First of all, you'll want to make sure you're running the latest Nvidia Geforce Drivers - so head over to http://www.geforce.com/ and get downloading!

Once setup and ready to go, right click ARK: Survival Evolved in your steam library and you'll see the option to Launch ARK with NVIDIA Ansel

Select this and head into a single player game, regardless of the map or the mod. Once you're in game, you can immediately press ALT + F2 to get into Ansel Photography mode and start taking snaps.

or you can type in the following command in the console:

cheat enablespectator

Once that is enabled, hit your DELETE key and it'll open the Depth of Field Options menu where you can play around with the games DOF.

Then hit ALT+F2 and take some awesome Ansel photography!

Here's a little tip from Jesse:

You can also type "enablespectator true" in the console to fly around before you take your shot, and hit the "Home" key to level your camera if you want to keep people from feeling sick on a 360 stereo VR screenshot. ;)

ARKitect!

This is an award given to Survivors to celebrate the amazing structures you build. These bases are judge based upon a number of different factors such as their creativity, uniqueness, how fun of a base it is, the difficulty of building it, the functionality it provides and much more! At the end of each week, the winners and runner ups will be featured in our #ARKitect section of the Community Crunch and will be awarded cash prizes! 

Note: We've had a lot of requests regarding the use of mods - go for it! We'd love to see how mods have influenced your bases

LAME WOLF'S SUBMISSIONS TO ARKVIDEO

ATTACK OF THE ACHATINA

With the newest patch including the intriguing Achatina, we decided to do a bit of a skit around it in anticipation. Take to your bunkers, the snails are coming!

 

 

RUNNING DRY

We all find ourselves in the desert. But what happens when you're near death and a Ben Kenobi style ghost appears?

I shared that view a few months ago but it just feels like empty words after something similar being said in early September that the prizes for the summer would be handled soon (I somehow predicted they weren't going to send anything Friday >.>). I have been waiting quite a bit longer so it is up to 4 months behind o: . Words are meaningless without the actions to back them up ultimately. I think after so long of a wait, doubt is only natural, especially combined with a similar statement in September as mentioned. So all the people who have asked about prizes that won within the last 1-1.5 months, some of us have been waiting double that time lol.

Just to give an idea of waiting times -
Crunch 55 - $200
Crunch 57 - $100
Crunch 60 - $200
Crunch 61 - $200
Crunch 62 - $200

It is somewhat relieving to know that they didn't send prizes on Friday after all, but at the same time ..........kinda troll to get peoples hopes up.

They never used to be this slow though for those who are new to these contests. They used to be delivered within 1 month in 2015 when Susan was doing them, and 2 months earlier this year, then not sure what happened o:
