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: Quote 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!

Volunteer Moderator GP Posted November 16, 2016 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2016 Woot! I'll kick this off with the first entry. ARKVideo - PGM Battlegrounds (This isn't related to the PGM competition, as it's not worthy of that, so it's better suited in the ARKvideo category) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Angelus Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I have a brief question towards the Ansel contest for what is allowed - Are we allowed to make images of past ARKitect entries we have won with and still qualify for a chance at the prize or would that be unfair? I did build with visuals in mind so there are some great 360 images and Super Res images waiting to happen o: Oh, and are we allowed to use logos from other IP in the freeform? Example: the Pokemon logo on a Pokemon oriented image. Thanks. Update for ANSEL Users - the Nov 15th Nvidia driver fixed all the strange issues when using super res and now captures exactly what is on your screen! (For me anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KishK0 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I have a question regarding the prizes. I received $200 (ARKVideo winner) + $100 (ARKVideo honourable mention) on Monday, which are my winnings for Crunch 62 (correct me if I have messed up the prizes), does that mean that next week I will receive my winnings for 63 or was that just a coincidence? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys! Since I doubt they will give much answer if any. My observation over time has shown that they do a bunch at once. Definitely not weekly. Since you mentioned you got something for #62 already, it looks like there isn't even an exact pattern of order as I never got my payment for #62 unless a payment before it got skipped. Definitely don't expect these weekly as I waited 4 months then got 4/5 payments delivered within a few hours on Monday and then suddenly stopped as now nothing was sent for the last payment anymore. When more will be delivered is anyone's guess really, they definitely aren't close to being caught up based of other's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering because I saw something about them getting a new accountant and fixing a problem with Paypal recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeypuzzle Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hey Everybody! I'm resubmitting this entry for ARKitect, because I mistakenly submitted it during the Fear Evolved patch week when the judging was looking for Halloween content. I was told that was ok, but let me know otherwise. Here's a short showcase of the staged complex we made as a two person team on a private unmodded pve Scorched Earth server. It attempts to work with the aesthetic intentions of SE, in addition to functionally synergizing with regular gameplay. It features a large octagonal main base with courtyard and towers, castle-like aviaries, and a first stage builders' quarters that is also outside of the box. Of course grander things can built using admin commands and mods, but this is an example of what can be done without using those that will hopefully inspire others who are playing the game. Our gather rates are 5x. For folks who are interested in how we designed and built it, there are links in the cards to four other more in depth videos of the step by step process. I hope you enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
