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. Procedurally Generated Maps! Welcome to the newest contest in our Community Crunch, PGMs! Players will be able to show off their creations for a chance to win a 100$ Steam Gift card or $50 cash for runners up, plus get their map featured in the next set of Official Extinction server maps!

Wolf Angelus Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I hope there are lots of other Egypt / Arabian style enthusiasts out there as much as me. The village is a real replication and I just love the look, feel, and atmosphere it gives off. I haven't really used torches in a while and this was perfect for setting the theme, I made sure to use plenty for some of the coolest lighting ever :3 ARKitect: Traveling all the way through the desert on Camel....

UniteTheClans Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi ark geeks! I've posted a few of my house building tutorials here over the last several months and they always get a great reaction from this community, so I have another to share. Consider this an entry for ArkVideo! I have a Build Guide series on the go where I take my viewers through a simple house build step by step, and it was all inspired by the success of my Snowy River Cabin. Since then I got a heck of a lot better at building and putting tutorials like this together, so I brought the original design back to life with a new version. This is Snowy River Cabin Redux, built on the frosty waters of the Island map's winter biome river, made from wood and stone! I hope you enjoy the design -UTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of the most interesting parts. hearing about future options and new additions to ARK. I know in the most recent one you did but will it be likely to see more even past release?

PommieGamer Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 My submission for this weeks #ARKitect award PommieGamer's Jousting Arena. In celebration of the v254 patch, I decided to build my very own Jousting Arena in the style of a Colosseum. This build took 6 days to complete, and was completed without the aid of spawning in any items or resources (I never want to grind that much stone ever again ). The Colosseum features a royal box for VIP guests to spectate the events. The arena also doubles as a PVP battle arena when jousting events aren't taking place, and the balconies at either end of the arena provide an area for the two battling players to stand while whistling their dinos to attack. Three tiers of seating is provided for anyone who wishes to watch the events. Gallery of Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kogadins Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 @Jat I have no entry for myself but I want to suggest the creation and work of someone else: You guys should consider to honor 'bletch' - the developer of ARK Server Manager and the project itself for his ongoing effort to develop a tool that thousands of servers are using and that is a very great addition for the community and the game. I'm beta tester for ASM and I always see the passion that 'bletch' is spending into it to keep it up to date and to support the people that are having issues with their own servers. He really deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
