Administrator Jatheish Posted February 15, 2017 Administrator Share Posted February 15, 2017 Hello Survivors! Each week we run community contests for all players (all platforms included where possible) where you can win lots of cash prizes! Below are the different type of contests that take place. Try your hand and share some of your creations with us today! ARK NVIDIA Ansel Photography Contest! [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 and each runner up will receive $50. 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.

Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category! When entering the contest please name your entries and make sure that they include: Name Image Title Category An example would be Wildcard Jat - Evolution Event - Super Resolution 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: 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!

Please include the following in your entry post: Map Name: Media (Videos, Screenshots, etc): PGM Settings: Media content of your procedurally generated map can include videos, screenshots, and live stream vods - anything you want in which we'll be able to visually see how your map looks.

UniteTheClans Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I manage to complete one of these Build Guides every two or three weeks, and I'm always ecstatic to share them here in the Crunch. The feedback I get from this community is always helpful, and I get better with each tutorial! Special thanks to Wildcard Chris for sharing Log Cabin II this week! Your tweet and the rush of new folks inspired me to do a follow up to one of my earliest build guides. I am not going up against Arahli's Arkitect entry--bravo man! So here is my entry for Ark video, Redwoods Cabin II. Hope you enjoy. -UTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
