Administrator Jatheish Posted August 5, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 5, 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 is 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! 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! Please note: Ansel submissions are limited to a total of 15 per person! 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 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! That's right, your map could be featured as an Official Server for a one month period! 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.

The PGM settings used to create the map can be found your game.ini - That's most likely in: Steam\steamapps\common\ARK\ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\Game.ini or \Saved\Config\Windows or WindowsServer or LinuxServer etc)\Game.ini [/Script/ShooterGame.ShooterGameMode] PGMapName= ...

Wolf Angelus Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Crunch 100 triple digits now. Next milestone is 1,000? This seems like a special milestone, so the plan is a mega-arkitect again this week for 1 of 2 ideas I have had sitting on the blueprints table for a while. (if I don't get lazy - no promises) PGM Submission: Map seed is 100 for Crunch 100, seemed like a special enough occasion to warrant it.

Dragonarcwar Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 ARKitect video I am very proud of this build for when I build it I had no idea it would be good enough for TimmyCarbine to take a liking to it and showcase it on his YouTube. So this week I would like to enter my Dragon Keep build. Had to do a second video for when he Was in spectator mode the pictures did not show up on the picture frames or Flags so please watch both videos.

ThePilgrim Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hello ppl some awesome entries this week ^ This is my Entry for ARKitect. Its my base from the pve server I spend most of my time on, the Maya Pyramid was constructed as something fun for the server. The cable bridge was something I had wanted to build for a long time and a prototype for a larger build. The Main Base is built to incorporate 2 massive Redwood trees, It houses an egg farm and a bunch of random dinos I adopted :). Unfortunately the area was no good for Rex breeding and storage, So I have a larger base situated among the Ruins in South Jungle. Sit back watch the video and listen to some chilled out jungle drums. Here are some pics of the rest of the base, i read the rules again think i should just link the imgur album http://imgur.com/a/FFKCw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWChris Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 ARKiTect: This week I'm submitting my Barn and Stable, built using a combination of vanilla and S+ objects on the Ragnarok map. Comes with a hay loft that can be converted into an apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would like to submit my "Homemade Redwood Tree" build for the arkitekt competition. It was built in survival using entirely vanilla structures (with no-collision setting turned on) and eco's mods to decorate. I had a lot of fun figuring out how to make the tree and subsequently the "platform base" built upon it, i may do a build video/tutorial on how i did it at a later date, if theres interest. I hope you all enjoy http://imgur.com/a/1HxAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
