Learn more about these features from the NVIDIA blog. Now let’s get to the contest! There were 3 potential categories for survivors to enter their shots into and they were the following: 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. Freeform: Any settings, whacky and creative use of Ansel filters are encouraged. Adding humorous titles/captions in Photoshop is also acceptable for this category! And now without further ado, here are your entries!

Cheers GG Fizz, glad to be sharing the win this week with you, you have a great build as always Shame Glider doesnt work on officials, but we'll see what I can come up with on local and try it out. Grats to everyone else as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Angelus Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I am curious how the Ansels are judged? There are several (in the 8x category) under honorable mentions I think are far more exciting as they have a certain level of scenery, dino quantity, and color (excluding mine for the purposes of this comment & wiping all names away to avoid any form of bias). I actually just look at the images first purely anyway and not the names, I don't want to say which ones I think fit the above since the nature of this isn't targeting anyone, but rather in an image vs image scenario, but I count at least 6 (again, excluding mine for this purpose). Thanks for any response. Happy 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnmay Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Quick question, when the titanboa finally become tameable, will they be breedable? i would love to breed snakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badassunicorn Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Yeeey RUNNER UP, thats amazing! It was some fierce competition this week and the winners for Arkitect this week were insane submitions! I never thought of the possibility to build under a treehouse platform! And obv, GG Fizz entered his best build to date, just epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've never said it is the last, I don't think they intend on stopping it anytime soon. They say it's the latest which means the most recent.

Eladamril Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Event will finish on the 18th now? Is it true the rumor about permanent x2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rios9 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I am also confused about the whole X2, and I wanna have proof of this for my tribe. No one believes me lol they think something like this would have been announce more officially like on update notes. Can someone just confirm this? From now on harvesting, taming, exp, maturing, hatching, gestation and mating speed is X2 (What we used to call a x2 event) These are gonna run 24/7 on all official servers from now on? And when there is an event it will be X2 of that? 2x Harvesting Rate 2x Taming Rate 2x EXP Rate 2x Maturing 2x Hatching 2x Gestation 2x Faster Mating Interval Rates Reminder: this 2x bonus is on top of the 2x rates that are now standard on our official servers!
