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 ($200 prize for first and $100 for any runners up) given to Survivors to celebrate the amazing structures you build.

Wolf Angelus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Shouldn't this week be Halloween themed ? For the Grand Finale, Halloween Town! Key Features: -Heavily customized lighting (adjusting light range, brightness, size) (Thank you RedDwarf for the custom Pumpkin Light Poles done to my picky request) --Lighting indoors to look more realistic for windows shining light -Fall themed atmosphere, utilizing heavy tree growth for effect -16 houses (or 10 houses + 6 stores) -Tons of small decor bits, such as creepy crawlers, pumpkins, graves, stickers, coffins, string lights, fog, cobwebs -Gothic style finish on roofing ARKitect Submission: The grand, Halloween finale! (been dieing to make and put this out since early October, but made the most sense as the finale) It is 11 mins, but I know you will absolutely love this :3 It was just impossible to go any shorter, as the detail is aimed at 50% day, 50% night, and it is a huge town! Images! Just in case you don't make the full video, I did a pretty thorough job on pictures, but they don't capture the feeling and music of course :3 (I tried to alphabetize these for convenience so they are shown in order, but the site doesn't register that properly. Order is A1-9 > B1-9 > etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis138 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hello! Here is my entry for Arkitect. This is a build on the big bridge on Ragnarok. The video is a bit choppy because it’s the only footage I got of this build before our dedicated server had a wipe. This a collaboration build between the Mighty Missy Prime and my self. We spent a good amount of time on this build. There are some great little features. We have a pinball machine?! This was done on xbox with no mods what soever.

Marv Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Can we get a warning sound (like a screech) when griffins go into a dive? Are more musical instruments still in the works? Any thoughts about adding a blindfold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger1 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 A rather mellow "Day in the Life" type entry for the ARKVideo contest. BEYOND KAMAKA The Kamaka Lake build is growing, evolving, and becoming self sufficient. The time is coming to look beyond Kamaka in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Demonsoul109 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 ARKitect This is my latest build in Ragnarok, this is a 100% harvest build. Our gather rates are higher than official but much lower than the original Pooping Evolved Island server. Our server uses mostly construction mods, and this build was done using the following: Castles, Keeps, and Forts Structures Plus Medieval Structures 1&2 Medieval Decor Eco's Decor mods, all but 1 or 2 Pub mod Builders involved: Demonsoul: (myself) Layout, and design, landscaping, major construction. Necrobard: Server admin, dino tamer, assistant design, construction, and harvester. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator GP Posted October 29, 2017 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2017 @Demonsoul109, please be aware that this Community Crunch has already ended and the results posted here: Please make sure you try to submit your entries by Friday at the latest. Generally a new Crunch thread for entries, like the one you are in now, will be posted on a Tuesday, and the results will be posted in a thread in Announcements (like the one linked above) on a Saturday. So if you submit anytime between Tuesday-Friday you should be good. I suggest you wait until Tuesday this week and resubmit your entry to be safe that it has been seen.
