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 given to Survivors to celebrate the amazing structures you build. These bases are judge based upon a number of different factors such as their creativity, uniqueness, how fun of a base it is, the difficulty of building it, the functionality it provides and much more! At the end of each week, the winners and runner ups will be featured in our #ARKitect section of the Community Crunch and will be awarded cash prizes! Note: We've had a lot of requests regarding the use of mods - go for it! We'd love to see how mods have influenced your bases LIMITED ONE-TIME CONTEST: The Center Boss Fight!

LameWolfProductions Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 LAME WOLF'S SUBMISSIONS THE LYING MANTIS A little improvised sketch we did which involves a Mantis impersonating a person and infiltrating a tribe. A fun little video. ANYTHING BUT THE BEES With the announcement of the Giant Bee dossier, we figured we'd do an improvised sketch on how someone afraid of bees (as our very own Máirín is) might react to such news. Thanks a lot for considering our entries, we hope you enjoy them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can post them on this forum, but there's a file size limit on each post of 0.39MB. I'd recommend using https://www.wetransfer.com/ WeTransfer will do up to 2GB for free, no strings and super simple to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadlos Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Two new dossiers. A dossier I made on a tutorial live stream, Wonambi! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=771632599 And something I haven't done in a while. A Scorched Earth mamono, the Black Harpy. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=771870194 Also I have made two more dossiers for more Scorched-themed Mamono (i'm being much more careful of them now, like I was with Kraken and Lamia) of desert-originating ones (ones that come from legends from countries in the middle east-ish area), but due to the images I had to work with I'm not sure if posting them would be the right thing or not. If I could at least get some sort of dev "ok" on the base images in question I had to use, then i'll post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWChris Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 My newest video for the ARKitect contest: an amazing Paracer mobile base built with a 6.5x platform building limit and 100% within survival mode. I like to call it "SWChris's Moving Castle". Watch the video to see how I built it and how I plan to use it!

You only get the email the first time you win something. After that if you win again you'll just get your prize when they get around to it.
