SJ1414 2k12 finale shadowlighting Release..

this look great, what type of video card do you have?

i have Nvidia GTX 560.. thnx bro

The screens look great
But for white player and Duhon type skin, their arms seem a little bit brighter than their face & neck.
You might want to match them
And I personally hope that you can make the game looks less contrasted in gameplay so it won't put much stress on our eyes

thnx bro for appreciation .. mmm..about the faces... i think its the shadowing in the face bcoz of the light values that i edit made them look a little dark than theie body.. but when then look up their face become brighter again...mmmmm...in your last suggestion...do you mean to put less sweat effect bro in gameplay?? or to change their skin color??

sir seanjohn can you send me the photomod your using? those screenshots on the last page made me drool LOL looks very realistic

i just send it to you via PM.. give mlp111 a credit too bro.. he just give it to me either...

thanks sj1414, can you send it back to me, my hardrive crashed, so i just purchased a new one and i didn't have it backed up on my external like i thought, lol and those screens are insane bro, looks great

I never said I want blurriness. I have sharpened NBA 2K12 via the global LOD bias from my graphics card's settings, but there's doing it, and there's overdoing it. I just feel the CCPM has overdone it, but to each their own. If you like it, fine. Photo-mods have all the settings tweakable anyway, so if someone agreed with me, they could always lower the sharpening factor a bit.

Only reason I don't use any photo-mod (even though some are impressive) is that I can't use Triple Buffering in conjunction with them, which is something I absolutely require, since without V-Sync the game tears really badly, but with just V-Sync and no Triple Buffering, the framerate hikes and drops are too big to offer a consistent lag-free experience. V-Sync and Triple Buffering is a must for me, and since photomods break that (due to the hacked D3D libraries ENB uses that don't have a setting for D3D triple buffering), I don't use them.

I'm just saying, there's other ways to sharpen the game and avoid the framerate loss that usually comes with photo-mods, if the rest of the stuff included in the photo-mod isn't that important.

Cool. Cool. I don't have the same problem as you, I use CCPM along with LOD bias tweak too and my frame rate is still 60 and I love that it is clear and I can see everything. That was just my whole point, every photomod out there makes the game more blurry compared to CCPM.

seanjohn1414, the gameplay effect looks sick, can't wait!

Not too sure about the contrast, but the sweat effect is great.
Maybe it's related to the shadow, maybe subtler shadow (not too dark shadow, but only a little darker than skin) will make the picture looks less contrast (not sure about this ).
This is the example for subtler shadows (from 2k11)


And as I remember, there's one of your previous shadowmod that have good contrast (eyes relaxing), if I'm not mistaken it's realism shadowmod v4 (not sure since I'm currently at work, can't try it now)

2k11 was a great game bro, but i think were not going to get the effect of 2k11 shadows, maybe we will, but by then 2k13 will be right around the corner and we will be on another project....... Just should embrace the 2k12 effects, cause i just we not going to see that effect yet or at all for this game, so you might just want to play 2k11 to get that, i dont mean this in a negative way

you mean like this??

^ That doesn't have the same gameplay effect like the heat/magic preview earlier

sj1414, i need my photomod, lol, I'm dying over here looking at 2k color palette

Yeah, that looks pretty great , just don't see the sweat effect there like chicagoRAW said.
Is it because previews were taken early in the game that they hadn't been sweating a lot or because you reduced the sweat?

you mean like this??

no i dont want to give it back to you... LOL hahaha here it is bro... http://www.mediafire.com/?vzw42m2uw17fi97

dGenius is right bro.. i take the screenshot very early in the game.. and another reason is that i forgot to edit the sweat effect in lebron type skin players....later i will post another pics with edited sweat effect to all players....

@shijerome08 try to turn off your enb and fxaa bro.. that will darken your game... or try to change your enb or the settings of your fxaa....and also here's the link for black-ops BETA to see the difference..

it has something to do with the photomod/ or the settings of your fxaa
i only use fxaa for the sharpening, the rest is disabled. and i dont use photomod anymore because it eats up your framerates

heres fxaa that i use (to remove a bit of blurriness) but i still use the game's default color.. i only sharpen a bit

you can't tell it by the screenshot but u can right click > open image in new tab to see the difference
