[VIDEO] Atmospheric Music Video - Journey from Elektro to Chernaya Polana in 1440p

[Hoff Suppressant 66]

This video is footage captured with maximum video settings and in-game rendering at 3840x2160 during my journey up to the new city of Chernaya Polana. The band is Ohio Sky from Cleveland, Ohio. I was inspired by this acoustic version of their song Van Gogh to make an atmospheric montage video of what it sometimes feels like running across the wilderness of Chernarus. 

 

 

Ohio Sky's details are in the video description!

I do these kinds of things too :D. I enjoy roaming the countryside of Chernarus. Why no ambient occlusion enabled? I find it muddies a lot of other things at times but sometimes deep in the forrests up north the ambient occlusion gives a nice depth and atmosphere, especially near dusk.

I swore I turned ambient occlusion on but sure enough I just checked the menu and it's disabled! Nice eyes!

I figured you must of forgot or something since you said max settings. I usually leave it turned off as its a FPS hog at times but it looks real nice in the country.

 

Forgot to say nice vid man ;)! I'm working on a similar video trying to get some of the cool things you find when venturing far away from the coast. I was recording one time and I didn't even know about the rock formation historic marker that reminds me a little of stonehenge, so it was a nice surprise when I stumbled across it. I left a gun sling, beans and a soda on the center rock as a token to the DayZ rock garden Gods :D. Maybe some other survivor ran across them before the server restarted!

I figured it out. I had turned my Post Processing to Very Low for gameplay and didn't notice when I shot the footage for this video. Ambient Occlusion isn't available on Very Low PP it must be on Low or higher. Thanks again for pointing that out I learned something!
