Tatanko 5591 Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone! As I embark on another journey to create fresh screenshots for the Locations section of the wiki, I thought I would highlight the larger cities here in the Gallery as their own series. My goal is to capture the feel of each city in a way that will make you feel as though you're touring it yourself. I'll try and post a new city every few days as I have the time to roam around. Enjoy :) Part 1: BerezinoPart 2: ChernogorskPart 3: ElektrozavodskPart 4: Novaya PetrovkaPart 5: NovodmitrovskPart 6: SeverogradPart 7: SvetlojarskPart 8: ZelenogorskBonus Round: Chapaevsk Our first stop is the killing grounds of Berezino: http://imgur.com/a/mEOaG Edited June 22, 2015 by Tatanko 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Just Caused 423 Posted April 25, 2015 Good job. Also, why does your game looks so much colorfull? Do you use SweetFX? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted April 25, 2015 Good job. Also, why does your game looks so much colorfull? Do you use SweetFX? :)Thanks! No add-ons or effects here. 100% raw screenshot JPEGs. I will say this: I keep my gamma down around 20%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cash81 506 Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks! No add-ons or effects here. 100% raw screenshot JPEGs. I will say this: I keep my gamma down around 20%. what kind of video settings are you running for it to look like that? (besides the gamma obviously lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BleedoutBill 1636 Posted April 25, 2015 Some of those pics would make perfect, "Welcome to fabulous Berezino" picture post cards. Good job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted April 25, 2015 what kind of video settings are you running for it to look like that? (besides the gamma obviously lol)Everything is turned up as high as it can go, with a few exceptions. My postprocessing is usually either very low or turned off entirely and shadows are usually turned down to a lower setting as well. Gamma is ~20%, and brightness is ~80%. The key to producing good color is adjusting your position so that the sun is either to your back or far to your side; if you look in the direction of the sun or at a right angle to it, things will tend to look darker and less colorful. Some of those pics would make perfect, "Welcome to fabulous Berezino" picture post cards. Good job!Agreed! Thank you :) I reeeeaallly need to learn more about image editing to play around with these things. I basically know nothing :( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebrim 998 Posted April 26, 2015 These really are fantastic, I look forward to the other cities, particularly in the north. Some of the new towns and cities are really impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted April 26, 2015 These really are fantastic, I look forward to the other cities, particularly in the north. Some of the new towns and cities are really impressive.Thanks! I'm only planning on doing the major cities to begin with, but if there is enough interest I may do some of the more unique/important smaller towns as well. I have a soft spot for Krasnoe and Tisy ;) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if devs will re-make old towns in south with so many details. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tatanko 5591 Posted April 27, 2015 I got requests on Reddit to include information with these photos next time. Like, little fun facts and translations and that kind of thing. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Good idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
igor-vk 909 Posted April 28, 2015 No need, people should have learned map so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
