Ak'athra J'ador Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2010.12.03 23:18:00 - [1] I was wandering what was the highest possible resolution in which I can get the eve client to work, and how would one go about doing it. I need to be able to make screen-shots, preferably, at about 9000x7000, but 4000x3000 would be satisfactory. and before you ask, yes this is so I can take a screenshot, edit it a little in photoshop and then print me an eve poster. The ones in eve store were not drawn, thy were rendered. By the looks of it, twas the good old trinity engine (probably edited in photoshop later, but besides the point). Since we run the same thing, I wandered if It was possible for us to do the same. I know the tool used for making eve trailers is Jessica. It was also stated that it is not true that they record at high ress and then shrink it down. The ability to do so is probably there though. Wouldn't be surprised if the client is capped but Jessica can go to a lot bigger sizes, and was perhaps even used to make the posters currently in the eve store. So how high of a resolution do you think one could achieve with the client, and how would he go about doing it?

IMO ofc. hmm...you mean tri-exporter? tried some of that with 3dmax in the past, must say it worked quite well, though I must admit that while I got some of the textures right, I could not quite get all the lights going but I guess one could add that after...

Arrange them as needed. reached similar conclusion on scrapheap. go to friend, get another graphics card, preferably same company. hook up 4 monitors(2 on each card) and make a ****-load of screen-shots on sisi. still trying to figure out if there is a way to emulate/force a higher ress...

Nova Fox Gallente Novafox Shipyards	Posted - 2010.12.04 00:30:00 - [7] Edited by: Nova Fox on 04/12/2010 00:30:13 Ask the CCP cinematics team they make thier work on with a custom tooled client some rediciously high resolution for that extra crispy glory, My fuzzy memory says its like 5600x something as mentioned in an answer to one of thier blogs on why trinity looked alot nicer on video than actual. Unfourtuatnly my eve-search fu is rather weak, This thread also contained how large the extra high shadow detail maps where something to the tune of like 500 mbs a map per object. hope these clues would give more insight and a point in right direction.

Ak'athra J'ador Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2010.12.04 00:31:00 - [8] must be some way to emulate. I think you can have a virtual desktop at a custom resolution and then take screen-shots...just not sure you can run an application inside...

Just imagine all media we could make... not to mention free advertising for CCP...
Ak'athra J'ador Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2010.12.04 12:11:00 - [10] Figured out how to do it. go here and download gimespace desktop extender. this is a virtual desktop program which will allow you to resize the eve client to any size you want. you will only get the trial version, but it is enough for what we want you will also need fraps. take the screenshots with whatever fraps button you have assigned (default f10). not print-screen. press control+f9 to make all the windows and UI disappear. after that login, and move your client to the bottom left corner and resize, move to bottom left corner again, resize, repeat... fps will drop fast so make sure you have what you want on your screen-shot before you start resizing. ok, since it turns out I suck at screenshots, can anyone who sucks a little less go and make some also, where could I find a station in orbit of a good looking planet (lava, temperate), and some sun? also good looking nebula

Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2010.12.04 12:41:00 - [11] Originally by: Ak'athra J'ador also good looking nebula Now, THAT you can't get in that resolution with the official client. The "skybox" nebula background textures are of a noticeably lower resolution than what you said you want, so the more you pump up the client resolution, the worse the nebula image will end up looking. _ Beginner's ISK making guide \| Manufacturer's helper \| All about reacting _

I mean check the pic the ship has amazing detail, it looks awesome. the planet also, beautiful. and then you see the dice background...oh god. really needs an update, compared to the rest of the beauty that is eve

The "skybox" nebula background textures are of a noticeably lower resolution than what you said you want, so the more you pump up the client resolution, the worse the nebula image will end up looking. Would be nice they'd get procedural skybox textures into the client.. together with the region/constellation effects. Btw, what happened to the new eden stars mapped on the background? When did this one get sacked? PS: put me up for a vote on releasing Jessica to the Nerds.

Ak'athra J'ador Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2010.12.04 12:50:00 - [14] don't really get it, but cant they just put higher resolution images in, until they make a new system?

They have to MAKE the higher resolution images first (which shouldn't be THAT difficult), then decide the added client size is "worth it" (how that is determined I have no idea) _ Beginner's ISK making guide \| Manufacturer's helper \| All about reacting _
Ak'athra J'ador Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2010.12.04 12:57:00 - [16] they care about client size? roommate was complaining wow is up to 20 gigs or something, don't really think it would be any issue adding in new backgrounds

Plus, I try to assume the least amount of non-redtape possible (as to not get disappointed when it inevitably rears its ugly head). I mean, seriously, how else (except excessive red tape) could you explain why correcting a minor typo in a ship description could take years from the moment it's first pointed out to the moment it gets fixed ? _ Beginner's ISK making guide \| Manufacturer's helper \| All about reacting _

I'm pretty sure they'll make them fixed skybox textures as big as the usual gamer see's them in their day-to-day use of the client.. But as you're looking at creating screenshots for posters with 1.5m per side (9k/150dpi) this won't be enough for you. If they would introduce procedural backgrounds on the other hand, than it would work like those: Mandelbrot set Public Idea Tracker \| 24 Hour PLEX

Ak'athra J'ador Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2010.12.04 13:25:00 - [20] hmm...aren't the backgrounds in the wormholes of a higher resolution? they probably still aren't generated, so it will still be dicey, but they should produce better results?
