VaM 1.x Screenshots

[CrashBanditKut]

Hi everyone — I have a quick question.
The first screenshot was taken with the Supershot v13 plugin, which upscales the image and produces a much better result than my monitor, which can only display Full HD. On the right is a regular screenshot taken with Windows.


My question for those who know: are there any screenshot plugins that can capture images at higher quality without losing visual effects like bloom? Because unfortunately, SuperShot also doesn’t work with other plugins

It's not loosing the post process, since it's sampling the scene X times more (X being the amount of super sampling you choose), the effect is not resampled at your final resolution.

Simply boost all your post processing parameters for your final resolution (even if you get blind in desktop mode )

The problem is that even if you turn everything up to the maximum, for some things it’s still not enough — for example, if you want to make glowing eyes like in the screenshot. Turning everything to the max usually doesn’t help, so I decided to ask if that’s normal. Thanks for the reply.

There's no way around that. The post processing pipeline of VAM 1 is "meh" even tho Mac tried to do the best he could to bring something to compensate.
Also there are reasons why the glow does not "push" far enough. Obtaining a glow/bloom is not only tied to the image itself, but the HDR value of the self illum material is too.

Since eyes are not emissive, then you get pretty much no bloom. You're just compensating by putting values that are technically way too high.

All and all, VAM 1 post processing is kind of broken, and you gotta live with that, or shot at 1440p which is somewhat ok.

Got it, thank you for explanation.

Personally, I use Windows screenshot, or a screen capture software to keep all the effects. (OBS studio).

You're not super-sampling with an external screenshot software.
