I honestly know nothing of directx10 and directx9. All i know is that comparisons, even though you say their is only a few differences. DX10 looks much better then 9

WAR-Floodgate

I've been trying to get a good shot of WAR-Floodgate, but there are so many cool angles to choose from. Here's one image that I though was cool.

Two sizes: 1900px wide and a wallpaper sized at 1900x1200.

Cheers!!

I've never noticed it either!
I can't play that level without glancing up in awe every few seconds.

UT3 might look just as good Gears of War, but saying it looks better than Crysis is just Denial.
I disagree. In terms of looks, my favourite game is Okami on the PS2. A really old machine. I think it looks gorgeous, and it's an artistic preference, not denial. I like the stylized look of UT3 more than Crysis, despite the fact that Crysis' engine is clearly technically superior.

Thanks for these pics, they make nice wallpapers :cool:

Hey there, any tips/command lines for getting a panorama shot?

It'll be very appreciated. ;)

Sure, check HERE:

Also,
To hide your weapon, just hit ESC, then settings, advanced, weapons, and make your weapon hidden.

Most of the old UT2004 console commands still work with UT3.

You can also make your F9 key take high resolution tiled shots by changing the command in the UTinput.ini file. It's easy. Just navigate to C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config\UTInput.ini and open the UTinput.ini file with notepad. Hit Ctrl F and type in F9 (we're trying to find the F9 command in the ini file). You'll see the first line found will say:

Bindings=(Name="F9",Command="shot",Control=False,S hift=False,Alt=False)
Change it to read:

Bindings=(Name="F9",Command="tiledshot",Control=Fa lse,Shift=False,Alt=False)

For panorama shots, use Kolor Autopano Pro - CLICK HERE. It's an easy program...just select your screenshots folder and it'll stitch them together. Make sure you take multiple screenshots in a 360 degree circle. Always keep your view fixed, meaning you can swivel the camera/view, but do not strafe back and forth or move forward and backwards between shots. ;)

Torlan Necris shots look cool.

Have to say it, I have played that map only one time. And that was in the campaign! :)

My 2 tries.

First is from VCTF-Sandstorm (?), second is from WAR-Dusk. Third is a normal shot from the first map, usable as wallpaper for 1600*1200 and below. :)

Both are rendered with 2x narrow-tent AA, averaging about 6-8 shots at 2560*2048 each. Slightly processed with Photoshop/Tiffen Dfx for a much better "bullshot" feeling (see the second image- I'm rather proud of that :))

Those are cool shots! The only thing I would recommend is reducing the contrast a little (default processing) and then sharpen them a little when you reduce the size. I've got a few more Torlan shots...will upload in a few! ;)

WAR-Torlan Necris 2

This is probably one of the best shots I've taken in a while. I summoned the Darkwalker, since they're not in the map by default.

Three sizes:

3315x1200
1920x1200
1680x1050

If you want a wallpaper at 1280x1024, just crop one of the larger images.
