A method to make the game look even more awesome

Thanks to this thread

i've finally found out where is poe in my profile settings, so i tweaked the shadows in NVidia Inspector to enable (force) Ambient Occlusion in the game.

Results:






How to set up:
-Download NVidia Inspector (not sure if this program works with ATI cards)
-Choose settings, find Dragon: MMORPG profile.
-Change Ambient Occlusion compatibility to Fallout 3
-Change Ambient Occlusion setting to High quality
-Change Ambient Occlusion usage to Enabled
-Save the profile

The game should now use this advanced shadow technique. Expect a massive framerate drop, since the game isn't optimised for this! Use any of non-default settings of your own risk!

DAT AWESOME Graphic !

Proper support for this will be added later, including bloom/hdr or w/e.

I'm a bit of a moron with these things, but I gave it a go and...wow, it looks so good. :)

:O

Looks glorious. Really breathes life back into PoE.

Thats 2 models crossing each other (or very close) so the algorithm just make the shadow appear. There are minor bugs like this since as i told, this effect isn't supported by the engine at general, but well, i think the overall result is very nice anyway.

Chris, will this be ever a built in option?

We already support bloom :)

Good to know, since my brother asked a few months ago and was told you guys would look into it after OB or something :)
