Dio's Landscaping Journal

[Dio]

First time posting in this site, so hopefully this will be a worthwhile topic. Since this section is all about screenshots from FFXI, I figure I'd post the link to my landscaping journal on here as a topic. The page looks generic as hell, but I haven't really put any creative flare into it. I was mainly just getting the pictures up. The only adjustments I made to the snapshots was using the "Auto Contrast" feature on Photoshop. Other than that, that's pretty much how it looks.

I didn't want to post all the images up since they are pretty big, but here are some samples...

The Sanctuary of Zi'tah



Gustaberg



Valkurm Dunes



Buburimu Peninsula



Xarcabard (Castle Zvahl Area)



Yhoator Jungle



Whenever I get the chance, I'll update as I go along. Anyone else got some nice shots of the lands they've visited?

Anyway, Enjoy!

Whoa! Very nice pictures. They look real

[garic]

Aye, very nice. So thats what the game looks like w/o a crappy GF2 gfx card.

[HoURofChAoS]

Awesome!. Simply stunning. Hopefully my pc wont be shit by the time FFXI gets a Eu release if it ever does.

The sky on the Gustaberg one is my favorite out of these^^ nice work.

May I ask what your system's specs are?

[Dio]

Thanks guys. Well as far as my comp specs go, I don't remember what resolution I'm running the game, but the hardware that matter to the graphics, I have a...

> Pentium 4 (2.4 G)
> ASUS P4P800 [Motherboard]
> ATi Radeon 9600 Pro [Video Card]
> 512 MB RAM
> Windows XP Pro

The program I use to take the snaps is called FRAPS (if you haven't already heard of it). Like I mentioned earlier, I did adjust the pictures' quality, but I only used Contrast/Brightness adjustments. All the colors and detail is exactly how I see them in the game, itself.

I was at the Temple of Uggalepih and I just ran up to the upper level and just look a snap of the jungle, looking out.

FABULOUS !

I just suggest you to retake the picture of Valkurm Dunes without the mob (or with the mob but without the names)

Keep going, really good screenshots !
