GodspeedFx Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 In all the screenshots of people's faces in the downloads section, the hair is very smooth and not rigid.. i'm using a radeon 9800 XT 256 and I know it's not the fastest card, but even when I go to 1200x1600 with 6x AA and all the settings at their highest, the hair on my characters never look that good (even when I download the ones made here with natural face, ren's beauty pack, and eshne's body pack) Is it just that my card isn't capable of it or is there something I'm missing? Also, when I zoom in close to the face of my character it gets all wierd looking and not smooth.. i'm not talking about the shape, but the color.. it gets like dark looking in spots and makes them look old. Any help would be appreciated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tessera Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I own the same video card and I plugged it in to see what you were talking about. You're right... hair looks very grainy on a RADEON 9800 as compared to my much newer nVidia card. I don't think it's because nVidia are better video cards (they aren't). I think it may have to do with the age of the 9800's design, though. So far as I know, the older RADEON 9800's don't fully support "shader model 3.0" and that might be a factor here. :unsure: PS - setting your anti-aliasing any higher than 4x doesn't really help any... it can actually make things a little blurry and indistinct. I usually keep mine set at 2x and just crank up the game's resolution a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
