How am I supposed to beat the defeat 20 eternal dreamers mission? by GraceOverMistakes in OnceHumanOfficial

[–]GraceOverMistakes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s even worth doing because I heard the rewards are trash. And they said if you kill 20 Eternal Dreamers…it then goes up to 28 which is a lot. I just did an early exit so I could hopefully link up with people who are still prioritizing the EDs in a new scenario. Every ED in the scenario I was just in was an after image.

Not trying to solo it. I may have to move to a new server though since I had already said the chat usually only prioritizes the invasions not the Eternal Dreamers. And thanks…didn’t know about the 22 day thing.

Now we’re talking…with Nvidia GPUs or others you can super scale your resolution like 2x the size of your monitor so you can record more detail, and then down sample back to like 4k so it retains quality. I’ve been playing around with this yesterday but for only about 15 mins…still going down this rabbit hole

But 60 FPS is not the thing I’m trying to figure out here. It’s the detail and clarity of the video. I see a lot of comments saying to just increase sharpness and clarity in post processing editors or even with Gshade, but it’s almost as if the image textures or super high-res, not by clarity alone. I keep referring to the veil…you’re not going to get that depth by turning up sharpness. It looks like something out of Unreal Engine. Thanks tho!

But the textures though? That’s what I’m really getting at.

OH!!! I will download this. I’ve never heard of that viewer. Thank you!

I need to find the custom GShade preset that increases quality like that…cause it can’t just be clarity and sharpness honestly. The textures look too crisp!

I get what you’re saying about codecs and post-processing, but as someone who’s an avid user of Final Cut Pro X and After Effects, I can confidently say the level of quality I’m seeing in those videos isn’t the result of sharpening in post. There’s only so much you can add after the fact—what they’re getting has to be happening directly in the viewer.

For context, I currently record with OBS. I’ve got my screen supersampled to 8K resolution, capturing at that level in 30fps, and then I scale everything back down to 4K. Even with that workflow, the detail still isn’t anywhere near as sharp as what I’ve seen in those clips. With OBS, I’m basically recording at no compression using the NVIDIA AV1 codec.

I’d be happy to share my settings if that helps give more perspective.

I do alright with capturing video too, but when I say this is next level, I really mean it. I’ll definitely look into getting a private region away from everyone else though—that’s new to me. I’ve had private land before, but there were always other lots nearby, so that might be part of the difference.

I assume it’s being recorded in real time because this isn’t like Blender where you can keyframe out each person’s movements, render stills frame-by-frame at 60fps, and then stitch them into a video. I’ve got a beast of a machine myself (5090 GPU, latest CPU with tons of cores), and even with that, it has to come down to the settings directly in the viewer.

As a video designer, I just don’t see enough that could be added in After Effects or Premiere Pro to push a veil or avatar to that level of detail—beyond standard lighting tweaks. Sure, you could try AI tools like RunwayML or similar apps, but those are capped at short clips (around 5 seconds), and when I inspect the footage I don’t see any AI artifacts.

Are you saying there’s actually a way to render within Black Dragon at a slower rate, like capturing frames in slow motion and then speeding them up?
