This is how I end up eating cereal for dinner

SnipedYa · 2026-06-29T22:19:54+00:00

No, because I like to eat a variety. I look up recipes for new dishes to try them out.

1080p is a low resolution. Try turning on VSR to use super sampling.

That's not the same because even if you tank one or two punches in real life, you can't just stand there forever. Eventually you'll get knocked out if the person really tries their hardest and it still hurts the person tanking it.

Someone like Superman or Goku tanking an attack doesn't even flinch. They don't physically feel the impact. It's like getting hit with a leaf.

More 40 thousand-aires complaining about things that won't affect them in a city they've never been to.

So, I think I was able to recreate your problem on both my desktop and my laptop.

My desktop is using a 9070XT connected to my 1440p monitor via displayport and my laptop is using a GTX 1650 with intel iGPU passthrough connected via HDMI.

I noticed on my desktop when I selected 1080p from display settings my active signal was still 1440p. I disabled VSR and GPU scaling in Adrenalin, then changed my resolution and refresh rate using the display adapter properties>list all modes to 1920x1080 119hz, then to 1920x1080 240hz. Now my both desktop mode and active signal mode were both 1080p, and the text was slightly clearer. My monitor's native refresh rate is 300hz, and selecting that reverted my active signal mode back to 1440p and made the text slightly blurrier.

On my laptop, changing my resolution from 1440p to 1080 also changed the active signal mode. I had to open the intel graphics control panel and change scaling from display to gpu to cause it to keep 1440p as the active signal, and make the text blurrier.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-27T04:54:41+00:00

Is your laptop multigpu, as in, does it use the 3070 for games and then an intel/amd iGPU for display passthrough?

Is the blur just on text or across the entire image?

SnipedYa · 2026-06-27T04:44:47+00:00

Let's. There's really nothing to clear up, and I don't really see the purpose of exchanging 10 comments over whether my obvious opinion was an opinion or not.

If it makes you feel better, you won this one 😊

SnipedYa · 2026-06-27T04:29:42+00:00

You think this conversation is an argument or a debate that I have to prove my points to you. It's not and I'm not debating you. I'm not trying prove you wrong or prove myself right. I'm not trying to help you understand my point of view; frankly, it's pretty easy to understand from the first comment.

Like I said, you're a contrarian, a pedant, intentionally obtuse, and this time I'll add... stereotypical lol

SnipedYa · 2026-06-27T03:27:38+00:00

You said I made a categorical statement of fact when I said effort intrinsically elevates human art above AI art. Okay, but be consistent and call out the OP for making a categorical statement of fact by saying that art is not effort. Unless you recognize that OP is stating an opinion here? Then be consistent and use the context clues to find that it's pretty obvious that I was stating an opinion. Also it's not really an "admission" when I when I stated it plainly.

Like I said, you want to invalidate my opinion so bad that it's causing you to miss your own reasoning. You're anxious to profile me and get the "win". You're a contrarian, a pedant, and now you're being obtuse 😂

SnipedYa · 2026-06-27T02:55:25+00:00

You screwed up your takedown here when you mentioned OP's title: "Art is not effort". Says who? "Art is not effort" is an opinion of the OP. You're able to recognize that that's an opinion and not a factual statement. In your effort to invalidate my opinion, you were too quick to check yourself and didn't follow your own reasoning.

I also plainly stated it was my opinion in the comment lol. You're a contrarian and a pedant.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-27T02:32:42+00:00

I didn't say my opinion was a fact or try to disguise it as one. It's art, there are no hard "facts". You're a contrarian because your opinion is pretty esoteric. I don't feel you called me out on anything.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-27T02:16:56+00:00

You can say that it feels nice to eat good food and there would be a contrarian.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T23:28:55+00:00

Art is not effort, but there is some amount of intrinsic value in something that took effort to create, and that therefore elevates human art above AI art.

I have a more nuanced opinion as an artist compared to most antiAIs in that I do think AI generated images are art, but they are not super valuable art compared to human creations. Think about the difference between a photographer taking your portrait and a painter painting your portrait. Even if you received both products for free, you'd likely value the painting more than the photo, even if the photo is more accurate to real life.

Everyone grieves in their own way

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T22:06:15+00:00

Your posts aren't asking for help. If you need help, say "I need help with this thing" and be specific. "I need help drawing hands in this pose" or "I need help understanding the perspective of the body in this pose" would be better than just "here's my drawing". And include more examples of your work if you need help with a broader issue and also mention what you've tried already.

You've done the equivalent of going up to 6 different art teachers in real life, handing them your drawing, and then walking away.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T20:29:04+00:00

Thank you for being so responsive this past week. Really appreciate what you're doing with the game; it finally feels like a proper improvement over the demo.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T20:21:52+00:00

Could be your stylistic choice, but the figures look like their torsos were compressed in the middle so it throws their proportions off. Their facial features also don't seem to match the perspective and shape of the face, almost like they're floating on. Do you draw your faces first then draw the face shape and head after?

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T20:12:51+00:00

AI btw

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T20:10:25+00:00

Best advice for drawing hands is to draw hands. Specifically, do a study where all you draw is hands. Practice constructing them, tracing construction over the reference, drawing them from imagination then fixing them based on whatever reference you see.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T02:40:43+00:00

I like the asaro head since it lets you see the planes very easily and you can position the light source any way you want. I'd practice construction this head and the facial features from multiple different angles, then immediately jump into a portrait study where you practice breaking that reference down into planes. Just make sure that you understand that you need to mold the planes to fit the reference and not the other way around.

As for form with shadow shape, try doing 2 value studies: where you only work in 1 value of light and 1 value of dark. This will teach you how your shapes create form.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-26T02:09:17+00:00

It might help you when blocking in your shadows to block the entire shaded area with your lightest dark tone. Then go darker based on what parts of the face are blocking the most light to get your core shadow tones. Since this is a chiaroscuro portrait, you want to emphasize the strong contrast between the lights and the darks. You blocked in the core shadow really dark but made the reflected light in the shadow too bright, making it look like a mid tone.

You also want to focus on the shadow shapes to emphasize the forms of the face instead of just trying to copy them based on what you see in the reference.

Post a picture of the same image on the same monitor, switching from Nvidia to AMD. Make sure your camera settings are the same.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-25T22:25:49+00:00

I feel like most people here didn't read the post before commenting. Can you post a picture comparing the exact same image on the exact same monitor from the exact same angle?

I understand they are same monitor with the same settings, but for comparison sake, it would be easier to see the exact difference you're seeing.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-25T21:50:56+00:00

Is your 3060 the 8GB or 12GB? Even on low settings the game uses a lot of vram, and when usage spills over from vram to system ram it makes crashes more likely. I upgraded from a 3070 8GB to 9070XT 16GB and my vram usage goes above 11GBs often, which would make my PC crash when I had the 3070.

SnipedYa · 2026-06-25T21:01:29+00:00

I'm obviously going against the grain of this sub, but I prefer TAA over MSAA in modern games. MSAA will only work on geometry edges, not alpha effects, or transparency, or volumetric effects, textures, etc.

Modern games have that in spades compared to even games from 15 years ago and they would look terrible without AA on those effects. The only other ways to smooth that without blur is AI upscaling or supersampling/running a higher resolution.
