Game stream is useful for people who have a NVIDIA Shield Portable, a NVIDIA Shield TV and controller, or a NVIDIA Shield Tablet and controller, and Ansel would be useful for high quality screenshots in studio for things like thumbnails. Is it possible for Roblox, client and studio, to get this?
Nice example; you probably really wanted to post that.
However you’re missing the point of ansel:
Although it’s a meme feature in real videogames, in roblox it actually has a purpose; ansel allows us to produce render-quality imagery without using Blender; in 4k without supercharging our monitor resolutions (studio’s test resolution feature goes up to 2000x2000).
Game Stream would definitely be great for both proud owners of the shield.
It only affects “people who have a NVIDIA Shield Portable, a NVIDIA Shield TV and controller, or a NVIDIA Shield Tablet and controller, and Ansel” which is not all players. They are not going to waste production time on a limited feature that some people can and are going to use when screen shotting ingame already exist. Just my two cents.
How can you be satisfied when that screenshot is 1918x999 instead of 1920x1080?
A feature like Ansel would empower us to capture extremely high resolution (>10k) images that can be used to make high detail wallpapers and thumbnails. Ansel also supports stuff like 360 images and HDR.
Aside from being awesome, high precision screenshots don’t suffer from rounding issues when applying effects or changing exposure:
Only the shield streaming feature is reserved for shield owners fam.
Ansel is for everyone with nvidia cards, which are sadly the most popular (the most popular actual cards, integrated trash obviously beats its numbers otherwise, especially for roblox where many players are stuck on notebooks with 1366x841.333 resolution displays).
Figured I should give a reminder that Roblox factors in Windows scaling. A 4K image on Roblox looks the same as zooming in on a 1080p image with nearest neighbor scaling.
If you take a look at the edges of the Ultimate Boxing logo, they aren’t that smooth, and having NVIDIA Ansel for downscaling is much better than having to upscale. If we could only have one new NVIDIA feature supported, I would vote for Ansel.
