Can anyone help me recreate the effects that are in this image? even at full epic and ultra settings with a GTX 980 I still cannot make my game look anywhere NEAR this picture. It's the vibrant colours and the lighting that is involved mainly and I've tweaked around SweetFX and cannot come close to it... I mentioned ENB because I'm wondering if its actually an ENB used even though there hasn't been one made. Thanks for any help! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CjgBJaNUUAAFQ0e.jpg:large

Not an ENB. The generic enb, even if it works, doesn't come anywhere near that. It wouldn't think it would work for ARK anyway. I don't have ARK so I can't say what exactly to do to get that, but I'd start with ReShade instead of SweetFX to get twice the effects. Also, a lot of people apply effects in post to game screenshots if they want to use it as a wallpaper. This may be the case here, too. For example: If I make Skyrim screenshot wallpapers, I run them through [url=https://github.com/nagadomi/waifu2x]waifu2x[/url] to bring it up to 4k and denoise it to the point where it's "painty".

Thanks a lot for the reply FierySwordssoman! much appreciated........
