[How to make your wow graphics beautiful!]

Make 2 macros, copy paste this into it.

Macro N:1
/console overridefarclip 1
/console farclip 1600
/console horizonfarclip 6226
/console groundeffectdensity 256
/console groundeffectdist 140
/console smallcull 0
/console skycloudlod 3
/console characterAmbient
/console extshadowquality 4

Macro N:2
/console environmentDetail 2

Instructions:
Don't touch your video settings after this. If you do, you'll have to use the macros again.
Exit WoW.

Download this. It's the HDR mod - http://www.mediafire.com/?bjj5dtmbgm5
Unzip the archive right into your WoW folder. C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\ by default. If you have a 64 bit computer it will be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\ by default.And that's it. The HDR mod will affect your interface as well, so whenever you need to look at the map or the dressing room, you can toggle it by pressing Shift+F12.
You can mess with the settings in the .ini if you want, it will change the effect of the mod. I'm pretty sure you can add godrays and depth of field, but I haven't checked it out yet. This also works with ANY DX9 capable game. So if you want to get these same effects in another game that you have, switch it to DX9 and put the mod into the game directory.

I don't see much of a difference except things being darker. :p

WoW graphics will always and forever be the same. Either way, thanks for sharing this!

This is very true! this is more of an improvement i guess? putting a little more brightness here and there really makes a difference :D

epic share!
i however do see the changes and it does seem a bit better. it removed the orange hue from the game. now dry dirt like in ur imaged is a bit brown than orange. and yes using this is a color correction thing. not an actual graphics edit. its just changing the hue. and yes. it does look alot better.
cudos to you ! thankyou :d

You say they will always and forever be the same. This is wrong, haven't you seen the difference from wotlk to cata? Have you seen the difference from cata to mop? And just wait for WoD.. it becomes better and better for each expansion.

Sure does make the login for cataclysm seem interesting, XD, though I gotta play around with the bloom settings, I love Bloom, just not that much intensity.

---edit.

Lol... made it grayscale by making the saturation -5 lol

Atleast editing the settings can be done like GTA:SA .... change settings, and just minimize the game and get it back up and it'll reload the settings.

How is it wrong? Yes, I've seen the graphics compared to WotLK, Cataclysm and MOP, honestly doesn't look different other than new M2, WMO, brush textures, creature models and continent changes/addition like do they in every expansion. Half the remodeling they did in WoD doesn't really look completely different. Same look, but touched up races body/face features slightly with kinda crappy new animation and added different creatures models, new continent, sort of, since it is still Outlands but in the past; they really did a bad job in WoD changes. I can't see any huge changes between WotLK and MOP since they didn't really do much other than what I mentioned.

Content interaction wise they always impress with different gameplay features and exciting new boss fights. However, you can't really expect much when it comes to graphical changes regarding WoW. If you ask me, they do a lot better job with the new creature models in a new expansion than they do with the actual character race models (given that WoD was the first major race model change in years..)

I think Etox has that placebo effect going on in their head, feeling that things are getting visually better because it's newer but it really isn't Sure it might have better Anti-Aliasing, and the shaders are SLIGHTLY improved, but other than that, visually it's the same. Kinda like some people that say, the water is better, so that means everything else is that much better... placebo effect XD.

And just incase no ones realized it yet, this is the ENB GFX Mod for Grand Theft Auto.

EDIT:----

Alrighty, I got a setting I'm comfortable with.
