Title.

I'm wondering how to make my game look better graphically. Any tips?

Add post-processing effects.

Add more post-processing effects.

Develop a color palette for your scene and use lights to express it.

Global illumination and volumetric lighting as well.

Make sure you have a kick *** video card.  Get a Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 or a GTX 1070 or 1080 - that'll do it.

Make sure you have tons of RAM - I have 32GB per machine.

Make sure you have a great CPU - a Core i7 quad or octocore will do it.

It would be wise to have a HD 1920x1080 or better yet, 4K screen.

My gaming laptops have those cards, RAM, CPU and both HD on one and 4K on the other.

Armed with these specs, I can play anything at ultra everything and all games look AMAZING.

S2 engine has the prettiest graphics I have ever seen in a indie engine and look incredible on my machines - too bad it crashes all the time.

UE4 also looks great.  Unity looks really good.

If Leadwerks has a fantastic renderer, then it SHOULD look good with the above specs.

I started a thread on amazing look Leadwerks demos so I can see just how good the engine is.

Nothing will help you if you don't have good art.
