Eerongal he/him Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Though i'll believe it when i actually see it. They can make pretty videos all day, but that doesn't mean they aren't trying to con someone or something.

That is insane, I looked it up and I guess this is the same technology that they used to make Avatar, and that the company is funded by the Austrailian Government. Still skeptic how they are able to render it in real time though. Also Edited August 2, 2011 by SOM1else

Still skeptic how they are able to render it in real time though. Also From what i've looked into, they use a point-cloud matrix (as they say in the video) which is something that normally DOESN'T work terribly well in video games, but apparently they've figured out a way to only render what needs to be rendered and ignore everything else, so instead of it processing billions of extra points, it just chucks those out the window and renders only what the camera can see. Like i said, i'll believe it when i see it.

I'm certainly not an expert on this, but his words make sense I think.

I'm certainly not an expert on this, but his words make sense I think. yeah, FYI voxel rendering is essentially point cloud rendering. (a "voxel" is essentially a 3D "pixel"). Generally, voxel rendering doesn't work for games. Voxel rendering has been around for some time. What these people CLAIM is that they can cut out the extra "crap" rendering and render only what's needed to make it faster.
Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Mention of Allomancy in this article. It doesn't talk a lot about it, so I figure it belongs here rather than getting its own topic.

firstRainbowRose she/her Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Anyone who actually accepts this challenge and completes it will get epic points in my eyes. As it is, I'd love to see what the record would be. I am now at 26 minutes. I plan on watching until Josh tells me to stop. . . and he doesn't get home for another 40 minutes. I think I might be crazy by then though. We'll see... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VznlDlNPw4Q&feature=related Edit: Pausing, then restarting does not count! Edit2: He said to stop about twenty minutes in. The count when I finally hit pause was 1:38:03

Silus - Shard of Flame he/him Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) I'm starting now, let's see how this goes. #ohnowhathaveIdone I went 38 minutes, had to get up for something, and when I got back I thought, "You know what, I don't actually want to do that." So I didn't. Freedom of choice, FTW. Edited August 11, 2011 by Silus - Shard of Flame
