Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, we already seen this x2ShadowDeathX

Amazing! :o. Thanks for the post!

"If we were a little more creative, we would of took the wings of a swan and put them on a tiger. But we didn't think of that at the time."

:lol:

Oh.. my!! Thank you... Sharing with my friends :)

interesting vid... thanks.

if the technology is as good as they claim then :shock:

This technology is useless. Voxels are just not viable. End of story.

If this works out pc games graphics will get ridiculously more detailed and literally be multiple gens ahead of consoles so hoping this catches on.DJ_Headshot

It's not going to work.

I'm not going to believe a single one of those claims until an interactive demo is running on my computer. Emphasis on interactive because all they showed was static scenery. *Copy pasted from other thread*General_X

Go play MineCraft then.

lol at the unicorn/dragon analogy :lol:

But, seriously...that is incredible.

I missed the part where they said how they got it to run well; how did they manage that?

Also, I am glad he stressed "we are not artists, we are a tech company" because at first I was like "damn that is a crappily designed level"

Bravo!

Am very excited about this is they can pull it off. The next year or 2 should be very interesting as the SDK pack goes out and dev teams start to use the tech. Because can you imagine how creative a team can be?

e.g. with this tech destructible environments would be breathtaking. You could unload a shot gun into a wall and have it braking down in real time. Or you could actually have weather accumulation such as snow building up on the ground because snow atoms could collect.

This could be the next big step that gaming needs.

This looks incredible, but I'm a little skeptical. They never mentioned why their atomic system uses less resources than polygons. If it DOES work though, enter virtual reality.

care to elaborate?

lol your like the guy who said he wasnt going to belive in the xbox until he had it in his house, dispite seeing the tech demos. What do you think tech demos are for?! lol UDK has tech demos, do you belive they will make it to market?! hahah

These guys are not working hard as part of a joke, they want and believe that this will make it to market. The videos are to market to other big developers, so they might get extra funding.

Sometimes I wish I just believed thigs 'popped' into existance, but they dont, they take years and years of RandD.

I been doing a bit of research about the devs they recived in 2010 the biggest commercial Australian government grant ever. The Austrailian Goverment has confidence in these guys. I am wondering if I can buy stock in this company? :)

It looks amazing, but when it comes down it, i think the hardware of 99.9999999 percent of people will not be able to use it. Let alone the consoles. If they are only running that on 20 fps. I'm guessing they have someone up the line of 3-4 high end gups and two 6 cores. It just isn't going to run on on most peoples pcs. If i'm correct for the same tech in medical the pc's cost around 40 grand to run them.

that vid have been shown more en these forums the last few days, then the Xbox vs PS3 arguement on SW has :P

I am cautiously optimistic that this tech might at some time in the future be viable, but sofar, it was static images weve seen, and I too would like to have an interactive test running on my pc before I belive it wholehardetly, or see a game use it.

It does reming me somewhat of voxels, I suppose they share a common ancester (or rather voxels are the ancester of this thing) and voxels diddnt do too good back then, who knows? maybe this time there really is something about this that might work.

In any case, the ease of use the artists seem to would have, using this is what I consider the better point of the vid, so basicly artists does not need to learn soething new, and can still use the old peoggys theyre used to? thats nice ^^

but still... I belive it when I see it AND interact with it.

looks great and here hopeing but running at 20fps without any movement or characters on screen etc, I think this is a long way off.

That 20fps is software only. Play the video back, he says that they have other versions running on hardware that are running at much much higher FPS, that are not quite finished yet.

Also next video they post is supposed to include much better lighting.

I am very excited about this, I have been wondering when we would evovle from solely polygon gaming...

This could really open up hit detection like never before!

Yes tech demos are all well and good, but until its running on my machine why should I care about it? Now if I were a big company this might interest me in givng them funding, but I'm not a big company, I'm a consumer, and the only thing that matters is the final product, not a non-interactive video on the internet.General_X

Play Crysis and Minecraft, both use voxels for various things.

Carmack's next engine is based on voxels, and he endorses these guys. It's funny that Notch thinks it's a scam. But if Carmack says it's possible, it is.

Just to prove my point that this will not work anytime soon.

Notch made two posts about it.

seems unlikely they would acquire all that funding without having to address the (glaringly obvious) issue of data size and how feasible animation would be when using their technology. i would imagine they would have had to convince investors that the technology was viable before any money was handed over?

It's gonna be while till we see this in action. I saw this a year back and they haven't added much to it. Also, there's 0 animation.. why? Cause it's extremely complicated to do animation with the "atoms".trastamad03

thats fake.. however this is real http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQQpCd_vvGU&feature=related

How did I know what the thread was going to be about?

Oh right, I've seen like 5 topics about this on the forums.
