The Euclideon "Unlimited Detail"-Engine is back

Euclideon, which raised some eyebrows with their original engine presentation in 2011 has released a new presentation of their engine.

It looks like they target the geospatial industry instead of the gaming industry at this point.

Interesting.

Shame they couldn't afford a working microphone though, it sounds terrible.

that is pretty sweet.  I didnt have sound unfortunately, but it seemed like on the "creative" aspect it did not look all that great (but, I suppose theyre not game devs), but on the "scanning" side, it looked incredible, which does look promising should they decide to release a client for game developers.

Imagine the possibilities for flight or military simulations, flying or fighting in 100% geologically accurate terrain in anywhere in the world? Pretty sweet.  Or I dont know, downloading data about Mars and running around on there lol.

Like I said, didnt have sound so I might not be getting the whole picture, but I think I got the gist of things.

He's right, the sound is bad. That buzzing you hear is never good

If this tech actually works like they boast it would be amazing

This thing is just vaporware, has been for absolutely years,  why do you think they disable the comments section.

There was a thread about this like 6 months ago and to sum it up, this tech is useless for gaming. And disabling comments for his video tells me that he's full of shit.Travis_Odell

The entire IT'S A SCAM thing comes from Notch, who couldn't even make a Java game run well.

Carmack was on board back then and is supporting them now too. id Tech 6 is going to use voxels. CryEngine 3 uses them for terrain. Unreal Engine 4 used voxel cone tracing for indirect illumination but the feature was canned because it was too difficult to run on current GPUs - it will surely return a couple of years from now.

The problem with voxels is animation. Euclideon had animation prototypes up and running. Physics and deformation are already proven to work by other voxel engines.

Euclideon got government funding, hired people from IBM, THQ, Mincom and others, expanded and this program is their first available product.

It's easily the best of its kind and it's going to be a hit in the geospatial industry.

[QUOTE="KABCOOL"][QUOTE="Travis_Odell"] There is no Cpu or card on the market that can render 50 billion points of laser scanned data in real time. Were not there yet.Travis_Odell

Great on them, I hope they have created what they claim to have created. That's a pretty excellent looking product for a construction and/or architectural company.

Yeah I dont trust Notch who even decided in the first place that he should make a game in Java. Lol. Also C4 engine uses voxels for terrain. I don't understand why people listen to Notch for technological advice, he decided to make a 3d game in java. His opinion on graphical advancements is void.

Yeah sounds like hes speaking underwater.

I thought they were dead too. I hope they succeed and prove my doubts and the haters wrong.
