Here is a presentation for OnLive. If this sevice really is successful it will completely reshape Videogames and how they are made. <div></div><div><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/gamertagradio/videos/160/"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 226px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421391842839305298" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nCLBPEdIVtk/SzynKESjHFI/AAAAAAAAABE/NgBdq9308ac/s320/onlive.jpg" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5018242464643124408-2965319163752549464?l=real-timetech.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pain_gatenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018242464643124408.post-35082030477255615022009-12-29T15:08:00.000-08:002009-12-30T05:38:26.794-08:00Great article at <a href="http://www.geek3d.com/">geek3d.com</a> referencing the cryengine presentation from Siggraph 2009. Seems like the technique is somewhat similar to pre computed radiance transfer without the pre computation ;) It really looks like its doing alot with just calculating one bounce.

Some really cool stuff like the "Interactive foilage actor" and "Material vertex shader control" Vertex offsets in shader, based of vert weights is a great way to simulate physics on the cheap . This also ties into wind actors placed int hte level...pretty sweet. <div align="left"></div><div><a href="http://www.udk.com/download.html"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420804591592994530" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nCLBPEdIVtk/SzqRDi609uI/AAAAAAAAAA0/EkYZ3WXZ6eE/s320/PushingCropped.jpg" /></a><br /></div><div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5018242464643124408-7269324481113438237?l=real-timetech.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>pain_gatenoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018242464643124408.post-36008568721074470902009-08-17T12:00:00.000-07:002009-08-17T12:05:50.242-07:00Choas group dropping the hammer on some real time ray trace goodness. this is looking very impressive.
