I guess it will just introduce scaling and scanning of objects, while remaining taxing to the hdd and ram. If you further think about, it is not unrealistic to be able to run such graphics on a high-end pc in two to three years. Yeah, static objects at the moment are easy, presumably lighting effects and such aren't that far off, the main issue is the calculation of animation, esp with for instance lighting effects. Currently a rough example of how the system works is that if you have a 1024x768 res screen it calculates 786432 pixels' worth of "data" through the objects on the screen. For relatively static stuff this is straightforward, as you only have to look at the object map and calculate what those pixels have to be. But then when you start adding effects, you have to calculate the motion of those objects/motion of those effects and factor that into the 786432 pixels' worth of data. That's a lot of realtime calculation that's needed, and given that games tend to be like 30+ fps that's REALLY a lot. This is why people atm are skeptical about it being able to run on current hardware (CPU/RAM/etc. not GPU), and why the engine needed to show efficient calculation to prove skeptics wrong. Unfortunately as the demo stayed on only static objects there was no indication about the higher level real-time calculation load, and so techie concerns regarding the industrial viability (ie. whether current hardware can actually pull it off) remains. For people who cried scam, though, the video (if you can understand the technical concept) makes enough sense that you accept the theory as viable and turn toward the logistics. | ||

you obviously haven't done any voxel animation if you think you can do realtime animations in a world like that at ANY playable framerate. i've seen single character models barely break 40fps being animated. | ||
