The amount of "atoms" they have in that still image is probably hard to render as it is, if it were to put in use in a game, it would probably take a super computer to fully animate everything. However it's great such a technology exists, because one of these days domestic computers will be able to run games using this tech.

interesting results for a software renderer, but the video only shows static geometry. I wonder if they're even able to handle animated objects..

and they mention the scene consists of more than 21 trillion points, lets say they store 4 byte for each point (color information, position, etc.) this would be ~100 TB of data right? so there must be some good compression going on there. ;p

If they manage to get atom animation and real time lighiting effects, this is going to be really good. I wonder how this technology translates into cpu usage and memory usage.

Surely it'll be dozens of years before an affordable domestic computer would be able to run these graphics.

That said, I can't wait to play something Fallout 3-esque with this

Are you serious? I'm astonished. It's called an Australian accent. Not to mention, the company can't control what the voice of their CEO sounds like. If it were a hoax (and I'm not saying it is or it isn't), it certainly has got nothing to do with the voice.

Wow talk about real life graphics. This is sick. But I don't think a GTX460 or whatever will be enough for this.

This is very interesting. I hope they are able to implement this into the gaming industry in the next 5 years.
Would be nice to see an "nonfictional" human scanned in.
Even if it is just static objects think of the things they can do to games about the world. You go into a game and visit scenery in Africa, after they come out with full animation this will be a big leap in the mmorpg world where people could escape into a completely realistic fake world.


Good luck to them.

I was sceptical the second I saw a technology company producing a Youtube video about ultra detailed graphics but didn't even produce it in HQ....

At least it gave me something to daydream about.

I now want to import myself into an "unlimited polygon" game. Preferably one rated "adult only", if you get my drift.

Should be ready in maybe a year, right? lol

My knowledge of the subject is very limited and I'd like to know if I'm getting fooled or if this really is the future of graphics in games.

You are being fooled.
Games don't have a limited number of polygons because it is hard for artists to draw polygons, but because it is hard to RENDER lots of polygons.

Their island has 21 trillion atoms... At 1 byte each, you'd need a 21TB graphics card...

These don't appear to be Voxels Gizmo, but instead pointclouds.


That's beside the point though -- while skeptical, I will be thrilled if these guys turn out a new revolution in 3D rendering techniques and efficient algorithms.

As for Gyth, modern rendering techniques use something called "Culling" this prevents the GPU from rendering anything not on the screen and within a certain 'draw distance'

That coupled with say, an efficient way to draw these 'atoms' in batches to the world could make this quite feasible.

This video is obviously made for people that don't understand as much about computers as the average TL poster seems to. That said it would still be awesome if this can actually work the way the say it can. It makes you wonder though, how far could the "real" graphics go? Could it get to the point where they are shooting at unsuspecting actors inside of scanners to get a realistic death scene?
