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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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... | ||

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. | ||
