DX11 Tessellation Demo [Eve Online]
 

After only a few games using it very light, and someone game using it as a gimmick, the real time tessellation is starting to take off.

Some tests reveals that nVidia are seriously pushing the real time tessellation so 2012 appears the year of when we will see his initially spread use, bringing us a incredible detail in models finally.

Here is a amazing video showing the real time tessellation possibilities in-game models, seriously detailed space ships and asteroids in this Eve Online demo, worth to see :

Interesting, but right at the end is the important bit.

5 man years to update their current graphics so that all objects can take advantage of tessellation.

Translation, no current game will be able to add tessellation and keep their profit margins anywhere near in the black.

For an all new game, sure it will be cool, but for our little sim, not gonna happen.

Where did the "5 years" come from?

And I hope your wrong about COD :( but they have already said tessellation messed up there models when they tried it so a rework would have to be done.

Oh and cool video, can't wait for the next eve addon :D

Here is a better video...

You should have posted a demo of water tesselation. One thing that could significantly improve the look of water in COD - especially down low. And this wouldn't take 5 man years too implement either....

Krupi, one of the voices in the video mentioned it.

Hmm, looks like I need my hearing checked :(

S!

EVE is one of my favorites, already for over 6 years. But what is concerning me is the "push of nVidia" in this title too. This means that we get the "The Way AMD is to Be Shafted" aka TWAT logo and a piece of code disabling certain features when a non-nV card is detected. Now they offer nV cards for in-game currency so what else.

Otherwise the presentation was interesting, but I have my doubts how the servers will cope and in fleet battles eye candy = lag fest and low FPS. Anyway interesting..wish I could have been at the Fanfest..

That looks simply amazing :D

Hey Flanker,


I recently got back into eve, I am a low sp character (only 7 million) but I am looking to join a corp once I have my logistic skills up to speed, do you know a good corp for newer players.

S!

Krupi, I would check EVE Online forums under Allaince/Corp Recruitment section. I think our corp has a minimum of 10-15mill SP to join, DAB.
