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

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.

Well, Eve Online have a lot of objects to tessellate, I bet there tons of different asteroids, it is a mmorpg with alot of ships and objects ... but CLOD is different.

You can obtain a huge visual impact just bump mapping the water and then tessellate it, not a huge task here.

The main problem is tessellating planes and objects, and it´s the texture displacement caused by the tessellation, explained here :

It will mess panel lines for example, but there tech to fix this.

A recently AMD demo (Leo) showed Ptex and PRT Technology that is nothing but texture displacement correction by hardware, explained here :

http://developer.amd.com/samples/dem...TimeDemos.aspx

It was used to correct the texture of the face, shirt and the ears for example, all in real time.

So there still room for hope

Yes it looks promising. Unless of course Nvidia only decides to make more of those million vertice concrete barriers again like in Crysis 2, in which case it's pointless.

So nvidia physx or amd ptex

Hopefully they will come to some sort of arrangement and the technology will become available to all... Yeah I know wishful thinking

Why? to have a flat surface tessellated? bump mapping does not alter geometry
