DX11 Tessellation Demo [Eve Online]

[Buchon]

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

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....
