Real time stormy ocean 3D

[GustavBok]

I guess the foam is based upon the hight of the hightmap?

[3DCarolina]

Amazing!!

One question, the foam is a "foam map"? I mean a geometry dependent solution that you store as a numbered still bitmaps.

Impressive work!!

[SpyWhoLovedHimself]

Amazing! Now add a fucking huge sea monster and a shaky ship with a cannon to fight the monster with!

[cyberarmy56]

only one thing missing! your camera (and cameraman) should be in a shaking ship and camera should move like you are in storm...

[CRYOmine]

that looks so dodgy :(

[Metalicalypse]

So fucking awesome.

[DarkAnimeWindSlayer]

Need DX 11 because the polygon look phony. :3

[Mkdesignx]

@DarkAnimeWindSlayer What does any of this has to do with DirectX?

The website states that it "relies on OpenGL v. 1.5 and CUDA technologies.".

And API has no saying on whether a polygon should look phony or not.

[DarkAnimeWindSlayer]

@Mkdesignx Statement wasn't meant to be taken serious. Learn the psychology of the internet community first then we talk.

[Mkdesignx]

@DarkAnimeWindSlayer The general assumption written by Bill Gates in most computer users is that DirectX >>> OpenGL.

So you'll excuse me if my eyebrows raise everytime I hear something along the lines of " DirectX makes [insert 3D application here] look much better". I'll jump on any occasion to make a stand, sarcastic statement or not. ;)

[DarkAnimeWindSlayer]

@Mkdesignx Apparently that how the internet community works mate and if I said OpenGL then most people will say "wut?" Using DirectX for my sarcasm line is more effective than OpenGL. The internet is full of wanking bunny shit and it will be hard to change due to the stubborn nature of human.

[DKM101]

@DarkAnimeWindSlayer Although someone that who talks like this with the name DarkAnimeWindSlayer does help to cover up the sarcasms.

[DarkAnimeWindSlayer]

@DKM101 Meow.

@Mkdesignx Hi there, DirectX10 has Stream Processors, OpenGL has pipelines, for full use of OpenGL you need all three pipelines (Pixel shader, vertex shader and geometry shader). Stream processors are unifide meaning every single SP can do each others job and that gives developers way more flexibility with their programming.

Hope you understand.

[Mkdesignx]

@crativ3 Hello, and what?

Your GPU has stream processors, not DirectX.

Your GPU has pipelines, they are inherent to the hardware.

Now I'd be damned and have a big ass beard if I knew every detail about both APIs, so I'm going to ask this one simple question. Since you seem to have used DirectX in the past, have you used OpenGL and experienced this decreased flexibility firsthand?

[crativ3]

@Mkdesignx What I meant was DirectX10 is the API USING the SP's (the previous DX used pipelines), and OpenGL is using pipelines and is more "primitive" (so they say), because of the use of pipelines.

the reason for the "DirectX makes [insert 3D application here] look much better" is because of the use of SP's.

and as I said, since their UNIFIED, each and everyone of them can do each others job.

[Mkdesignx]

@crativ3 What entices you to put USING in caps? What is DirectX 10 doing so awesome in comparison with OpenGL that it is USING (oh my gosh) the stream processors?

All what a stream processor does (which I refer to as shader processor by the way) is execute a shader, in other words a small program written in ASM or C-like language, interpreted with the help of the GPU's driver.

News flash, you can use shaders in OpenGL, and it involves a couple of function calls.

You still haven't answered btw

[crativ3]

@Mkdesignx you get more power from SP because of the amount a GPU has...

/watch?v=ujAFaGvqbeE

if you still cant see the use of SP's and what advantage they have compared to Pipelines.

Your question was if you have tested the difference? Well, have you? If you have, did you documented the test?

OpenGL can do everything DirectX can but thru pipelines (SP's proprietary Microsoft DirectX)

[Mkdesignx]

@crativ3 Hello, what have you been smoking? Microsoft fanboys' magazine monthly issue?

So.. SPs are proprietary, heh? Only DirectX can use them? Then how come I'm running my GLSL shaders on them as we are speaking, dimwit.

What right do you have to come here and trash talk an open-standard API, talk about inflexibility or whatever technical word came through your mind, when you admittedly didn't even bother testing it, and don't seem to know jack shit about either.

Are you even a programmer?

[Spartan043]

I feel... wet.

[coco2898]

@Spartan043

Hmmm... that's what she said.

[wolfgangouille]

This is awesome.

[GR3B3N]

nice, but not impressive

[lancerb]

@GR3B3N not impressive? its not pre-rendered like a toy story movie its real time 3D, which means it could be used in a video game during gameplay.

imagine playing cod modern warfare on that tanker stage and you see this to your left as your running for cover.

[GR3B3N]

@lancerb I can read. Thank you.

But still it doesn't make me say WOW.

[lancerb]

@GR3B3N maybe you dont like oceans?

[stinaandthewolf]

amazing. i love the translucent effect and the cresting foam

[Ashtrix2k8]

Just think what computer graphics can achieve this level of realism. Any seconds thoughts about being in the matrix? :P

[R4Zy3L]

If this would have been shown to people 10 years ago they would have said it's real.

[TheRealBlackHair]

Wow lovely ocean



[wholderby]

Wow man this looks really awesome - get some realistic camcorder camera movements in there and you really have something.

[nikidirector]

This Is A Beautiful Video

[freakd123]

looks nice but too unrealistic as waves are coming from like each direction, is it only me thinking that?

[ethanville]

@freakd123 ummm, waves do that out to sea

[Hypernl]

Wow, nicely made. This takes ocean rendering to a whole new level!

[theKing4720]

cool

[dgreen002]

great work

[Argo1516]

That is rediculously insane!
