Atmospheric Scattering in Blender Game Engine

[varuun123]

This is simply DEVINE!" LIKE"

[Bicho04830]

two people tried to move the sun

[tyrannorexaur]

Great, I should study this further for future reference. Thanks pal for the nice blend.

[WheezyMasta]

Awesome work

[nemisisbeta]

This is absolutely beautiful, is this all in blender or are there some other things working here?

[ytSpoiler]

When I'm watching this I'm feeling like a superman.

[AnKlMa]

The demo does not work in 2.5x no?

[blakepeary]

once you install blender and download the demo how do you start it?

[MetroidChild]

were do you find the place he starts at?

[Bukuzoid]

Wow!!!

[x3618x]

simply epic



[Wookiee81]

To nice not to make a tute mate... you did this to yourself.

[plaina]

Really cool!

[gaiuscassius]

amazing :). It would be great to see a tutorial but u prabobly don't want to share your secrects with others, I respect that ^^

[VaygrX]

Is funny that there's a video of Cry Engine 3 in the suggestion list XD

[MirceaKitsune]

Plainly stunning work! That also seems to be a great method for animating a day / night cycle in BGE of lovely quality.

Only have two issues with it: It doesn't work in Blender 2.5.x, just 2.4. When I hit P in 2.5, I can't move the camera with any of the keys. Also, when I get close, I can't get the terrain to offset, and all is flat. How did you do that please?

[sweftboy101]

pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaz make tutorial for this efffect

[dberube4]

I call hax. You can manipulate the sun. :d

Good job. You got a new tumb☺.

[swe449agge]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!



[JiiCeii]

NICE ! GG !

[Traumatizn]

I would love to know your tech specs of your computer -- especially the graphics card and processors that you use. I have an ATI Radeon HD 3200 and AMD Phenom II x4 Quad.

[steeloavenger]

Better yet... do a tutorial so i can do it myself LOL!

[steeloavenger]

This is fantastic. Do some games for Linux, man!!!

[pufixas]

looks like crysis

[legand6]

wow!



[morphinapg]

This is extremely impressive. Wow. I don't even this I can achieve proper atmospheric scattering in render lol.

[amdlintuxos]

very very very impressive!

[FuntaDan]

5 star video :D

[ShakeZulaTheMicRula]

This is spectacular... I don't know what to say except this is just amazing work.

[john81078]

man, that's cool! :-)

[HiroStarcraft2]

Tutorial 

[VaygrX]

1 Person Computer Crashed while running this :D

[Ironmanfan147]

google earth in the year 3000

[TechnoStickmen]

IF I FIND OUT WHO RATED THIS VIDEO DOWN... I'll do something... not very nice

[fastonfeat]

Question: where are the mountains when I download the file?

[hgee1985]

@fastonfeat Did you find them :/

[fastonfeat]

@hgee1985 Nope; it's basically just an icosphere with globe picture attached.

[roejames12]

I like it, how'd you do it?

[contmike]

Dude! That's crazy!!:D I love it. But the download link is not working:(

[Ne0mega]

finally, some fitting music to a demo.

[JoungYseze]

this is damn nice!

[vizualbanditz]

@waptek yeah u re right..

[martinsupitis]

@vizualbanditz

uh yea.. i updated the download link

[vizualbanditz]

link error..

[vizualbanditz]

yeah.. i cant download the file..

[shukfahid]

v.nice is this in RT using blender game eng? im going to DL that biz now :D nice music too!!

[MMOPalace]

how did you do that???

[tinyash11]

I wish our sun raised that fast -.-

[TheFXGuy]

this is the best demo ever. This shows the true power of the BGE.

[burster8boostar]

this must have used so much ram on the computer.

[JohnThePunisher]

so this entire world has citys and stuff??

[Scarlov87]

mmmm its erased :S

[Scarlov87]

OMG that is pro dude that is pro awesome

[HaterBoy2]

Could you upload it to a mirror? The download link doesn't work anymore for the atmospheric scattering. I've been searching everywhere for the demo but all links no longer work :(

[bossman8603]

OMG

[mojoj03y]

That is crazy. the link on the page isn't working sadly, I really wanted to try this out. can you post another link?

[ronstero]

I can't play it for some reason, just has a white sphere.

[skralogy]

Is it possible to model a whole open world like this and add cities from city builder to be played in a game, its ambitious but what would be needed?

[animelubbor432]

@skralogy possibly. and youd need A LOT of code.

[martinsupitis]

@skralogy

well possible it is..

and yeah a lot of coding for optimization would be needed.

[DTMidian]

@skralogy Check out the Infinity engine tech demo from 2010. From space to planet surface and everything inbetween. The optimizations are insane. If people like Martin and the single person behind the Infinity engine are allowed to continue...well the future for gaming looks fucking awesome.

[WanderingKidz]

@skralogy if u have enough time skill and a good computer

[2centthompson]

@skralogy hey if your serious about this i need help with this im makeing a indie game and i need programing help i know little but i want to make a game like this for xbox i have a band that is makeing me music for the title screen and some artists makeing me the game cover together me and you could rebuild the earth on this

[teerware]

ถ้าผมต้องการไปทางทิศตะวันออก ต้องเดินไปทางไหนเนี่ย

[Ze0shaif1]

no lag??? how powerful your computer is??? I have really powerful myself but it still lag like hell if there is more than 50 spheres

[jimsanim8orstuff]

tutorial please?

[Intosia]

amazing!

[Partykartoffel123]

AWSOME

[RavingKunaiX]

Whoa dude what version of CryEngine is that? Oh wait...

[andrew1421l]

This shows that Blender is very powerful

[HeatherPoltergeist]

sound broken 0:04

[RollingKadio]

CCCOOOOOLLLLLLL!!!!

[estebanblack]

HELP! I can't find the mountains :(

[TheFXGuy]

That is awesome. Period.

The mountains were movie quality and the earth itself was just simply amazing.

[IPVentertainment]

Foking awesome!

[wtfmaker2596]

cool but i wish you zoomed in on the buildings making the light would of been cool to see

[Deretythe]

@wtfmaker2596: He didn't model the whole earth! o_O

He only made the mountains for detail, but everything else on the Earth was a flat texture. If he zoomed in, you'd only see a blurred image :p

[wtfmaker2596]

@Deretythe lulz it would be awsome if he did though

[honkthedank]

How long would it take to get this skilled to do something like this?

Oh and by the way, did you like zoom out to look at the planet? Like do you have some sort of system that if you go far enough into the planet you enter land, and if you zoom out of the terrain area, you see the planet?? Coz if so, that's awesome.

[xThaWolfx]

epic

[rr97khl]

Friggin' awesome.

[Aswarp]

Best choice for soundtrack!! :)

[meenboy12]

wow man i wanna be that good one day ^.^

[xWintermutex]

Well done. Which paper did you follow?

[Pr3DaToR15]

amazing works....still upload the blend...with the mountains please...

[tyteen4a03]

hmm...the link doesn't seem to work anymore.

[theking199012]

awesome

[parkkk123]

Ho ทำได้ไง

[apostroph3d]

It's so nice to see, you been a magician's code, I hope that your work

will be included in future versions of blender!

[foeaxe]

I must say that terrain is beautiful!

[midnightzokka]

lol who did this ? its pretty nice

[Washingstone]

soon those calculators will be able to copy this planet, so we could zoom in and out like google earth or maps but in 3d !

[tigranater]

That was beautiful. I have never been this emotional over a video, especially an example of programming. But in every way that was beautiful, just bravo dude.

[NobleValerian]

Another score for proving Blender capable, very impressive! :D

[JaymeeGee123]

this is amazing

[HENTAI125]

its beautiful... the greatest thing i have ever seen...

[b3ngii]

man this looks so awesome but my computer doesnt support glsl so I cant explore the file

[Gviros]

i just wish they stop making junk PC games and just start developing OpenGL and open source games that will run on every platform on earth the tessellation their making a huge deal for the Directx 11 is available in OpenGL for 3 freakin years before DX11....

[244jovan]

@Gviros they should make their games in Blender.....xD

[superkellerman8D]

@Gviros Except there's a huge version difference on a lot of cards... For example my card has dx9.0c and opengl1.4. Since more games are being developed in dx, more graphics cards are developed for dx, and the manufacturers are not putting their money into ogl. And since less graphics cards support decent versions of opengl, more games are being developed for dx. It's m$'s vicious cycle to make money. It's really a shame. OPENGL ALL THE WAY!

[Dramen93]

I downloaded the file and it's working fine, although I was wondering where the mountains you had in this video were put. I can't seem to find them.

[reddaygr]

I want to see the mountains too...

[VaygrX]

i dont see nothing in the blend file

[Ulysses182]

I downloaded "atmosphere.blend" file.

What now?

What do I need to do to explore Earth like in this video?

[tek5828]

How the FUCK did you get halo lighting in GE?

[VaygrX]

mmm...mmm...OMG!!!is really good but i dont see nothing...

[martinsupitis]

what do you mean? Video isn`t showing?

[lagemegnorsk]

@martinsupitis it is dark i think he means

[zebidinofus]

this is insane! how was this done?! this must need a crazy powerfull graphics card. I had an idea for a kind of dynamic loading realtime world. it would work from maps and the conture lines to create huge vast mountianous landscapes for the whole world! it could probably work off google maps or something. it would be a fairly basic look but i think it could be realy cool!

[martinsupitis]

It should work well on mid-range graphics cards like GeForce 8600GT. And dynamically loading the whole world is not that easy to do :).

[ciscokitty8]

@martinsupitis well they somehow made it work in the flight simulator games, though i guess they just loaded the items only as far as the camera could see, otherwise the computer would probably crash LOL

[Nvidbeast]

@martinsupitis i got gtx 260 ftw

[animelubbor432]

@zebidinofus put it this way. in the hands of a skilled user it can rival some modern games.

[zac856314]

@zebidinofus

ATI RADEON HD 4065

[TDProof]

lol if they made a game where you can be all the way on the ground to the space, like a sci fi type game they could totally use this

[youngdreofsc]

this is beautiful

[accuratesheep]

it's funny beacuse my sister thought it was real and wondered about the camera dangeling :D:D

+ she was very surprised about it flying over the valley :)

[blax100dk]

cool ! 5/5 :D

[Willificationify]

people arguing on youtube need lives :)

[cerwinthedoc]

Not that it matters at all in life, but I would probably slay you in Blender, seeing as how I went to college specifically for C++....

Please just let it drop, you're polluting this otherwise productive commentboard with drama.

PS: You made the "4.49" mistake several times in your comments. Just because you deleted them doesn't mean they didn't happen, noob.

[GlitchMasterSonic]

Uhh.... Maybe you should go to the nearst Hospital. You may be halusinating, majorly. All that I know is that the latest version of Blender is 2.50, and it isn't even out of alpha testing and programming yet... Man, you need to go to the E.R.

[onlyeyeno]

Cudoz...!!!!

Beyond words, Pic quality like great renders in realTime, absolutlety stunning...

[animatigital]

I am no expert on the Blender game engine, but this is definitely the best thing I have ever seen out of it. :-) Wow.

[GlitchMasterSonic]

All I can say is wow. This is absolutely amazing! This almost looks as if it was a render animation! It must have took you a LONG time to make this. You put so much work into it! This is proffesional work, you could invest on selling good, finished Blender 3D games. It says it on the Blender site that you can sell any of your Blender creations for profit, but, you must verify the customer that you made it with Blender 3D. NICE WORK. If this was possible... 20/5 stars!!

[abl131313]

do u think u cud make an updated version with 4.49 plz

[martinsupitis]

hmm, it is made in Blender 2.49, and should run fine.

What graphics card you have?

[abl131313]

yea but theres a big difference between 2.49 and 4.49.....i strongly believe that that is the problem. so if its not much trouble for you do u think u can download the 4.49 (latest stable version) and remake this 4 me because i really like wut u did.

[martinsupitis]

Are you from future? :D

Blender Foundation just released Blender 2.5 Alpha.

I believe I will have children and my own house at the time Blender 4.49 will come out ;)

[abl131313]

im so sorry lol i didnt notice the 4 in the begining. but still i dnt get the problem if we both r running the same version. all i get is white when i enter textured mode and i get a black screen when i try to play the game. also idk how to check wut kind of graphics card i have but ive done other bblender renders b4 nd they've worked and i even tried making a simplified game which also worked. hmmmm.....did u package the textures into the blend file?

[martinsupitis]

It is supposed to look black in textured mode. But it should look exactly as in the movie when you play game. It is most likely a Hardware problem. Do you get any errors in console after you press P? And yeah textures are packed in blend file.

[cerwinthedoc]

4.49? Oh my god guys, I think this guy has managed to discover time travel! DUDE POST A TUTORIAL!

Oh no wait, it's just a noob who just discovered Blender.

Carry on.

[abl131313]

who u callin a noob. anything i can make in blender can and will be 10 better than wut u do. dude get a life. and who the hell even was talkin to u in the first place. it was a 1 on 1 conversation between me and martin and suddenly the "real" noobs decide to barge in. wow. u seriously do need a life.

[cerwinthedoc]

I'm calling you a noob. And instead of taking a joke, you flipped out because of a comment. Relax kid. I'm sure you can do 10 better than anyone else here too. Haha. Whatever that means. Enjoy your Blender 4.49.

[abl131313]

i meant 10 times better. and yea if u read on u wud have seen that i corrected myself on the 4.49 thing. so maybe u should learn 2 read. and im not flipping out. im totally calm. =)

P.S. ur the noob, noob

[abl131313]

for some reason the downloaded file doesn't show any of the textures. everything is white in textured view. im running blender 4.49

[Wixokauitz]

don't be idiot,

you need play the game engine.

[abl131313]

ok now ur the idiot cuz i did play the game and ur replying to a comment made a week ago when apparently i have updated comments on my mistakes and that it still isn't working. so dont be calling ppl idiots until u kno who da real idiot is.

[Madmonkeythegreat]

wooooow :D

[digimikeh]

umhh weird... looks very real,,,,, how does an engine can handle this and that fast.... are you using cg shaders scripts maybe, i can´t understand, blender runs slow in my pc, the engine is a bit slow for that i´m doing, so i changed to unity 3d, but this video breaks all theories.....

[martinsupitis]

true, blender is slower than most commercial engines, but actually it mostly depends on person making the game, not engine itself.

[digimikeh]

yes, i think you tweak with scripts,, you are good programming , you easy can do interesting spacial educational things, like explore mars, solar system... and so on... very good !

7 / 5 stars..

[Nextwave1980]

Simply amazing. Hats off to you.. this is just amazing! Great job!!!

[NintendoGamer2293]

damn how long it take? very very very good!

[calmaveth]

Which version of Blender did you use BTW?

[martinsupitis]

2.49

[calmaveth]

Wow... absolutely amazing. The quality of the scattering is comparable, perhaps in the future could be even slightly better, than that in the Crysis Day/Night cycle. Someone needs do do a modern remake of Elite 2: First Encounters using the BGE with this in it - smooth ground-to-space movement FTW.

[javierdl]

Excellent sound track choice ;)

JDL

[soldieroscar]

awesome video

[art4med]

Thank you for your hard work!

Helps in shouting "BGE!" to the world.

[badoli]

This is beautyful....

just as beautyful as the Solaris Soundtrack ;-)

[Rtech]

Ummm this is way too cool. nice graphics btw

[drVitall]

stephenbowman18: you are stupid? Or just slow?

[stephenbowman18]

bitch dnt fuckin call me stupid i dnt kno wat the hell this stuff is i dnt spend my time on dis shit like u do judge someone else u will prolly get ur ass kicked so shut the fuck up dumb bitch

[stephenbowman18]

wat is this!!! someone please tell me wat is this

[Nikolay116]

atmopheric sattering and some other effects

[stephenbowman18]

what is that?

[TheHitez]

stephen, a person took the software Blender3D, coded in some graphical effects into its game engine and put it on display for us all to see!

[stephenbowman18]

wich means?

[BuenDiaJocho]

it is a representation of the world with a 3d program called blender. Its kinda hard, no it´s kinda IMPOSSIBLE to do that. Its an excelent modeling, texturing, rendering, etc. production. you blender users can understand me. Is a realistic atmosphere game engine. This means that he made the world, with all the things in. (no cities) its a beautiful artwork. Good workmartinsupitis!

[stephenbowman18]

oh so he made a virtual re creation of some parts of the world?

[BuenDiaJocho]

yes, hope you understood!

bye

[stephenbowman18]

alrite

[ElectricCactus]

This is why I want to be a programmer...

[LeafyBugSensei]

wtf is this witchcraft?!

[sXeish]

This is incredible... i always wanted to know how to do things like this.

Martin how did you learn how to do this kinda stuff?

[sirwut]

move the sun closer, i want to see it burn lol

[Bloodshedood]

dam im just imagining so many uses for this

[JakeTheRocker1]

dude cool it with the lockerz shit

[osmodivs]

What game console can handle these effects in real time?

[Neomex000]

Um... It's modelling program called blender, in fact it isn't fast and optimisied.

[bnimph10]

Playstation 10

[migero2]

can we have a blend with the ground like in the video ? not just the globe

[shizaquife]

I cannot find those mountains at all in this demo, did you add them yourself?

[martinsupitis]

yeah, but there will be a version with mountains soon

[migero2]

you know whats odd in this ? sun does not rotate around the earth ;p
