Real-time planet rendering VIII: forests (video of Eurographics 2012 paper)

[Peon21]

for the supreme commanders IX

[Neeesk]

fu...ing awesome!!!!

[naz1997]

Great, now I need to clean my pants.

[LordHilldenberg]

are you running this on NASA's super computer?

[TheJP3372]

@LordHilldenberg Nah that's too weak, probably Chuck Norrises.

[Kridian01]

Now, a transition solution from that height down to a forest view with detail rivaling that of the CryEngine 3 would be the PINNACLE of this tech. I know, one step at a time! Oh, by the way, where do I send this case of champagne?

[PolyphasicSleep]

Where you at Minecraft?

[TouristTrophyRecord]

2:55 Pause! WOW!

[TouristTrophyRecord]

O_O unbelievable! i want a vehicle simulator on this planet!

[mccauley404]

Bravo

[Armydude771]

Im not even going to try and ask your comp specs.

[Ne0Que]

@Armydude771 NVidia 470 GTX

[ttvdrad]

Very impressive!!

[samhblackmore]

This has some amazing potential, imagine an MMO set on this whole planet. Or an RTS, or an RPG

[DrunkenMunk123]

@samhblackmore a very good idea, but I want you to try to immagine the cost of the computer to run it and ur powerbill following that xD

[perfredelius]

Soon this will be all the trees that are left.

[LambdaDrS]

Warcraft 4 coming soon

[LambdaDrS]

@LambdaDrS i just cant help thinking of WC4 whenever y see new forest renderings xD

[jcromartie]

This looks great from 300 feet up, but I wonder how it looks on the ground? They seem to be very careful to avoid zooming in at that level.

[shiftplusone80]

nice... a bit too uniform, but nice.

[Intars5d]

Heck with dislikes. You, folks, just look at this tech-beauty!!

[ProfRat]

Very very nice indeed

[sk1e]

now make it to a game

[adrixshadow]

What sorcery is this?

[Kalawan88]

Oh damn this is beautiful.

[jh3rod]

Have you tried mixing grass in with the trees?

[TheTrueKiwii]

Id like to see this in minecraft.

[jKeppy211]

overgrowth FTW!!!!

[Ajedi32]

Alright Google, I want to see this on Google earth in the next five years. Ready, set, go!

[GolDLuffyTheAwesome]

That's extremely awesome.

[Threvlin]

Alright, I'm damned impressed.

[anfonyl]

@Wolfire sent me ;)

Looks very impressive, hope to see it implemented into games in some capacity.

[Miktar]

I'm not sure what the dislike on this video represents. Did the person hate trees? Do they take affront at wide open spaces being rendered with high detail in real-time? Do they dislike advancements in rendering technology? Did they have issue with the mouse cursor?

So many questions...

[Ajedi32]

@Miktar Did they slip and accidentally hit the dislike button?

[bmombaerts]

@Ajedi32

are they just trolling/hating

[1ucasvb]

@Miktar Maybe some guy who was working on something similar and went "fuck! someone did it first!"

[EmoryMDotCom]

@Miktar Epic tree video deserves epic tree voiceover, or at least some happy tree music.

[wookisouthafrica]

@Miktar jealousy probably

[playmedusa]

Can you imagine this technology applied to something like... SKYRIM! Now THAT would be a huge land to explore! :D

[NiallTL]

My god, that's incredible.

[starchsky]

oh i see
