DirectX-11 vs UDK DirectX-9

[themassau]

i heard that the card that are now out are the first generation and that the next will be a lot more powerfull ati said that they would make there teselation better like 4 times (probably 2times) so it will reach further now it is only tessellated when you are close enuogh i really can't wait till we get even stronger pcs

[kaplis117]

serch for parallax occlusion maps better tehnology

[snarfbot]

thats parallax mapping dang, this is actual geomentry

[dangi12012]

Dx10 make Textures look 3d, but from the side they are flat.

DX11 makes Textures 3d so you see stones for example from the side.

[kommandojoe]

Perfect example of the DX10 is in STALKER, look at the brick walls ;)

[Noobfryer]

STALKER Clear sky has some of one of my favorites when it comes to DX10 use.

[xuseonceanddestroyx]

@dangi12012 so is this like a three dimensional bump mapping?

[Independentsoul85]

mipmaping = lod for textures.. for u fags.. blender3d ftw dont talk shit

[Reloaded211]

I don't understand why everyone is accepting this as something revolutionary. Tesselation is a process of subdivision and triangulation of polygons, and videocards does this already for ages. At least in OpenGL, there's a tesselator object which basically does subdivision of polygons.

[mupp33n]

But not at the same degree, this does it to the extreme..

[quatzi08]

looking awesome dude

[wdowa94]

Tesselation tesselation- Tesselation is in DX10 too DX11 IS TWEAKED DX10 xD

[TheFlow666]

That's why it's called DX11 and didn't get a new name... ;)

[riveraluciano]

in a way....tesselation is in pretty much every game out there, it's called level of detail hehe, when you get closer to something, it will look more detailed, i don't know what is the difference between tesselation and LoD, if someone can explain me i'll be thankfull

[Fattyboombah1]

@ riveraluciano

Level of detail is processed in software where as tessellation is processed in hardware improving performance and quality. Well that what I get from a lot of people.

[riveraluciano]

thanks for the answer :)

[DasJev]

as far as i know

LOD = is for Textures only

Tesselation = for Polygons only

[avynian]

@DasJev

Mip Mapping = detail of textures

Tesselation = complexity of polygons

LOD is not a specific technology, it is more a concept. Near objects get a high level of detail, farther objects get a lower level of detail. You can use Mip Mapping and Tesselation to implement LOD.

[mupp33n]

DX10 doesnt have tesselation, if those cards did, Unigine would work on them with Tesselation on, but you know whaT? They dont.

[wdowa94]

Read about Dx10 or tesselation on ati 2xxx

It was in 2008- DX11?? No DX10

[mupp33n]

DX10 doesnt have REAL tesselation, there are different types of it, if there was then they'd be using it, they got reasons not to.

[wdowa94]

@mupp33n

Real tesselation- Hahaha you are funny

Tesselation is some complicated mip-mapping, just mip-mapping with trinagles. Trinagles needs more power, so microsoft made DX11, and Ati made hd5xxx for Microsoft xD

[mupp33n]

Ati didnt developt the 5x series for Microsoft. Why would they? They arent gettin paid by MS.

Triangles = more detail.

No triangles = Cod4.

[TheKSProduction]

wait so i don't get it......tessellation is used in actual games??? really smooth models??? smooth everything???

[kruze1994]

o shit FPS too high :DDDDD

[super6plx]

anyone else tried the unigine DX11 tesselation tech demo? doesn't it feel like oblivion in the way you move around? I hope they use this for elder scrolls V :3

if not, elder scrolls VI because they're already developing TES V :P

[ReonEclipse]

yup, 5 confirmed DX11 games and 3 of them are going to be out by the end of the year with one already out, things are looking good for DX11. around 8 rumored games that will support DX11 as well (later in 2010 tho). can't wait XD

[aberkae]

I knew this game will support dx 11 thats already 5 games at least that will support dx 11 tell Nvidia to stop talking shi and bring out Ferni

[roshawn1111]

lol they suck anyways

[TRUE28850]

lol

[roshawn1111]

lol wat they do

[MartianJonn]

It looks really impressive how the tesselation changes in realtime.

[point6000x]

@MartianJonn raytracing in realtime would be cool =)

[podtech115]

Thank you for showing us this.
