Real-time planet rendering VI

[Digital0destruction]

Did you spend $800 on a video card or something?

[cntfntcreation]

j'ai télécharger le programe space engin mais je saisrien faire avec je sais pas il manque un plug-in est ce que vous pouvez m'aidé

[Jianju69]

Epic.

[superotherguy1]

Holly crap O.O

[Luixxxd1]

FBI Sent me to tell you that they want they'r PC back... NOW!

.

[philfort2]

Wow, that was amazing!

[Kvokki]

This guy probably died, latest activity on july..

[pufixas]

looks amazing, good work!

[drzendoom]

wow, respect. 

[TheodenN]

Imagine making a Lord Of The Rings game with the full map integrated into it. It would have been fun to explore favorite parts of the world.

[MattMcCool]

This looks an awful lot like Just Cause 2, which isn't bad at all.

Did they use something similar to this in their engine?

[cyberen]

Freaking amazing! Were you inspired by Spore?

Is this an open-source thing, cause I think if everyone was able to generate things like this we could have a whole universe of planets to play with someday, whether its in movies, shows or video games.

So is your team going to add more plants, north and south poles and maybe some critters?

[Etheral1234]

You need to make each of the trees drop a shadow. Doesn't have to be one generated in realtime, just do a little dark overlay under every tree and it'll make the forests look amazing.

[Limbonius1st]

I really want the terrain editing thing, where can I get it?

[kwang1imsa]

This is absolutely incredible.

[PICLex]

and on the eighth day he said, aw fk it.

[Ortheos2006]

What tears me up inside is the fact that this wont work on ati cards. Come on now chaps, get with the program.

[ShamblerDK]

@Ortheos2006 I understand why they would choose not to do this on ATi-cards as ATi is known for crappy drivers. ATi = speed & price, nVIDIA = stability & compatibility. As a developer I'd definitely choose the latter as I'd hate to work around driver problems every time I created 3D. As a gamer I also choose the latter as I value stability and compatibility above all else. I have never seen an ATi-card without issues, be it drivers or hardware but I have seen plenty of perfect nVIDIA-cards.

[Ortheos2006]

@ShamblerDK

I have had absolutely no driver issues with my 5850 on any game.

[super6plx]

@ShamblerDK I've never had an issue with my ATI card, although I am fairly late into the ATI game having my first one a 6970. that being said, ATI drivers can be installed over the top of eachother whereas if you even dare install a new nvidia driver over the old one without first removing the old ones thoroughly, instant bluescreen only reparable via safe boot. granted once you knew how to properly do it it wasn't an issue, but it is nice to not have to worry about that any more

[Armageist]

In-fricken-credible....

[ChudFapper]

This si what Dwarf Fortress or Minecraft should look like.

[Kvokki]

@ChudFapper no they shouldn't.

[ZER0H8CK]

dude - you are amazing

[munda13ify]

The feutre of RTS and RPG gaming starts here

[xphreakyphilx]

@Amzezk I would guess yes, just change the tree image.

[brianhaddad]

I love this.

[howarc13]

all of the sudden.. Just Cause 2 doesn't feel so big

[Judahmangi]

U jelly, Crysis?

[swordofkings128]

I was like HOLY SHIT when he zoomed out of the forest and went into the icey mountains.

Hopefully videogames will have worlds like this eventually... The problem: How would developers detail an entire world? It would takes 5+ years...

[nickrohn93]

@swordofkings128 it would take much, much, much longer than 5 years. I would say on the magnitude of thousands.

[GamersGuideline]

@swordofkings128 They might not have to, developers are looking more into randomly generated stuff, like cities, forests, etc. They could create content and leave the computer to detail the world as it sees fit. But that's in a while. I believe that it will happen though, but what use would it be in a game? Unless it's a flight simulator or something like that, I mean honestly can you imagine THIS as a Call of Duty map, haha! But seriously, it'd be awesome to have a free roam game on this!

[Patapom3]

Eric ? C'est toi Eric ? Ca va bien ?

[Amzezk]

can it make different style trees?

[SpazzyMcGee1337]

SimCity 40,000?

[resdtdgf]

Awesome!

[ghune]

ARma !!

[navuta]

Should be used on the next fligh simulator!

[navuta]

nice

[navuta]

Should be used to the next real flight simulator !

[llRoBoBinHoll]

OMG, good job!!!

[bergice1]

This is amazing.

[FOGoticus]

Your poor pc must have commited suicide after this render...

[gustavohuink]

Minecraft 2! *trollface*

[lost4468yt]

Very good apart from the fact that all the trees look to identical :(.  Also it doesn't look realistic when the water hits the shore. Pretty fucking epic though.

[harrowbits]

they should use this for minecraft, it's probably faster xD

[Igneous01]

i have to admit im amazed by the scale of this engine, im not sure if your using sprites for the textures when zoomed out far enough but it looks extremely photo realistic. Even the draw distance looks amazing. This is the future for engines, i only hope the computer power will be available in the near future.

[Jacnas]

This is awesome but the lack of vegetation around the trees does make it look a bit unrealistic.

[ultramediaAustralia]

@Jacnas

A little, but still, the forests are pretty damn nice. The only other planet engine that does proper forestation like this is outerra...

[zbarsky]

The realtime terrain altering reminds me of the 'Populous' video game, from the eighties/nineties.

[Cavemanbennett]

a mixture of tesselation and vertex buffer objects would really optimize performance.....I'm a newbiew maybe i is wrong?

[Cavemanbennett]

the world needs more mathematicians and programmers. If we have an extremely high concentration of these things, reality itself will soon be copied into the virtual realm...

[tomaselvis]

Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg... etc.

[selearemus]

3:54 looks like the face on mars LOL

[PLAlfa]

how the fuck it that even posible to rander that in rea time?, how manny poligon would it that be in 3d max.. its creazy  ,,, i whis this technology could be use in games like dragon ball raging blast

[Kridian01]

@PLAlfa: Corrected English: "How the fuck is that even possible to render that in real-time? How many polygons would that be in 3D Studio Max... it's crazy! I wish this technology could be used in games like Dragon Ball Blast."

There you go.

[PLAlfa]

@Kridian01 thanks dude that much of help from your side ,, from now on i will remember that I need constant help from the others to be understood. tell me 1000 times that iam wrong and maybe i'll learn something

[harrowbits]

@PLAlfa I'd guess the detail decreases with the distance between camera and objects, so there would be that much less polygons considered & displayed

[Unclevertitle]

Awesome.

[programering]

Impressive!

[ExtremeTeddy]

Impressive stuff. Keep up that fantastic work.

[shadmar9]

wow, amazing work :)

[visnevskiscom]

roads construction is amazing.

[UntrustedSource]

You defiantly should help out the guys at Outerra. Your water physics are sick!

[Grandmaster789]

looking pretty impressive!

So what's the next thing you're working on? Anyway, keep up the good work :)
