I'm thinking that until computer hardware can keep up with the rendering requirements of a modern game engine (that is, a voxel-based engine that performs similarly to a contemporary vector-based one), there will have to be some kind of middle ground. Maybe do skeletal computation based on voxel forms (considering that even at this resolution, these are the best looking ragdolls I've ever seen!!) underneath a traditional vector model.
I hope this is a real ray caster. If so - my respect. Voxels - technology of future. Polygon graphics is just a set of focuses to make illusion of 3D. In voxel engines there will be no need of textures, light models, front and back faces etc etc etc...everything will be done by ray caster. Millions of rays coming from player position into the game world and colliding with real 3d objects! Ah...it's so cool. I remember very well that "ray caster" program from Lamothe's old book. It rocked.
1st. We need to shrink the cubes. 2nd. We need to have more on screen at once. 3rd. We need to add Physics. 4th. We need to add EPIC graphics. And then the worlds best engine to date.
@Beholder505 It's actually very new as shit tech. Every pixel was an atom. As in, no polygons like modern games. In the future, this could allow for amazingly realistic physics as well as graphics that blow away anything we have ever seen. Of course, this eats up memory, so this is the highest detail technology allows.
@DmdWasserTanzt easy, draw an array, it does it all for you. somthing like for(int i=0;i<17;i+1) <- that code gives an array to 16 different variables, which is i. u can control stuff so easily using the for() function. :p
@SIycan basicly minecraft but with cubes as little as 1cm (you can see how big they are on the metal grate door he is destroying with a knife). volumetric pixels they are called, and can go even lower than that, but taxes the PC alot the smaller they get.
@kardas666 overcomplicated that one didnt you? im sure if you have any common sense that would come to you right off. Not trying to annoy you btw just my opinion.
This is like what Minecraft has done, only on a much much larger scale. Imagine the little pieces of the level as like Minecraft blocks, and it's much easier to understand.
@iEatPorkchop I wouldn't say that this is "like what Minecraft has done", since Minecraft is in no way shape or form related to voxel technology. It would be much more accurate to just imagine a volumetric pixel.
@DUDEiFAIL THUMBS UP IF YOU ARE AN AVERAGE PERSON WHO IS JUST WATCHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO AND GLANCED DOWN AT THE COMMENTS TO SEE THIS ONE AND GAVE IT A THUMBS UP BECAUSE YOU AGREE
And this is only the beginning of what gaming graphics could look like in the future when we can run games with small blocks that are the size of atoms that most have unique information.
@DrDiablo36 The smaller they make them, the more they need to fill in a cubic meter. The more they need to fill in a cubic meter, the more memory gets taken up.
@UkanIos I hope you're kidding. Bush is the one who put this country in debt and started the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as did a bunch of other crap that no one wanted. Osama Bin Laden was already killed under Obama's presidency, so the war is (hopefully) close to being ended by him, and he's working on the debt crisis. I mean, he's one dude and there are a ton of idiots in charge of this country that clearly aren't helping at all.
@DarthVadre12 the 19th and 20th centuries. Again, though, who knows what sources you can trust. I guess i actually did prove that you're right. Well, maybe not. It doesn't say if that theory is still used. I also don't think autism had been diagnosed yet.
@DarthVadre12 Ugh. I'm really not sure. You're probably right, and i really don't feel like proving you wrong if you aren't. I'm sorry that i don't feel like figuring out if i am wrong and consequently agreeing with you. Wait, did i use consequently incorrectly there? Eh, i don't want to look it up. Who knows what sources you can and can't trust. I wonder how you determine mental age? Oh, just reread the article. Standardized tests. It also says that that theory involving mental age was used in
@MrDinoJess I know alot about art? Im studying to become a texture artist so i find it rather insulting that he calls himself a texture artist when he isn't..
@chacaron03 We'd need nano sized processors, super coolants and petabytes of ram for that, for every render the CPU must speak to the GPU and store it in the RAM meaning you need a fast motherboard aswell. We are years and years and years away from something like that as we cannot even produce hardware of this caliber, computers are a new thing and have advanced a lot, but there is a long way to go.
@chantaclear there might be still be hope with this new kind of tech called quantum computers, it uses the strange physics of atoms to send info millions of times faster than today's tech, computer tech might make this breakthrough tomorow or 20 or 50 years from now, but when that happers the face of the earth will never be the same, lol i should make movie trailers
@chacaron03 Hehe, Quantum computers (If possible, which I doubt) Would not be that useful as the energy travels fast enough already, it's just the amount of bytes. Which are groups of on/off states which tell everything what to do (Binary :P) but quantum entangled atoms could be used as binary because the states are always the same, if something could read the charge you would have FTL comms and a whole new way of computing because of the strength of the charge.
My jah! All those bullets he had to load that guy's face with, lol! But, me, personally, I would take low graphics over good graphics for the sake of good gameplay. And this game most certainily looks good and fun to me, because it has a Classic-Appeal with it... Sadly, the World wants a FPS with graphics that could melt your eyes out of the socket... Such a shame. Hardly anyone nowadays wants good gameplay or anything besides a FPS. Edit: Can't wait for Skyrim, baby!
Hmm, here it uses squares for every particle and simply makes them change color and disapear... how would it look like if it used different pre-made particles?
A picture of Bush next to a picture of Hitler? Super-subtle political commentary, dude! And this is made by the guy who wrote the BUILD engine? Fucking awesome.
Unlimited Detail certainly looks interesting. It would certainly be less resource intensive than the path tracing method which the in-dev Voxelstein 3D build currently uses (again, look for screenshots in the JonoF thread, it's miles ahead of this tech demo). The proof's in the pudding: If it's a scam it won't survive for long. Word of mouth, and all that. I sure hope it's not, though. It would be awesome to see voxels finally breaking through to mainstream graphics.
The bad graphics in this game are caused largely by A) Lackluster art (sorry apegomp!) and B) Lackluster rendering engine.
If you want to see the full potential of a voxel engine, search for the "Voxelstein 3D (Continued)" thread on the closed JonoF boards, the devs have posted some awesome screens there with a new engine that uses path tracing (ray tracing on steroids basically). Beware though, the content is pretty disgusting and/or NSFW.
So why can't we save surface voxel patterns to vertex texture sheets? Then when you put your face against the wall or get close enough to the floor or hold an object, you can enjoy the masses of quality but still retain a large view distance with plenty of unique props and geometry.
this game looks terrible. and im not whining about the graphics. one example is how you shot the soldier to face he was like "oh my, i was shot. ill run away"
Oh God... Imagine if Minecraft was rendered with Voxels. World saves would be like 17GB+ Depending on how many voxels were used per square inch or so.
