Re: Real or Unreal?
It would be virtually impossible to create a world that looks like that the way it's currently done though. Games already need hundreds of people to make, greater graphical detail only increases that.

Re: Real or Unreal?
That's where procedural routines come in; though it's in early stages now hopefully one day it'll be able to fill in a whole range of things such as textures or even layouts, taking some of the load off programmers.
By the way, you did read the bit about it taking some nine hours to generate? One frame? Long time before our computers can handle that.
And shouldn't this be in soft- and hardware?

Re: Real or Unreal?
Good grief...
Everyone except the top one looked real...
But getting that into a game would be difficult...

Holy s@#%!
They were corny, but apart from that, it`s insanely well done. PC games won`t have that good graphics until 2010, I guess.

I remember watching the movie UHF, they had a computer rendered scene with boxes for torsos. A 180 MGhz computer can run half life, which had better models. Eventually, we'll be able to run these kind of graphics. Procedural creation programs will probably be licensed like physics engines too.

I meant in the future. How many years? 20 or 30?
If it can be moved why not?And shouldn't this be in soft- and hardware?

If they're computer made they are great.

Re: Real or Unreal?
Not more than 10 years! I think you are underestimating tomorrows graphics.

Re: Real or Unreal?
Remember what took weeks to render in Shrek etc can now basically be done in real time on a standard computer. Give it a decade or so. Absolutely beautiful.
Would be a shame to get blood all over it shooting someone though. Have to find peaceful games to play.
