November 9, 201213 yr Hi All, Was talking about scenery detail just 10 minutes ago with Chase on the AVSIM TeamSpeak, and I shared with him this video. It introduces real time rendering with unlimited detail, something that game engines find impossible today. It was uploaded last year and apologies if already posted. Cheers, Clem Happy Flying, Clem Wu Beta Tester for OZx, Iris Simulations and Shade.
November 9, 201213 yr Great stuff, Clem. Thanks. I wonder what it looks like today, a year later. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
November 9, 201213 yr forgot about that, yes another yr gone. I tellya, unless they also have some magic texturing tech, it'll be hell to texture atoms! But if they use some sort of randomized natural texturing, could be amazing. Simmo W, Melbourne, Ozhttp://www.youtube.com/user/id5556
November 9, 201213 yr Yes, the texturing on this engine has never been spectacular. Nor the effects applied to those textures.. Be interesting to see if this ever moves beyond the vaporware stage.

November 9, 201213 yr Moderator I remember watching the first demonstration video from 2010. It was very interesting to see the progress made. I wonder if they've ever actually completed and released their SDK, and if there are any game companies who're interested enough to invest time and money into this engine. Fr.

November 9, 201213 yr I remember a post on this on Gamespy or PCGamer or something. If I recall correctly there was still a bit of skepticism regarding these guys' claims. Patrick Houghton
November 9, 201213 yr Nah, I'm sure it'll be used in the future- just like the outerra engine! I hope to eat humble pie. That guys voice gets very irritating after awhile! Simmo W, Melbourne, Ozhttp://www.youtube.com/user/id5556
November 10, 201213 yr Nah, I'm sure it'll be used in the future- just like the outerra engine! I hope to eat humble pie. That guys voice gets very irritating after awhile! Of course the Outerra engine is actually out there in ordinary hands, and being used here and there. Also, the progress of the engine is very open and detailed on its forum. Should this engine reach that stage, I would be a lot more sanguine about its potential... We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

November 10, 201213 yr I figured that atom (dot) technology would be a better way of producing cloud effects in Flight Simulator, with dots comprising clouds you would actually be flying into something more like real clouds compared to flying into photographic images of the clouds.

November 11, 201213 yr Anyone remember Voxels? We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

November 11, 201213 yr Anyone remember Voxels? They worked fairly well for walking the deck of the ship in Man of War 2. Other ships were sprites. A group once did a 32 player game of the Battle of Trafalgar, with humans commanding 32 British ships. Pretty good for the day, but they wouldn't hold a candle to the later 3D ships in Pirates of the Caribbean Community Build Mod. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

November 11, 201213 yr I remember seeing that a long time. Isn't it a scam? I think the guy's voice gives it away.
November 11, 201213 yr Author I remember seeing that a long time. Isn't it a scam? I think the guy's voice gives it away. I hope it isn't! He could just have an enthusiastic voice but I can see where you're coming from. Happy Flying, Clem Wu Beta Tester for OZx, Iris Simulations and Shade.
November 11, 201213 yr I hope it isn't! He could just have an enthusiastic voice but I can see where you're coming from. The voice doesn't sound enthusiastic to me, just... stupid. Not serious.
November 11, 201213 yr Moderator I remember seeing that a long time. Isn't it a scam? I think the guy's voice gives it away. Since "they" aren't soliciting for investments, in what way could it possibly be a "scam?" Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
