THATS 3d? holy polygons batman that looks good!

we'll be able to run that in real time one day no doubt... but by that time im more interested in new displaying techniques than graphics. even with super realistic graphics, something can only get "that" real looking at a screen.

I don't even think it'll take ten years

I give it 12 months before they use it for Shrek 3. 48 months for Far Cry 3.

10 years ago from now
Today

Not 10 years IMO either.

 

[BlueElite06]

I bet it is MUCH sooner than 10 years at this rate...

 

[tuteja1986]

Ohh god ! I wanted to escape that type of graphic

 

[Malladine]

Sick.

 

[kamranziadar]

Wow

 

[Wentelteefje]

That is really impressive stuff indeed... I have no real opinion about it, but at least I HOPE it will be here in less than 10 years...

Games will look like that in 10 years.

I can just imagine what the news headlines will be for future games. GTA already takes a beating in the media. Ragdoll effects, Gore etc. It will be an interesting time.

 

[ddogg]

damm thats amazing...

 

[Leper Messiah]

just imagine the pr0n games. :Q

 

[BigfootKevin]

Yeah, and imagine the kind of hardware is going to be needed to run that stuff.

Well, at least you're honest.

 

[Rock Hydra]

Is that in-game or pre rendered?

 

[Ackmed]

Somehow, I doubt it. We were supposed to have "Toy Story" graphics by now. Which of course is far from the truth.

 

[Griswold]

The skin pores are too visible or not randomly spread out enough, which kinda gives it away as cgi. But yea, looks amazing.

In the words of Peter Griffin, "freakin' sweet!"

 

[BW86]

Yeah, I've seen this picture before. That is CRAZY!
It was made with Maya and Mental Ray.
here is the wire


here is another awesome picture
made with Cinema 4D v9

I'm with Ackmed -

Each step towards realism requires a much bigger leap in processing power, as we approach the target, the curve becomes much steeper. People have been pointing to rendered CGI as examples of what we'll see in the future for ages, and frankly, it isn't happening.

IMO, games now are just not that much better than they were in 2003. But compare 2003 to 2001 and you see a real difference. I'm sure people will jump in with examples of X game that is just so great compared to what came before, but I'm not buying it. Compare any x-year period since the development of the 3D card, and you will see improvements are tapering.

Yeah, this a repost. I've seen that pic here before and it had a bit of discussion. No d@mn idea how to do a search for it though.

It's all about the shaders, and in the future it looks like it will continue in the direction of more and more shader intensive graphics.

I don't think we'll see realtime graphics like that in a game until at least 15 years.
