Creating 3D Environments Without Polygons

Posted by Soulskill on Sunday March 1, 2009 @05:51AM from the too-cool-for-geometry dept.

Igor Hardy writes "I've conducted an interesting interview concerning a new episodic indie adventure game series called Casebook. What's quite uncommon, especially for these kinds of independently developed and published productions, is that they include professionally created FMV — all of the footage is filmed in real locations. Yet what's even more interesting is that the games use an innovative photographic technology which recreates a fully explorable 3D environment through the use of millions of photos instead of building from polygons. The specifics of how it works are explained by Sam Clarkson, the creative director of the series."

Whoa!
Someone must've changed the Wikipedia page to a shock site after I linked it!
Then someone else must've reverted the change before I got to look at it again!
Beware folks. Wikipedia is DANGEROUS!
