Real-Time, Movie-Quality CGI For Games

Posted by kdawson on from the we-can-animate-it-for-you-wholesale dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An Intel-owned development team can now render CGI-quality graphics in real time. 'Their video clips show artists pulling together 3D elements like a jigsaw puzzle (see for example this video starting at about 3:38), making movie-level CG look as easy as following a recipe.' They hope that the simplicity of 'Project Offset' could ultimately give them the edge in the race to produce real-time graphics engines for games."

    I hate it when people hate on people hating on something they hate just to get karma points just to get karma points.

    It's almost as bad as people hating on people hating on people hating on something they hate just to get karma points just to get karma points just to get karma points.
