    Only if you don't know the "empation" word. I REALLY don't like some guys, typically some asocial morons or serial killers, but I would REALLY like they changed and lived in a manner good for society. Does this mean I'm indifferent or intolerant?

    Ray tracing is certainly the future for games, there is no question about that.
    I beg to differ. Many questions surround this. Would you know more than John Carmack?
    Would you believe something which one of the most respected people in computing said? Like when Bill Gates said no one would need more than 640kb memory? The same is with Carmack. He may be right, or wrong (I think he just want's to show another approach). Saying "Would you know more than John Carmack?" is just too much faith in authority.

    In some non-english speaking countries vectors are just those little arrows taught in math classes. For some time I couldn't explain to myself why in java one of array classes is named vector, but it doesn't have any useful mathematical operations.

  9. Re:The best person to ask? on Crytek Bashes Intel's Ray Tracing Plans · · Score: 1

    Just like with current rasterization? Even current mainboards and laptops have rasterization accelerators (modern gpu) built in. So why not go ahead and make ray tracing units in gpu? They have already vertex shaders, pixel shaders, ray shaders are next logical step. Of course there are software solutions for rasterization too, like Swift shader. And they are comparable to raytracing solutions in speed :D

  10. Re:The best person to ask? on Crytek Bashes Intel's Ray Tracing Plans · · Score: 1

    They WILL be mainstream. They will just have raytracing units along normal shading units. This is not about gpu OR rpu (ray processing unit), but gpu manufacturers want all to belevie that (or meybe they believe it themselves).

    I would really like to see quake4 with pixel shading on just cpu. You people forget that current games use specialisted graphic processors which currently even go to 128 shading units working in parallel. What if I had 128 specialized raytracing units? We should see results THEN

  12. Re:Stop motion movies on Crytek Bashes Intel's Ray Tracing Plans · · Score: 1

    Actually programs can use 4d raytracing. It means program can scatter samples in time dimension, which gives blurring. It's only one of techniques for blurring in raytracing.

  13. Re:Ray-Tracing Extremely CPU Intensive on Crytek Bashes Intel's Ray Tracing Plans · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here it goes again. Try to rasterize on CPU. It will be similarly slow. On the other hand with good hardware (like raytracing on gpu (PDF), or on cell processor (PDF), or just on PS3 cluster) is ALREADY possible. If you could make custom accelerator for raytracing (PDF) gamers and graphicians would love it.

    I have seen some commentary on wired, which essentially sayed using internet and wikipedia can be compared to using brain enchancers, i.e. wiki user is expanding their brain with knowledge which he can "remember" just by typing words (like searching your memory for something you don't remember easily). This said, it looks like you are not using your intelligence and even don't want to augment it in any way. It would take you only 2 seconds to make a search, but you've chosen to remain in ignorance.
