Spielberg's Mirrors Edge & Nvidia PhysX

2008-11-20T16:18:00.003+01:00

With the NVIDIA PhysX physics engine, the world of Mirror's Edge comes to life with real affects [sic] of wind, weapons impact, and in-game movements. Every-day objects within the game become part of the overall experience. Cloth, flags, and banners can now impact weapons and players; ground fog interacts with the player's footsteps; explosions fill the air with smoke and debris; and weapon impacts are enhanced with interactive particles.

Accelerazione hardware alle IA

2008-09-14T16:10:00.003+02:00

AIseek presenta un SDK (e un processore) per sfruttare l'accelerazione hardware nei calcoli delle IA.

Description: Two armies of hundreds of soldiers, led by firing tanks, battle each other. As the tanks crash through walls and blow up obstacles, the soldiers move intelligently through the newly formed rubble. They make skilful use of available hiding spots, cover for each other and move in formation.

Accelerated AI shown: Intelligent movement of many agents in a highly dynamic world. Since the game map is constantly changing, all path-related data must be repeatedly calculated in real-time (pre-processing is of no avail).

Intel converte ET: Quake Wars in ray-tracing

2008-06-14T15:57:00.005+02:00

Da Tg-Daily:

Mountain View (CA) – Up until yesterday, Intel was showcasing its ray-tracing research using Quake 3 and Quake 4, which were nice demos, but did not exactly reflect fresh software. Over past several months, the company has been working one converting Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and we have to admit that the results are quite impressive.
