This is... too good. This is seriously all in browser?

- thearn4 11y agoActually, it looks like it's a streaming video from Youtube (right click on the player while it's playing).

- nilkn 11y agoSo what exactly is being rendered in real-time? Honest question. I don't quite get it.
- carlosdp 11y agoThey mean that it was rendered in real-time when it was recorded, not that it is rendering in real time in your browser.
- davidlumley 11y agoI imagine this is a recording of the demo which was streamed in real time, as opposed to being rendered (a process which can take significant time per frame for scenes this complex).
- JabavuAdams 11y agoThese are not complex scenes by today's standards. Geometry's no problem. The shader complexity is a bigger concern, but here it's all hard surfaces.
- JabavuAdams 11y agoE.g., see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toLJh5nnJA8&t=1h36m47s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toLJh5nnJA8&t=1h36m47s for current state of the art realistic characters and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRqMbHgBIyY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRqMbHgBIyY for current state of the art real-time architectural viz.

- mparlane 11y agoWhat they mean is that it was rendered in a way in which it took 1 minute to render 1 minute of footage. Instead of a typical movie rendering which can take a long time for just a single frame. Like toy story "Our original toy story frames were averaging four hours, which is 240 minutes" - https://www.quora.com/How-much-faster-would-it-be-to-render-Toy-Story-in-2011-compared-to-how-long-it-took-in-1995 https://www.quora.com/How-much-faster-would-it-be-to-render-...
- nilkn 11y agoThanks! That makes perfect sense.
- robbrown451 11y agoIt just took a cluster of a thousand computers to do it.
- izym 11y agoIt was run on a single PC with the following hardware: Processor: Octacore Intel Core i7 6th Generation GPU: Nvidia GeForce Titan X (3x SLI)
- thedak 11y agoNo it wasn't, that commenter was _guessing_. A tweet above says it was on a GTX 980 in 1440
- robbrown451 11y agoActually I was joking.
- lowglow 11y agoThat was my initial reaction when they said rendered in real time, but I'm guessing it meant low latency (real time) while waiting for frames to render during processing.
