- drawkbox 17y agoGames and graphics look great nowadays, the need to do something just for the tech is not a real driver. Why would someone invest the time in this and static when they can also add interactivity? Until it can do interactivity, real-time, lighting, animation, collision detection/physics, etc better, faster and stronger, it will not take the market for graphics.
- Tycho 17y agoWell one thing I was thinking about is this 'laser-scan' technology for modelling real world objects. Perhaps the appeal of a quick, light, easy method of rendering detailed environments (albeit static) will prove very popular. Usually when I see static 3D demos on television (for instance on Grand Designs, a new-build architecture show, or computerized replays in soccer), they meet the bare minimum in aesthetic appeal.
