This is real time. It's a bit annoying that the article doesn't lift that point since that is the most impressive point. Then again, I guess unless you don't include interactive aspects there's no telling what is actually real time and what is "baked".
- bcaulfield 8y agoYou're right, we've updated the post to reflect this.
- JohnBooty 8y agothere's no telling what is actually real time and what is "baked". Yea, that distinction is... fuzzy, and a little frustrating. Artistically, this demo is wonderful! Technically, it's somewhere between "yawn" and game-changing, depending on how much of the lighting and animation is pre-baked. Are the deformations of her skin, clothing, the water, etc. being calculated in real time, or was all the hard stuff precalculated and baked in? Reason why this matters is because the more dynamic this is, the closer we are to creating actual emergent/interactive experiences with this kind of technology, rather than just a way to render static cutscenes better.
