When he went right down into the grains of dirt my mind was blown.
Please let this be real.
Let's not animate it at all. This is awesome enough as it is. :v:

For cooling they just buried it in the Arctic whilst it renders stuff.
There is information about how it works : [url]http://unlimiteddetailtechnology.com/description.html[/url]
Basically, it's voxels but only the necessary points are rendered.
The Description of the video said this:

Their other video that is.

nah, the case is just made of a temperature conductive material that's filled with liquid nitrogen
which is also buried inside another case of liquid nitrogen
which is then buried inside bobby koticks cold cold heart

they're watching us
:ohdear:
Sounds like pure bilge to me.
I'm pretty sure it's using a thing called sparse voxel octrees (?) The only problem is when you want to animate something. That's what the video doesn't tell you.
I think I remember reading that it's some kind of raytracing.

That's from raytracing. It looks pretty real.
They sure do copy a lot of the same, that's what makes it so fast. Nevertheless this is quite impressive and looks a lot better than the state it was in when I saw it last year.
If only VALVe would adopt this.

Older video from last year, explains how their technology works a bit better.
they seem very unprofessional
the video quality is shit and is recorded at some kind of horid 4:3 res, and the unlimitedtechnology website looks like it was made by somebodies blind grandma in 1998

Here are thousands of them being displayed on an ordinary laptop, using only one core, no special 3D graphics hardware is being used, and it all runs in real-time.[/quote]
Holy shit

Plus they're clearly begging for investors.
Skip to about 6:20 for the technical explanation.
Did anyone else find the voice of the guy in the video annoying?
There is something fishy about this. Unlimited detail for no required power? It can not be that simple.

Yeah it was pretty annoying, but it really didn't matter when he was talking about what it can do, I just hope this does go somewhere and it's real, this is pretty damn insane.

They're a technology firm, not a game designers or artists.
There just has to be some catch to this.
Well, the biggest breakthroughs in performance do come in the form of improved software, so i wouldn't completely dismiss this.
[b]Holy fucking shit.[/b]
Sure this would pretty much remove the need for a graphics card but what about processing power? It must use a ton especially if it has to work out all of this shit, unless they've even got that sorted.
It looks promising though.
whoa
I think this is the Loch Ness Monster of 3D technology. It's been stated and viewed but it's existence is still up for interpretation.
I'm looking forward to seeing all the tiny details of all those shrimps on the barbie
Games are getting better graphics than real life

why don't they just drain all of the water in loch ness? surely they can just do that and have a poke around to see if he's down there
:iiam:
I'm not getting my hopes up, this seems too good to be true for me. I want a playable demo.
