  1. I hear the original Elite was able to render actual curved geometry rather than triangles pretending to be curves. I wonder if that would be less intensive for GPUs to render than a shit ton of polygons.

    I'm not sure really. If you're rendering an actual legitimate curve you're taking a lot more into account that the system didn't have to with triangulated polygons(The math behind the curve itself and what not).

     

    That and I don't think this game really needs it because despite being massive in size, there's never really too much going on on the screen all at once. I'm guessing they're getting away with re-using models for things such as stars to avoid having to load too many, and creative use of LoD's when something is in render range to keep the system running smoothly. The game I think is something like only around like 5 gigs(at least what I could find about it) so they're being pretty efficient with things anyways.

     

    Still, true curve rendering has me intrigued. O_o

     

    ANYWHO, eating dinner and reading while waiting on this download. Planning to play Mount & Blade Napoleonic Wars with my friend when he gets online.

  2. now now, let's not get into a "I have it harder" fight. No one REALLY wants to win those. That's not a happy victory. Everyone in relationships go through some form of hardship, best to just be understanding and supportive, even if silently. :P

  3. This is why I used Ad Block Plus on Chrome to literally block the CSS tag for the Youtube comments section. Now whenever I visit the page there's just a small empty white box container where the comments used to load.

  4. You so should. :P

     

    I've been wanting to try out UE4 for a while now, see how much it's changed from UDK. I've seen the screenshots of the layout but that's not gonna tell me how well it works as an engine.

  5. Yeah fixing gif's weren't hard for me. It's just a matter of going frame by frame to patch up little things. Something in the resaving of it messed up. I could try again later but right now I'm playing around with CryEngine's landscape editor. That thing is so fun.
