Twerto Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 http://www.romereborn.virginia.edu/ Probably my computer graphics but i was expecting this to look a bit more polished than it does.. but impressive all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 It all looks rather out of date in terms of computer graphics... Like something from the late nineties... but I suppose they've been working on it for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandhopper Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Well, they started to work in 1997, but I am afraid that the stills and the video clips they are now presenting are nothing else but some kind of a by product. Their major aims go into other directions as they explain it: ventilation and urban micro-climate, traffic flows and mass movings of people to the forum, to the colosseum etc. etc.And we know a lot about the foundations of many buildings but a little only about the upgowing walls, allmost nothing about window spacings on third or forth floor level, balconies and other details. So, our understanding of computergraphics is probably of minor interest for them, althouh they do have Intel, M$ and NVidia as sponsors in their boat ...

DamnSaxon Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 they do have Intel, M$ and NVidia as sponsors in their boat ... They might have done better to get a few gamers interested - I've heard some estate agents use the Quake engine to mock up buildings for sale, so prospective customers can "stroll" through them. And a game engine is going to be very quick and slick in its performance compared to what they have on show, interesting as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twerto Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 if only they used the halflife engine then you could pick up the couch to see if they had hovered under it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
