Well, there are actually quite interesting things happening with nVidia physX. Have a look at all the particle effects and the dynamic groundsnow in Batman Arkham Origins. Another great example is the first (!) Bioshock. Ok, no real-time simulation, but still!! There is still the question, however, whether you actually NEED that precise realtime physics calculations. I know I don't!

Here's a video in the style of our game that communicates pretty well the difference between good and bad lighting for a scene.

I was playing TDM the other day and I threw a body in the water. I do that frequently. I can imagine a day in gaming where dragging an object around in the water will cause a displacement and make the water swish around.... no pre-computed animations/shaders, no clipping problems, pure physics calculations!

 

EDIT: That video is pretty awesome. Actually ragdoll physics in general are still pretty impressive, even those in TDM. Its so weird when I play older games like Urban Terror. Every time I die, I see the same two animations... lol

Is there anybody out there who DIDN'T have this idea when they were little? I certainly did!

 

Still... Using it to burn out LEDs is pretty lame. I think it would be better as an SSD sanitizer or CD sanitizer.

That arc is crying out to be hooked to a vandergraff generator or some other kind of voltage multiplier, awesome.

 

Below we have quite an awesome video, but then when you have an advertising budget bigger than the GDP of iceland....

Found this perusing the DayZ forums... looks interesting.

Looks pretty cool. I imagined a game like this but set on a living alien planet, and heavier on the basic survival part early on. Then you would really not know what to expect.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

I dunno how this presents itself to you, but for me it seems like an ordinary day at the academia.

 

 

Some kind of (collaborative) research going on, the professori didn't supervise properly, there is strong symbolism of discontinuity (the reaper), and it ends with a lecture by some international high-level scientist, where the local professor kneels in the before the authority of the other.

 

Worth to watch, even with the music only.

I always loved the music in this game, ever since I was a kid... and those are the best remixes I've ever heard.

Also, I swear that lady talking later in the video is the person who played the role of the female scientist in Penumbra Black Plague! It sounds JUST like her!

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
