the futures bright...the futures RAYTRACED!, or at least I hope thats the way things go, photorealistic scenes and realtime soft shadows
, then they are going on about PPU`s (physics processing units) on other sites, some have been made, and once you make it it will not need any massive alteration, it`s not as though the laws of physics alter on a regular basis.
this raytraceing board is just a development project, but I think this is the way graphics cards should go, the current ones work the way they do because we couldn`t handle the processing any other way when they where first developed, and we have stuck to polygons and vertices out of inertia (if it aint broke don`t fix it), but if they develop chips like this far enough we can say goodby to flakey rendering and lights that pass through walls and hello to soft shadows, translucent objects, volumetric fog, realtime lighting and caustics with not a blip in the framerate
why do they say Aliens are gonna be friendly?, surely the agressive ones wipe out the peaceloving ones, so all you have left out there are crazed flesh eating interstellar monsters.
