Oh and the system needs on a PC were not harsh. A dual core CPU and 8800 series Nvidea card is hardly cutting edge.</p>Metacam Oh commented on 'Watch & Try a Demo of the Outerra Engine, Which Makes Photo-Realistic Virtual Worlds Using Real World Data'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef016302a1b4d8970d2012-03-09T05:20:10Z2012-03-09T05:20:10ZMetacam Ohhttp://metaversetribune.com/Looks nice, but any virtual world that doesnt start first with the avatar is never going to get off the...<p>Looks nice, but any virtual world that doesnt start first with the avatar is never going to get off the ground.

<p>It amazes me how the gamer-centric world and higher ed differ. We are both subspecies of geeks, but in Higher Ed the focus has shifted to mobile.</p>

The graphics engine seems stable enough and provides a great degree of customization with respect to the environment settings. The physics of the terrain jeep vehicle is pretty advanced. With the exception of the terrain itself, none of the objects have collision boxes (you can move through every building and tree). Overall, I'm impressed by the effect playing in such an immense environment produces. Of course everything we take for granted in SL, the complexity of LSL, the flexibility of content creation tools, animations, asset and inventory systems, the new pathfinding tools, the marketplace, all of these things which took nearly a decade to produce and perfect in SL would take years to develop again for another platform.</p>
<p>Playing this demo makes me wish LL would buy a new graphics engine. I know it's more complicated than that, but really if Entropia can buy Cryengine 2 and transfer the old game assets to cryengine assets couldn't the same be done for prims in SL, through some automated process in the backend?</p>GoSpeed Racer commented on 'Watch & Try a Demo of the Outerra Engine, Which Makes Photo-Realistic Virtual Worlds Using Real World Data'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0168e8930ef5970c2012-03-08T19:13:37Z2012-03-08T19:13:37ZGoSpeed Racerhttp://gospeedracer.wordpress.comOMG, the possibilities.
