|  | | AMD Mecha DirectX 11 Demo |
The Mecha demo shows the results of a new approach to rendering semi-transparent objects without pre-sorting, known as order-independent transparency (OIT). It is made possible by the ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series of graphics processors and the new features of Microsoft DirectX 11 technology. Blending is an order-dependent operation that requires sorting objects before rendering them. Atomic operations and append buffers make it possible to construct per-pixel fragment lists and sort them on the GPU. The results are a significant increase in speed and accuracy over those possible with traditional techniques.

They are making lame demos since then. | | | | I sense lawsuit approaching by the Mechwarrior guys........... | | | | over what? they odnt own the rights to making a 3d mechanized battle suit, it doesnt even look like a mech from mechwarrior
anyways, not incredible impressive at any rate | | | | hmm, from the front it looked like the front chassis mech. | | | | The mech idea appeared long time before Mechwarrior in novels and cartoons. | | | | When viewed from directly in front, it looked nearly exactly like the front chassic mech you start off with. That design i am sure is owned by Microsoft (who apparently now owns the Mech games) | | | | Then if Microsoft is the owner, I doubt they would lawsuit ATI since they are boasting DirectX 11, which is good for Microsoft. | | | | Wrong...Smith and Tinker now have the rights to the Mechwarrior series, Former heads of FASA Studio's. And that certainly resembles a Nova Cat chassis from Mechwarrior. it's an omni mech. | | | | doesnt matter, they dont own the right to the concept of mechanized battle robot's or armor/suits, this concept was around long before that game was even conceived, it has been used in many other games, shows, movies and other forms of media.
The whole concept of them even being able to sue over it is stupid and wont happen.
To me that looks as much as a nova cat as it does optimus prime, just another big robot with guns. | | | | I heart big robots with guns. | | | | | | I never said anything about anyone suing anyone. and if you really believe that a nova cat looks anything like optimus prime then your an idiot. Trust me, if they wanted to force the issue they could just based on the likeness. Will they not likely, but it isn't as impossible as you say. Know what you talking about before you go running your mouth. | | | | Whats so great about this mecha DX 11 Demo ? | | | | The per-fragment sorted transparency which is very nice thing when you want to do a good particle effects.
In this demo it is used to get correct result for the transparent mech. | | | | Quote:

Right, except you obviously hae no clue what your talking about or the cojones to even post with a registered account so how about you just stop yappin? They couldnt force shit. | | | | Please STFU. you are the one that doesnt know what they are talking about. Im not creating an account where little know it all's hang out and post bs. | | | | lol what a moron, you cant sue someone because they made something that looks like like a generic version of something in its respective genre which happens to look similar to your generic looking thing
Its like sueing someone because their screw looks kinda like your screw, piss off kid. |

| Quote | | | | | whateva dood! people have sued over far less. Im not saying they can win, im saying they can sue. Your too wrapped up in your OPINION, and over inflated ego to see what im saying to you. but thats ok. | | | | I hate to burst your bubble bullshitartist, but in the land of the free you can sue anyone for anything. | | | | blindartist here is quite correct, any lawsuits regarding design are quite pointless. Like the faked Nikie or Reebook logos they put on cheap clothes to con people into buying it. They may look alike, but they are not exactly the same, are they? | | | | | | Quote:

Don't waste money on a lawyer. | | | | Seriously, does no one know there's a history of FASA having been sued for certain mech designs? And you're all suggesting it can't be done... | | | | | | They were sued by the creators of macross for stealing their designs to put in battletech. But believe u me those rips r 99% similar not this one wireframe that does not even look like a nova cat. | | | | Quote:

Meaning more graphics with less stress. | |
