>Atomic-level detail rendering

Why hasn't this taken off yet /g/?
>>
Why would you bother doing this if you're just going to scale down the rendered image anyway? It's a waste of time, and it is then subject to antialiasing and interpolation. It's better to render at a resolution and density that makes the most sense for the output screen.

Because it's memeware.
Or rather, investor scam.

Don't give nVidia anymore fucking stupid ideas. moron!

This, this unlimited detail engine is fake as fuck and I remember seeing it first in 2007
>>
because every time they show it off they don't show examples with complex lighting or models or anything that may make a game like a game and focus heavily instead on selling it for practical purposes such as historic documentation for museums, 3d floorplans for realestate agents etc

it's not a game engine and never will be if all they can muster up every year is yet another "zero impact high detail engine, also works good for historic preservation guys!", which is fine and all if you work for a museum and don't give a shit about gaming and instead are licensing this engine to run virtual reality tours, but then you wouldn't be on /g/ in the first place

Because it is stupid. Really.
Atoms are not visible. All we need is a good mathematical description of a surface, good lighting models with global illumination.

Fuck, non-realtime rendering nowadays is in most cases indistinguishable from pictures

>>53505635
For other shit, Maybe
For gaming and "interactive movie", NO. Because who give a shit about grass or a stupid rock while running around,

>>53505635
Until they open source it no one gives a single shit.

Because in its current incarnation, the technology is more geared for use in things like civil engineering. If you need a 3D map of something, this tech is amazing.

They started work on a game engine some time in 2015, so we might expect them to announce something toward the end of this year, or perhaps next year, assuming they can get the tech to produce animations. I don't know how they'd get it to animate, though, because it currently just loads a map from memory, it doesn't actually render anything.

same reason it didnt take off 15 years ago.
