Blizzard: We Broke Our Renderer

[CEMEHbl4]

I think the polygon count on the marine ended up being well above five million. So when we tried to render the cinematic teaser, we actually broke our renderer.

lol

5 Million Poly's?!

Jesus.

 

[monoVertex]

And when you think that WCIII modelers try to keep it around 100-200 polys... .

5 Million Poly's?!

Well it's a Blizzard quality cinematic, and well look at it, it doesn't have all that detail magically.

 

[Flare]

Hehe, gj Blizzard for breaking something. Very nice model though. Shame that it broke my Firefox though (it froze, I re-opened and restored session, it froze again ^^)

 

[PurgeandFire]

Lol, I think they could save a few polies with the skin.

Geez, with that many polies I'm not suprised.

Blizzard: 1

5.000.000+ poly's wil be the norm arround 2038 methinks.

2052, I checked.

2052, I checked.

Thats when a game will take 22 years to make :thup:

 

[ArmedCitizen]

Or they will just edit models from previous games so it will only take one.

^So you will see cloud strafe when they remake FF VII for the 8th time on the playstation 22 on starcraft?
XD

It's over 9000! :O LOL But seriously, over 5 freakin million? Wow. I, in my ignorance of modeling, can only wonder how long it took.

By then, they will be making pollies smaller than atoms, thus creating graphics better than real life.

Good luck with that, since it just cannot be possible.
Pollies like all other stuff in a computer is built from molecules and atoms:nuts:

 

[Sevion]

Make each atom make up multiple pollies? :O

You realize they are virtual right...?

 

[rover2341]

Define better then real life lol.

 

[TheDamien]

I think he refers to the display devices.

 

[Samael88]

Explain virtual please. I know what pollies is, I know that they are projected onto the screen by a cannon of some sort, photon I think it is.
I am just meaning that you can't get pollies to be smaller than an atom since it is the atoms are the smallest buildstone next to the photons and stuff.

I think he refers to the display devices.

Yes, I was, sort of. The pc screen is built by atoms, it is not possible to display something on it wich is smaller than what it is build of.

IF you zoom in then yes
