This reminds me...
Can I start a new thread in the backroom, where people can throw weird, dark and kinky stuff (but not porn)?
I'm into weird stuff. Really stirs up my imagination.
And I need that right now, as I'm working on a relatively weird project...

As long as you keep it within the Terms of Service (ideally PG-13 but at least make sure if it isn't the thread is suitably labelled with warnings).

Admiral Ackbar: It's a trap?

[Silver Wolf]

A HUGE trap.

[Silver Wolf]

Failed to mention that she looks just like one of my friends.
Just without the curly hair.

Fascinating.

An example of DX11 tessellation.

Tessellation is the technique of changing the amount of polygons in an object being rendered by your GPU dynamically. Your GPU is creating polygons on the fly. As you see above, it is capable of creating very complex geometries that can greatly add to the immersiveness of a gaming environment. It is quite simple as to why we would want to use it in games. As objects get closer to the camera, the game developer has the ability of increasing the amount of polygons used in an object so it appears more lifelike. Or, you can look at it from a traditional Level of Detail (LOD) standpoint where as an object moves away from the camera, the polygons are lessened so there is less strain on your GPU rendering polygons that are not needed.

Wakka nut.

Just makes that path look even more uncomfortable to walk on.

[Silver Wolf]

Actually, makes it look as bumpy as that texture would look in real life.

Extraordinary.

[Marcus]

I gathered that, in which case that path is very poorly made. Or badly in need of re-laying.

[Jubal]

It is one of the amusing things about anything with a medieval setting - because medieval stonework looks old and crumbly now, game designers have a tendency to assume that it should look old and crumbly for their games and suchlike.

Happy New Year!
