  • Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting
    Chapter 5: Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting Chapter 5 Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting Johan Andersson 7 5.1 Introduction Many modern games take place in outdoor environments. While there has been much research into geometrical LOD solutions, the texturing and shading solutions used in real-time applications is usually quite basic and non-flexible, which often result in lack of detail either up close, in a distance, or at high angles. One of the more common approaches for terrain texturing is to combine low-resolution unique color maps (Figure 1) for low-frequency details with multiple tiled detail maps for high-frequency details that are blended in at certain distance to the camera. This gives artists good control over the lower frequencies as they can paint or generate the color maps however they want. For the detail mapping there are multiple methods that can be used. In Battlefield 2, a 256 m2 patch of the terrain could have up to six different tiling detail maps that were blended together using one or two three-component unique detail mask textures (Figure 4) that controlled the visibility of the individual detail maps. Artists would paint or generate the detail masks just as for the color map. Figure 1. Terrain color map from Battlefield 2 7 email: [email protected] 38 Advanced Real-Time Rendering in 3D Graphics and Games Course – SIGGRAPH 2007 Figure 2. Overhead view of Battlefield: Bad Company landscape Figure 3. Close up view of Battlefield: Bad Company landscape 39 Chapter 5: Terrain Rendering in Frostbite Using Procedural Shader Splatting There are a couple of potential problems with all these traditional terrain texturing and rendering methods going forward, that we wanted to try to solve or improve on when developing our Frostbite engine.

Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

Hey, folks, I have a special treat for you guys. AD&D Dragonlance game designers Colin McComb and Tim Beach have agreed to join us for a Q&A session! Colin was a designer for the Tales of the Lance boxed set, as well as Knight's Sword, Taladas: the Minotaurs, and Unsung Heroes. You can see his various RPG credits here . Tim was designer for Flint's Axe, has additional design credits for Taladas: the Minotaurs, and was a designer for Unsung Heroes. You can see Tim's various RPG credits here . Gentlemen, welcome to DragonlanceForums.com! I'm going to start out with a few questions, and everyone else should feel free to ask their questions as well. Colin and Tim will be able to answer as time permits. I ask that everyone please be respectful of our guests and their time. 1. First of all, how did you two get involved in Dragonlance? 2. Colin, tell us about the Tales of the Lance boxed set. What brought it about? Was it challenging writing a new sourcebook for Dragonlance? 3. What were the design goals of Tales of the Lance? 4. Colin, tell us about writing Knight's Sword. 5. Tim, tell us about writing Flint's Axe. How closely did it tie into Flint, the King? Did you and Colin coordinate on this project? 6.

  • Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: the Case of the Videogame Industry Par Shoma Patnaik
    HEC MONTRÉAL Disruptive Innovation and Internationalization Strategies: The Case of the Videogame Industry par Shoma Patnaik Sciences de la gestion (Option International Business) Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de maîtrise ès sciences en gestion (M. Sc.) Décembre 2017 © Shoma Patnaik, 2017 Résumé Ce mémoire a pour objectif une analyse des deux tendances très pertinentes dans le milieu du commerce d'aujourd'hui – l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation. L'innovation de rupture (en anglais, « disruptive innovation ») est particulièrement devenue un mot à la mode. Cependant, cela n'est pas assez étudié dans la recherche académique, surtout dans le contexte des affaires internationales. De plus, la théorie de l'innovation de rupture est fréquemment incomprise et mal-appliquée. Ce mémoire vise donc à combler ces lacunes, non seulement en examinant en détail la théorie de l'innovation de rupture, ses antécédents théoriques et ses liens avec l'internationalisation, mais en outre, en situant l'étude dans l'industrie des jeux vidéo, il découvre de nouvelles tendances industrielles et pratiques en examinant le mouvement ascendant des jeux mobiles et jeux en lignes. Le mémoire commence par un dessein des liens entre l'innovation de rupture et l'internationalisation, sur le fondement que la recherche de nouveaux débouchés est un élément critique dans la théorie de l'innovation de rupture. En formulant des propositions tirées de la littérature académique, je postule que les entreprises « disruptives » auront une vitesse d'internationalisation plus élevée que celle des entreprises traditionnelles. De plus, elles auront plus de facilité à franchir l'obstacle de la distance entre des marchés et pénétreront dans des domaines inconnus et inexploités.
