  • 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.

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.

  • Reality Inspired Games: Expanding the Lens of Games' Claims To
    Reality Inspired Games: Expanding the Lens of Games’ Claims to Authenticity Robyn McMillan, Darshana Jayemanne, Iain Donald School of Design and Informatics, Division of Games and Arts University of Abertay Bell Street, Dundee DD1 1HG +44 1382 308000 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper considers the potentials of contemporary games staking claims to realism through documentary and journalistic techniques as part of a wide-ranging cultural and technological phenomenon– ‘Reality Inspired Games’ or RIGs (Maurin, 2018). We argue that RIGs employ design techniques and strategies of legitimation that are valuable to the reactive development cycles in the indie sector, whilst also being beneficial for academic research and development. Through examining traditional documentary and the concept of Bruzzi’s performative documentary (2006) we highlight how this concept may allow developers to negotiate performativity and authenticity in their videogames. We discuss examples of such games in the realm of indie productions, such as That Dragon, Cancer (2016), This War of Mine (2014), and My Child Lebensborn (2018) and Bury Me, My Love (2017). All of which represent new ground for game design, documentary and journalistic techniques that have influenced our work on the MacMillan project. Keywords Reality Inspired Games, Documentary, Performativity, Indie “Much like photographs, paintings, literature and music are capable of transmitting the full range of the human experience from one human to another, so too can games. Due to their interactivity, games are capable of a higher form of communication, one which actively engages the participant and makes them a part of the experience rather than a passive observer” (Brathwaite & Sharp, 2010, p315).

  • An Overview Study of Game Engines
    Faizi Noor Ahmad Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 3, Issue 5, Sep-Oct 2013, pp.1673-1693 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS An Overview Study of Game Engines Faizi Noor Ahmad Student at Department of Computer Science, ACNCEMS (Mahamaya Technical University), Aligarh-202002, U.P., India ABSTRACT We live in a world where people always try to find a way to escape the bitter realities of hubbub life. This escapism gives rise to indulgences. Products of such indulgence are the video games people play. Back in the past the term ―game engine‖ did not exist. Back then, video games were considered by most adults to be nothing more than toys, and the software that made them tick was highly specialized to both the game and the hardware on which it ran. Today, video game industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry rivaling even the Hollywood. The software that drives these three dimensional worlds- the game engines-have become fully reusable software development kits. In this paper, I discuss the specifications of some of the top contenders in video game engines employed in the market today. I also try to compare up to some extent these engines and take a look at the games in which they are used. Keywords – engines comparison, engines overview, engines specification, video games, video game engines I. INTRODUCTION 1.1.2 Artists Back in the past the term ―game engine‖ did The artists produce all of the visual and audio not exist. Back then, video games were considered by content in the game, and the quality of their work can most adults to be nothing more than toys, and the literally make or break a game.
