GDC 06 Photos and Legions Movies
by Timothy Aste · 04/03/2006 (9:32 pm) · 32 comments
No use in beating the dead horse, GG rocking at GDC 06 in San Jose. I took a bunch of video clips in hopes to make a short montage video, but for some reason the compression codecs are chocking all my video apps. In the meantime, I have a handful of pictures from the trip that I'll throw up here. Our ride down was very Dirty Dozen like.
Also, some movies of the GDC Preview of the Legions TSE Tech demo are up at http://www.tribalwar.com
Head over there to see those movies.

EDIT: Saw the Legions videos. Thats really cool! Mind if I ask what you used for atlas? I use terragen but can't get the terrain looking that smooth.

Btw, the Civil Disturbance guys were awesome. They were doing exactly what Jeff was talking about in his latest blog, sitting in the fishing area, getting anyone they could to play their game and trying to get their name out. It was really cool to see them doing that, being a Ghost Recon fan, I was impressed, and hope to see those guys in IGF next year (and hopefully IGC too!)

Tim, the pictures are O.K. Please change the font on all of the pictures so the older folks can read them more easily. Thanks.

Whoa, you guys met the Living Dead creator!! Cool!! I didn't know Romero was so young looking. I thought he was really old. Those hollywood types though. He probably got plastic surgery to look younger... and uh... prettier?Thanks for the photos, Tim!! I'm glad you had fun!

Those Legions movies are amazing. Damage screen flash, waypoint markers, motion blur; brilliant! :) Can't wait for this tech to be let loose to the EAs...

A couple questions tho...
Are some of the interiors using smoothing groups? Because some of those curves just look better than most CSG stuff.
And, what type of shader are you using for the PSM 3.0 example cube? Relief mapping?
