Game Graphics Beyond Realism: Then, Now, and Tomorrow

چکیده
Photorealism is one of the most quoted aspects of nowadays games. However, realistic game graphics is not the only style desirable. This paper surveys the many graphical styles used in past and current games, analyzes graphical aspects of computer games and discuss the use of realism with respect to game graphics. We show several examples and make references to current research, encouraging game developers to experiment with alternative, more artistic rendering styles, such as non-photorealistic rendering.

Six-figure workstations and custom software are not producing the best graphics or virtual reality simulations anymore. Today, the only way to have the fastest, most realistic simulations and sophisticated graphics is to trade down from the expensive gear to standard PCs running game software. Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and high-fidelity physical simulation have long posed to...

متن کاملSelf-Shadowing Bump Map Using 3D Texture Hardware
Self-shadowing bumpmaps add realism and depth to scenes and provide important visual cues. Previous techniques have shown self-shadowing at interactive rates, but at a substantial cost over standard normal mapped bump mapping. This paper uses volume textures on consumer graphics hardware, using few enough resources that they can be easily added to existing normal map bump mapping renderers. Als...
متن کاملFluid Simulation on the GPU with Complex Obstacles Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method
English] Real-time computer graphics and simulation has advanced to a level of realism that was regarded as unthinkable a few decades ago. However, fluid simulations are still in an infant state for applications that require interactivity. Recent developments in programmability of graphics processing units on current graphics cards have enabled researchers to treat these cards as stream co-proc...
