im guessing none of that was done in real time -

although if games had this kind of physices, i'd be buying a physics card :)




the dirt, looks real :O

Supposedly that is not a rendering but a real time game. Granted the frames would probably be a lot less if it was in a game.. for now anyways. Maybe this is the future of gaming

Maybe if they make a game based around throwing strangely frictionless dirt clods at steps perhaps.

Immensely complex physics is not terribly useful in games, most environmental effects can and should be prerendered because it gives good looks with vastly increased performance, and the performance can be spent on something like more enemies.

Unless your game is built around physics novelties, the ability to simulate throwing crates around and driving cars is about all the physics you need.

Still, it's good that the technology develops in these areas; eventually the processing power will catch up, and it'll be easier to just do it real-time than script it.
This particular implementation is probably far off... GoldSrc to Source took quite a while, and Source sure ain't perfect.

So how long until the entire level environment is made of particles like this allowing me to deform it in real-time?
4 years? Maybe 8 at most?

Try 20.
Well, maybe 12...

I enjoyed the video, recalling the hl2 teaser and how that was cutting edge makes me excited for where the code will take gaming...

Unreal Tournament 2015 will have a pudding cannon.
