^ for those who don't know what I'm talking about
It's legit apparently It uses Point cloud technology So since it's so realistic and has "unlimited detail" why didn't it work?
OH RIGHT you can't deform point clouds, neither can you model them,neither can you light them
This guy is trying to hide that fact by showing some 3d scans and walking away, and another thing
even if you can animate/light/model them, do you think that any artist is going to have the patience to model every detail? maybe for a realistic game they could scan things and get rid of artists completely but still...
This is flawed in so many ways and this guy is so smug that even I would look at him in shame...

"I'm rather curious if perhaps this company was "shut up" for some reason. Perhaps the powers that be do not want this technology to be known or released to the public, atleast by commercial companies. It would make sense, seeing as this technology would easily put thousands of companies out of business, such as those who make graphics cards."

@Zang
doesn't make any sense. the tech itself isn't going to work, Point clouds have been arround for a while, we know how it works.

You forgot to add the fact that they honestly don't look "amazing". I mean sure, they look way better than any games we have today, but I personally think the UE4 demos of houses and stuff look way better.

@Young
You're missing the point...
It's about replacing polys completely

@Fd, yes, I know that, but I wanted to mention that I really don't think it looks good.
