Bilboarding madness!

Timothy Farrar is working on a game called Atom. Not so easy to figure out how it plays, but it looks absolutely amazing. Apparently it’s all billboards, or micro impostors as he calls them. Very clever!

Check it out, there’s some video’s and a bit about the engine he’s making:

I like the ellipsoid primitives. Nice gfx but the game concept doesn’t sound convincing…

What is that thing??!

I don’t understand much of the rendering, and from a movie I saw the motion made no sense other than the motion blur being cool. This is a game? How?

Looks awesome though.

I’ll wait and see if he can pull this off as a game. As a VJ tool on the other hand…

/P

That is simply beautiful. It’s like you get to become a nanomachine. Very cool.

At the very least I could see this being a hyper-immersive knock off of Flow.
