panoramically-composite depth-mapped cube mapping

From what I read expect everything in a room to be interactive, I want to be able to completely destroy a room, in gun fight. Can we all just blow shit up. I hope i'm reading this right.

The title is a mouth full isn't it.

I can't be the only one reading that as "death mapping."

 

[Ronok]

I thought it said death mapping as well when i first looked....... I was like !

You aren't.

Why are the pictures not showing up? Fucking TIFF. Either it loads a peice of the image or no image at all. (not a browser issue, same in FF, IE and Opera)

I also found a patent that looks like its from the west coast team of ATI, concerning shadows its a technique to get rid of aliasing in shadows.

Tried to install that. "The win16 Subsystem has insufficent resources to continue running". Typical windows crap, always assuming you are in a postion to reboot instead of fixing problems on its own.

btw, you have an extra 't' in the url.

i'd like to see how this technique differs from the ones used in REmake.

It actually might well be referring to REmake's technology. Nintendo may have just developed it for Capcom.

Remember that online patents are usually posted a really long time after they're actually submitted. If I recall, it's because they only post approved patents, not pending ones. And the pending process takes forever.

The site said they updated them once a week, on every Tuesday

Did REmake shift perspectives? I thought the camera stayed pretty static in it.

The pictures are giving me problems too, but it reads like... kind of like bumpmapping I guess, faking depth and perspective shifts with something prerendered without actually rendering it in real time to that detail. Maybe mixing together multiple bits of prerendered media to pull the effect off.

What is this?
Gba camera?

 

[gamergirly]

You know, it's not making much sense. It was filed way after REmake came out, and RE 4 was pretty much finalized by the point this patent was officially filed. It has to be for a future game or something, especially since it takes months for the filings to be approved after filed

[Ecrofirt]

this alternate tiff thing.. it won't let me view any images other than the first one. What do I have to do to get it to show others?

USe the arrows on the side (the ones on the website)

This sequence of pictures is interesting. Sorta like XBL live aware games, for mobile gaming.

This can't be done on the GC, the console can't do "cube mapping", the only console on the market capable of the feature is the Xbox(atleast on the market). Cube mapping is used for the reflections you see in racing games like PGR2.
