Quake II RTX GTC 2019 Demo Walkthrough11/15/2023 Second Life uses the good old "mirror all the assets" approach, that is why you can see them in water reflections even if they are off camera, needless to say this technique is very heavy, as heavy as actual ray tracing? No.Īs for shadows, they would be better and more realistic, but considering the number of people that run SL with them off to begin with.Īnd that's the problem here, adoption numbers. Most games today use Screen Space Reflection for their reflections, the downside of this technique is only objects on camera can be reflected, the upside is, compared to other options, it is very light on system resources. Realistically best case scenario you'd have ray traced shadows and water reflections in SL. Is it possible? Everything is possible when you have the will, the time and the money.įor a start, and putting it simple because anyway other way would be pointless an counter productive, LL doesn't control the assets on SL, that means they cannot control their parameters and that is a major hinder for something like that. VKRay supports all the goodies seen here and in RTX ray-traced titles, and is game ready for Vulkan releases on Linux and other supported Vulkan platforms.Let me start by saying it's RAY tracing, not raid tracing. What’s more, Quake II RTX is running with NVIDIA VKRay (also known as VK_NV_ray_tracing), a Vulkan extension that allows any developer using Vulkan to add ray tracing effects to their games. All running in real-time for the first time on a GeForce RTX graphics card. Looking at the screenshots, you’ll see physically-based materials with reflections refraction, emissive textures, hard and soft shadows indirect diffuse lighting dynamic effect lighting dynamic weapon effects and real-time controllable time of day. We’ve introduced real-time, controllable time of day lighting, with accurate sunlight and indirect illumination refraction on water and glass emissive, reflective and transparent surfaces normal and roughness maps for added surface detail particle and laser effects for weapons procedural environment maps featuring mountains, sky and clouds, which are updated when the time of day is changed a flare gun for illuminating dark corners where enemies lurk an improved denoiser SLI support (hands-up if you rolled with Voodoo 2 SLI back in the day) Quake 2 XP high-detail weapons, models and textures optional NVIDIA Flow fire, smoke and particle effects, and much more! “But what’s new with Quake II RTX compared to Q2VKPT?”, you ask. That means all lighting, reflections, shadows and VFX are ray-traced, with no traditional effects or techniques utilized. Running on a Vulkan renderer, with support for Linux, Quake II RTX is a pure ray-traced game. He said yes, and this week NVIDIA is presenting the newly-created Quake II RTX with Christoph at GDC 2019. So, we reached out shortly after Q2VKPT’s release to ask if our own ray tracing experts, many of whom he worked with previously, could develop some additions. At GTC 2019, Nvidia unveiled Quake 2 RTX, an improved take on Quake 2 VKPT, which will be released on Github soon.ĢVKPT is the basis for future research, and a platform for more ray tracing goodness. Digital Foundry ran with it and did a video piece. Remember this thread? Christoph Schied released Quake 2 VKPT back in January, delivering a path traced solution to a classic game, free for download.

Superman returns11/15/2023 Alas, we'll never know how Routh's tenure in the cape would have panned out, and the actor has some thoughts as to why. Surely, the mostly positive critical response hinted that there was something to Singer's vision for Supes. Lex Luthor is the main antagonist of the 2006 superhero film Superman Returns, which serves as an homage sequel to the 1978 classic film Superman: The Movie, and its 1980 sequel Superman II, while ignoring the events of the 1983 threequel Superman III, and the 1987 fourquel Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Sadly, the studio wasn't quite as positive about that global figure, canceling plans for a sequel and ending Routh's big screen run as the Last Son of Krypton after just one outing. Made for a massive $232 million, "Returns" made a respectable $391 million at the global box office, seemingly faring well despite not being the gigantic hit Warner Bros. Unfortunately, things didn't quite pan out the way Routh or his director were expecting. And with director Bryan Singer having scored hits with "X-Men" and "X2: X-Men United," "Returns" was seemingly in safe hands. That sounds great and all, but, what happened with. Routh took his casting seriously enough that it even affected how he chose roles, with the actor striving to "uphold an image" of Superman in his work outside of the comic book adaptation. Released on Jin the United States, Superman Returns picks up where 1980’s Superman II (the Richard Donner film) left off. "Returns" was his big break, promising to catapult him into superstardom and establish him as a new Superman for a new generation. Back when Routh was cast in the lead role, he was basically an unknown actor. War thunder submarines11/15/2023 We still just have glorified ATGM and two SAMs which can be used against ships that are no antiship missiles. And especially when we still have no ship with real proper antiship missiles. I would say that comparison to missile ships is quite faulty because submarines have the engagement range bassically baked into their design because they can dive. It would be like doing the reverse w/ missile ships and moving them so far back that only they could reliably hit eachother. The submarines have overall more torpedoes and can reload them safely. At very least in case of PT boat the CL/BB can easily retaliate and destroy it not to mention the PT boats carry less torpedoes and mostly without reloads. It is core issue which I have with submarines how can player in CL/BB prevent being “shotguned” if they have no way of countering and even detecting submarine. Since battles don´t end instantly after the clash there is basically no way how to prevent the situation I described.Ī journey spent vulnerable, mostly on the surface if it is to be timelyĪlso I must dissagree with this notion while yes submarine on surface is very vulnurable but it can dive at any time and it is small target which could be easily mised so I believe you are overestimating the the skill needed to get into position. The same problem is still present even when submarines spawn at the back. The issue I mentioned was just ilustration. I don’t like to bring up WoWs a lot, but if submarines are as truly hated as they are there, especially since they’re free to use lots of unrealistic arcadey mechanics to try and make it work - and it still doesn’t work, I think you can understand why that doesn’t fill me with confidence for subs in this game. What can I do in that instance? There’s also Shadow’s example and I’m aware that a similar result could be achieved by a PT boat hiding around a corner, but at least a PT boat is above surface all the time, so you can theoretically counter it with any other surface ship. In general, my issue would be if I’m in a ship that can’t counter submarines, and, well, I come across one that’s targeting me. I meant more in the sense that a lot of ships won’t actually be able to counter submarines in any way, and the response from those in the community who like subs will be “just spawn in another ship bro” (another ship which can counter subs) in the same way that many CAS fans will respond to complaints about it with “just spawn SPAA bro”. To be fair, they won’t be exactly like CAS, my bad. If a sub can make it all the way to the enemy lane-to-objective starting from or near the destroyer spawn - a journey spent vulnerable, mostly on the surface if it is to be timely - then maybe it 'could make a close range torp dump, like that from a PT boat waiting around an island corner to do something similar. Since that hasn’t happened, the solution for submarines seems similar: don’t spawn them where they can’t be engaged conventionally. Detrimental to everything else, even if somewhat accurate to an irl engagement geometry. Moving a submarine 's starting location so far forward that it reaches it 's hunting location before surface ships can reach the objective does sound awful, it would be like doing the reverse w/ missile ships and moving them so far back that only they could reliably hit eachother. And if the spawn are placed near the centre there is the issue of many larger ships having no way of dealing with submarines or even spotting them. If the submarine spawns aren´t close to the middle of the map geting into close range would be really hard since most subs are really slow even surfaced they aren´t fast. Which would be even worse then the shotguning issue from WoWS.Īnd if we limit submarines into mostly coastal area there is issues with limited deaph and that submarines have very limited armament even when compared to PT boats. Not to mention that even when the torps hit the damage from them isn´t that great compared to gunfire (excluding Long Lances and equivalents) if the target isn´t a DD. The torpedoes simply aren´t reliable weapon right now which is extremly RNG at long range and the damage output is patheticaly small because of that so long range attacks would be extremly unfun for the submarine players. My main issues are that I can´t see submarine gameplay be properly balanced right now. then I can see submarines fit otherwise not so much. If we ever get something which focuses more on “PvPvE” such as convoys ect. I don´t think that submarines fit current NF gameplay.

Among us coloring pages11/14/2023 It’s difficult to pick a favorite moment, whether it be a slapstick scuffle in a mechanic’s garage, a brutal interrogation montage or the final kaiju battle in Times Square. “Mutant Mayhem’s” storyline may be a bit thin and rushed at times, but it allows for some truly fantastic action sequences. Finally, Chan as the turtles’ rat mentor/father figure, Splinter, is possibly the funniest character in the film bringing a true “dad energy” to each scene he is in. Edebiri’s April is relatable and realistic as an anxious journalist determined to be something more. Ice Cube brings a perfect balance of menace and humor to his character, walking a fine line many can’t achieve. The other actors that stood out were Ice Cube as Superfly, Ayo Edebiri as April O’Neil, and Jackie Chan as Splinter. There were definitely a few times I wish the director had yelled “CUT!” That being said, the movie is often laugh out loud funny, especially with some edgier jokes that seemed to slip through the censors. On the more negative side, sometimes the jokes or usage of “modern lingo” from the turtles becomes grating and at times even cringe-worthy. Each actor does a great job making their turtle distinct beyond the obvious characteristics each turtle has been assigned. On the positive side, the relationship between the four brothers shined and you really felt the chemistry between them. This unique animation style is incredibly refreshing and a pure delight to watch in movement on the screen.Ī big selling point of this new adaptation was how actual teenagers were voicing the titular turtles. The distinct style continues into the actions with explosions, fire or slime are often represented by squiggly lines that look straight out of a child’s coloring book. Each mutant and human has their own unique and funky look. The film is almost entirely free of a single clean line, with most objects and settings having skewed edges or lines that look like they’ve been drawn over a few times. Where it takes it a step forward is how the animators chose to style this “hand-drawn effect.” Choosing a far more rugged and “sketch-like” design. Following in the footsteps of the “Spiderverse” series and “ Puss in Boots: The Last Wish”, “Mutant Mayhem” creates a hand-drawn effect with is’s computer-generated animation and plays with its framerate to create a dynamic sense of action. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the film is its exceptional animation. In “Mutant Mayhem” the turtle brothers Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello devise a plan to defeat criminal mutant Superfly in order to win the love of humans and join the real world, leaving their secret dwelling of the sewers. The franchise has spanned almost 40 years, including eight film adaptations. In the newest adaptation, “ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Mayhem” writer Seth Rogen has brought the turtles back to animation with a few modern twists. The characters would explode in popularity a few years later when the comics were adapted as a Saturday morning cartoon, which is how we know them today. They also happened to be 15-year-old, humanoid turtles that lived in the sewer. To me, there are few things that are as apparent products of the 1980s such as the “ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” Originating as a comic in 1984, the series followed four skilled martial artists fighting crime in New York City’s shadows.

When activated they set the combat of all hangar pets that are currently summoned to either aggressive or defensive, and can make them move out to the currently selected target or back to the player's ship. Command Battlecruisers, Dreadnoughts, Flight Deck Raptors, Multi-Mission Science Vessels, Strike Wing Escorts, and Tactical Carrier Warbirds have 1 hangar bay with a maximum of two wings launched at the same time.Ĭarrier commands allow a player to control hangar pets in space. Carriers and Heavy Dreadnoughts have 2 hangar bays with a maximum of four wings launched at the same time.Each hangar bay can support up to two deployed wings at the same time. Squad size refers to the number of hangar pets deployed per wing. However, initial launch will have be to manually activated, after which ability becomes automated by deploying new pets when possible.

While they cannot be individually controlled, players can dispatch orders and commands to the wings of hangar pets through the use of carrier commands. Hangar pets are most easily destroyed by using AoE BOff abilities such as Cannon: Scatter Volley or Beams: Fire at Will. Additionally, while attacking the pets do not prevent the launching starship from using full impulse, thus making it possible to easily outmaneuver even the most agile escort-type foes that have no hangar pets of their own, by keeping them at a distance with their full impulse being disabled under attack.ĭue to their weak shields and hull however most hangar pets are easily destroyed - although due to their number they can inflict damage if not dealt with on time. Most direct damage dealing pets have 20km attack range, which is the double of 10km range of most directed energy and projectile starship-mounted weapons. Hangar pets may specialize in direct damage firepower support, repairing the mothership or weakening/disabling enemies. Most are extremely agile and can easily outmaneuver any playable vessel. Hangar Pets are small, lightweight vessels that can be deployed from ships with Hangar Bays (such as Carriers, Strike Wing Escorts, Flight Deck Carriers and Dreadnoughts).
