Planetary engine that can be used with real elevation data of arbitrary resolution, while being progressively enhanced by fractal algorithms. The fractal algorithms refine and introduce details down to centimeter resolution and can be parametrized by elevation and land class data. A completely random fractal terrain is possible too, or a terrain can be sketched in rough resolution with fractal generating the details. Level of detail ranges from thousands of kilometers down to centimeters, with full visibility. The engine is fully asynchronous, majority of the algorithms running on the GPU while the rest is distributed to multiple CPU cores.

In other words, you can simulate entire PLANETS with this engine. Once it's finished in development, it will just be a matter of time before a game company adopts it.

Global wars, and life simulator anyone?

Discuss.

Could this be combined with the Nvidia Physx engine?

Not only would you get the planet, you'd get extremely realistic detail  :D

Holy fucking awesome jizzinmypants shit! That's fucking cool. I wonder what the System Requirements are, imma' check now.


Couldn't find the System Requirements but this is one of the comments:
Pretty much, I'm running it on GTX 460, AMD Phenom II X2 550 (3.1GHz) myself

I don't know what the specs of this thingy is but I guess you can find it out yourselfs :D

I find this probably bogus, because it sounds like a direct quote from Team Fortress 2's Heavy..

Is that computer spec yours? Or the guys who runs it?

Cause I have a ever-so-slightly worse graphics card, but a Quad core CPU, could I run it? D:
