Outerra Engine (mind-blowing)

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

Yeah,that would be better

Looks kinda like Hawx 2 scenery xD

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

[dtlove]

I think I jizzed out my mouth there....

This looks awesome.

Holy motherf**kin shit ?! Frostbite 2, CryEngine 3, and Avalanche Engine had a threesome and gave birth to this engine's grandmother :bow: :bow: :bow:

"It costs over $400 000 to play for 12 seconds."

WTF !?

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:

What, you mean what I said or the quote? Cause in both cases, I don't even watch those videos. only one I watched was "heavy orders an xbox" :p

Some guy with those specs could run it
