he looks so sad :(

He's reacting to news of Fermi not seeing widespread release most likely until first quarter 2010.

I'm getting Christian Bale vibes from the first one and Sean Bean vibes from the second.

it seems these are fake, like somebody just took pictures from elsewhere and photoshopped the nvidia logo onto them

yeah, fake :/ thanks jossiahsuarez, at least we dont have to wonder about it, I guess this lack of real info is creating alot of fake info :P

Wouldn´t have mattered much anyway, could just as easily have been image rendered with some GPU powered renderer, IE not realtime.
So the direct relevance to.. well performance, was never there in the first place, even if they hadn´t been "fakes".

Might acctually not be fakes, maybe someone found them somewhere, for example from a PDF about customer testamonials, with this company showing some images from some project where they were using workstations with Quardo cards in then, doing the old "with the awesome power of".. and "leveraging the performance of.." routines..
pointless, non descript, out of context..

or someone just stuck the logo on there, who knows.. doesnt really matter either way.

first one yea looks to real to be true,..


this second looks more believable.

they´re not 3d though, by the look of the trailer they come from.

[LydianKnight]

I don't see anything wrong with the images per se... all of them are doable even with current-gen hardware, because I don't think it's about real-time generation but more like complex rendering acceleration...

By giving the images a quick look, I'd safely say they're using BSSRDF/BRDF plus something like HDR and a couple more of things...

White papers for all this kind of imagery generation comes from Siggraph and other image synthesis places, it's just... kind of a demonstration

(But to be honest, I think ATI cards could also be able to do it, slower or faster... I won't say, just... doable)

Just my 2 cents.

Yes I think the idea here would be that one to four Fermi's can render these scenes in the time it would take a large render farm to do the same.

[Atomizer]

Honestly, judging from the video, they are 3d, which is a composition of real photos, much like what we have already seen, I dont think they are actually 3d models, but a generated 3d scene from photo data.
Still, this doesnt seem to have much to do with nvidia itself, but rather their photo->3d technology

[autobot]

But....there was an nVidia card installed when they rendered them. So that means the nVidia is responsible for the amazing graphics no matter what! :rolleyes:

he looks so sad :(

Maybe he didn't like the photographer. :)
