2016-06-08
what's up guys i'm dimitri with her economics I'm back in the office but the Computex courage still continues we have few videos lined up for you today we're talking about in the video hardware canucks is at another fantastic computech show all thanks to nvidia fantex NCIX and msi so aside from showing off plenty of Awesome VR demos all around the floor there vr village and at first of its kind PC configuration that I've seen with triple gtx 1080 GPUs on a single system and I just want to confirm or clarify that this was running in two-way SLI and the third graphics card was dedicated for physx and the system was running fun house with an HTC vive which was showcasing all of the best of the pest VR graphics for fluid simulation fire shadows and all the good stuff now talking about VR and try to explain what that experience is like it was a lot more challenging through text and video then actually having to experience it and that's why Nvidia had this large room so that everybody could come in and try out all the types of demos for themselves so they could potentially be those potential buyers but another super cool thing that I'm excited about is nvidia and soul so what the video Ansel is it's a game image capture tool or like a photo studio for pc game that grants you freedom to pause the game free roam the camera so you can move it anywhere you want with the idea to capture incredible in-game photography and that is actually something more and more people now becoming more interested in and not really having the tools to do it like what nvidia is trying to push forward so you could potentially explore your artistic direction of expression through in-game photography with capturing just the environment at your end with all the assets and you know game engines without the user Hut I personally cannot wait to try Ansel and see what type of images i can get with my own creative mind but it's not as easy as simply jumping into any game and naval and console so first the supported game list is very short with only seven games supported at the moment and I asked them why and it is based on the relationship between Nvidia and the game developer and how much freedom the developer wants to give Nvidia since you have pretty much all the controls on to play around with on like the field of view color and texture information you have some special effects in there and different types of capture format so either just an image or a full 360-degree VR capable capture and so we put it on the HTC vive and jump to Witcher 3 and explore that game at the moment of time when that frame was captured and right now I think that Nvidia answer would be the perfect gateway developing that ecosystem for VR capable capture with this free roam camera perspective can't wait for that one of the most important elements we are told would be figuring out the right LOD or the level of detail so for example if you're capturing the resolution of 20 X of the native resolution of the game or you monitor how much detail is preserved for distant assets objects and textures and that again comes back to the developer and how much they communicate with NVIDIA so that you can have either unlimited access or some sort of you know the bracket of all this information now a few concerns regarding this program lie in multiplayer and in the games like the vision for example right now that is supported how do you avoid players from cheating from entering this free camera movement system looking behind corners gaining a bird's-eye view to see encounters ahead of you so it becomes like a balancing act between figuring out the system so that people don't abuse the system beyond what its tended to do you know people would want one make some awesome images but how do you avoid from people trying to abuse the system to gain advantage and game especially in multiplayer this would be a really cool thing to see how they tackle that issue but this idea of having a photo studio for a pc game is so awesome you know explore your creative direction if you're not under this or visual person you could potentially try this and see express your creativity through in game engines without HUD create all types of beautiful images can't wait to try this of course I want to make them make this clear this being in a video product it is locked to nvidia gtx GPUs can't wait to get my hands on it and we'll be doing a full video on it so make sure to subscribe guys thank you so much for watching what do you think about nvidia on so are you excited let us know in the comments down below I'm Dimitri with Harbor canucks thanks much for watching we'll see you in the next video
