*** Apologies for Cross-posting *** Naty Hoffman, Activision Inc. "State of the Art in Game Console Graphics"
Friday 14th May 2010, 2-3pm (BST) Room 1.10, Kilburn Building The University of Manchester The lion's share of game graphics R&D is targeted to consoles, where graphically intensive games sell the most copies. Although the hardware has not changed in the last five years, gamers still expect graphics to continually improve. Meeting this expectation requires efficient use of hardware resources and careful selection of graphics algorithms and techniques. This talk will describe the current state of the art, and go over the graphics techniques that have proven most useful in console game development. ----- Part of http://manchester.siggraph.org/ ----- Anyone wishing to view via Access Grid should note the following.
