Love the idea of how we can program - and not only light and pixels but life itself. In the right hands it all could lead to such wondrous and profound future but in the wrong hands and I worry we are .. we could be heading for a dystopian future sitting in s#it with VR goggles on visiting the hanging gardens of Babylon. whilst the word crumbles and decays even further around us.

CG Fans,

I always loved computerized geometry and back in 1992 started with computer graphics, (CG), spending my self out to upgrade over the decades, mostly on 3D computer aided design, (CAD). It seemed more seriously minded at first until the game market dominated the hardware.

The good thing was this helped bring PC prices down, but next the smart phone grabbed the market, and by now the top development money was spilled into consumer amusements and lower emotionality, instead of investing towards higher emotionality, of less fantasy prone spirituality.

I doubt the lower emotions will take mankind very far and doubt that digitized movies will offer more than the atmosphere of an arcade. It could remain a replacement for sports on TV of the old days, if not overdone. The costs of it reduce the over-distribution in markets, as its uselessness becomes apparent. This fact helpfully reduces some of the risk for the masses.

Yes there is the risk of self annihilation, with fantasies of having power-trips and ego- dreams, with shoot em up car chases, and the unshakable hate of competitors zapping it out. Could it possibly explain the growth of road rage? Can someone build a game which very intricately debunks the power and glory trip? CG could do it up, but financial types are too busy with power and glory..

If people never get involved with the natural world, there is the eventual disappointment with the repetitive digital content and recycled computer effects, which may wither life energies, because we are humans with actual organs to develop and a body to enable.

The digital markets can't supply products for free, and haptic devices are so restricted as compared with the organic bodies which we already possess. When will we become aware of Nikola Tesla's comment, to the effect we humans are already automatons, or robots. (So make the most of the robot which our body already is).

Electronic transducers are excellent for the building and manufacturing industries, and for countless implements to simplify organic human needs. Give us a better tools for soil analysis and rendering, to work on the land as backyard farmers. Give us accurate pollution monitors to challenge despoilers of organic life.

Misuses of any technology needs public analysis. We discuss medical and microwave abuses on PA, and this thread opens a new area for CG based technological discussion. Better uses for technological devices waits for artistic people to get a hold of useful devices and apps.

The design world forums have made great use of sharing (basically artistic) work. Artistic innovation for lower budget architecture or back to the land hobbit houses, lacks monetary stimulus, and this encourages rough and ready repurposing of junk, which in turn scares away progressive investment. Here we are.

The line between physical reality and imaginary creation inside human mind becomes blurred at least in modern digital computer age.

Anybody who has strong desire and enough time of learning can create a photorealistic 3D model using Blender software on desktop PC.

Out of curiosity or desire of having advanced 3D modeling technique, I took the online 3D model course which provide 50GB of video instruction files for Blender users.

Above trailer was made out of Blender by the course's instructor. To create photorealistic 3D model, you need a sounding 3D model. Rendering a 3D model produces 2D images.

creating a 3D model of the car on the course. (I spent few hundreds hours to finish 3D model of the car.)

I created a 3D model of my car.

I've been working on 3D model of USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) to improve my 3D modeling technique. ;)

A simple render image of DDG 51 3D model with basic effects. It takes few seconds to generate on my graphics workstation.

Apologies if this is n the wrong place or has been mentioned before, but what you are about to see the Unreal Engine 5 platform for the PS5, its a complete game design system that is almost indistinguishable between real life and virtual. Just remind yourself this are animated renderings by the gaming system - not live video - an entire city, including pedestrians, vehicles etc and being able to interact with all - mental :)

Vid 01 is the Matrix demo - Best Viewed Full Screen.

We know Facebook is upto big stuff with Meta and the virtual world of gaming is becoming insane. Where do you think its all going to go...

Vod 03 - The Station. Not Video footage, created with same engine :)

The last one - at the train station - was very impressive.
It would have been nice to see some humans to see how realistic they looked...

One thing to take into account - the graphic systems are limited to the platform that they are being displayed on.

So you will never really see how good it is because you are seeing this on your monitors and TV screens as well as the limited computers' power.

Production studios are always way ahead of the display abilities that are on the market.


If/when they inject it directly into a person's brain, then it will look as real as reality can be. Maybe more, which would lead a person to believe they were somewhere very special.

Yes, Wavydome.

What disappoints me completely in the whole world of games, computerised special effects in films, and actually to a large extent in films themselves is that they are only visual – whereas reality uses five senses. The hypertrophy of the visual to the exclusion of everything else is sick and makes sick. As far as I am concerned, all of it into the garbage bin.

And that is only when we think of reality as consisting of what five senses tell us. But if we add the sixth sense, or even other, meta-senses (like some people telling us that we have so many more bodies, because we have meta-chakras over and on top of the traditional number of six (or seven)), then the discrepancy is even larger. Wanting to see – the “scopic stance” – kills the infinitely more complex dimensionality of our perception of reality that our body with all that has been incarnated into it presents to us. Because we can see too much, we can no longer “see” (in the sense of Castaneda’s Don Juan Matus).

Games are the exoskeleton excretions of bodies that have become armour – having been for too long exposed to games themselves. The technological fascination is in itself the armour and the metallomorphic transformation of humanity.

Singularity, can you hear its heartbeat yet?
