It uses a project add on named Paged Geometry :
incredibly optimised/fast for massive plants , trees on terrain,
even more dense than Oblivion and really fast/smooth !

perhaps more than in Crysis ??

http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=36655

Look at videos in the topic , they are incredibly great

If only 3DGS could have such quality add ons ??
That's not Conitec team that will bring such things , they have enought work
with all forecast things that are in it since one or more years

Well Ogre3D is a top 3D engine and is become more advanced each time.
Don't compare Ogre3D releases rate with 3DGS ones
Should 3DGS become open source ? i laught

I think it's possible to use it with 3DGS , caus that's open source.
But i doubt the author to be interessed to port it ...

What I understand from the introduction, it's simply advanced LODding.

Can be done in Lite-C, even if it won't be "100x" faster.

Wow, this is impressive. This pure huge amount of models rendered so fast, amazing. I am sure they use hardware instancing for that. And they probably use a distribution bitmap for the plants. I cannot imagine that an engine database for entities can handle millions of models so fast.

Did you see the dynamic shadows at the grass? Impressive!

If you are right then just do it! Plenty of people would be willing to pay for that and even some new 3dgs customers could be attracted

Well in theory it can be done, but it would be more convient to do straight-to-engine.
Also I don't have the time ^^

The most difficult part is to make just right LOD's, so the player won't notice the morph.

If you are right then just do it!

ahhhaaahaaaaaaaaa

Excellent Frank

ahahahahahaaa

like always , always same song : It's easy with 3DGS , 3DGS can do it
So why thousands of things people have said 3DGS can do have not been
done from 1,2 years ... even less TODAY complete
integrated system and editorsw Light/shaders/soft sahdows/lightmaps mixed
with ARE NOT HERE TODAY ???

Yeah 3DGS can do lot lot of things and you could make CRysis with it


ahahhahahaa Thanks for this great reply Frank ahhahahaa

What's so funny about his post? Lite-c is capable of it, maybe the things of which you speak are not here now but they will be, and they have nothing to do with the Dense Forest tool from OGRE because that's just a way to handle the scenery, which can also be done in lite-c

Oookay.. As I said, I don't have the time. Also I would have to dig in to the Dense Forest source and see how it's done there.

We also have C++ (as plugin) or Lite-C on our hands. I see no problem why it couldn't be implemented.

I never knew Acknex could be compared with Crysis, please explain.

Lite-C or C++ will not be the problem. We should rather check if gpu instancing is available in A7 or similar tricks they have done. I think we just dont have the knowledge to judge this so it is unfair to say: "It can be done" or "It can't be done"

At the end it is very easy to judge when we see it in real-time as a demo. Everything else is just small talk and probably not helpful as well.

Incredible how people don't understant the term TODAY
Yeah Lite-C can do it , 3DGS also : )

So DO IT

I can bet you within 6 months (perhaps more) , you won't have an editor for
terrain as complete as this one and as powerfull !

Yeah make one Crysis level with Lite-c (Lite-C remains 3DGS core engine
not comparable to AAA core engines layers implementatiosn to DirectX)

Well i stop here , i know the song 3DGS can do it , yeah i know
