From AAA to Indie: Graphics R & D

This is a keynote I gave at "Theory and Practice of Computer Graphics 2013", held at the University of Bath in the UK.  My aim was to give some insight into graphics R&D both on a AAA game (SimCity) and on a small Indie title (our early work at JellyGrade). 

The SimCity topics covered include:

• • Interior Mapping

  • Relief Mapping

  • Signed Distance Textures

  • Facade Definitions

  • Impostors

  • Ambient Occlusion

  • Atmospherics

  • Post Effects

And on the Jellygrade side:

• • Fluid Simulation

  • FLIP

  • Brownian Motion

  • Volume Preservation

  • Variable Density Solves

  • Viscosity

  • Fluid Rendering

Materials:

• • PDF format (83 MB)

  • Youtube video.
