GDC 2007 Talks and Downloads

Jesse Moody

I was wondering I had a giga pass at GDC 2007 and wanted to know if it is possible to download sessions for free or if they still had to be purchased.

I am trying to get the High Def Environments one that they guys from Crytek did.

It was awesome and I still have my notes but would like to see some things that I missed.

CMP is selling audio of the talks, but the papers/videos haven't been posted yet. They're supposed to be here:

Chris Evans gave the Crytek character talk, he'll probably post a link when it's available.

cool...thanks...I am looking for the high def presentation though as it had some stuff on foliage that I wanted to look at again.

Google didn't turn up anything. All I can say is keep checking the CMP page. I just found a bunch of good PDFs/PPTs on there, using my browser's Find to search for Download presentation ...

More Than Just A Pretty Map - Creating Next-Generation Materials for LAIR

Tech-Art Driven Shader Pipelines in 3dsmax

Innovative Studios - Team and Tools Behind Alan Wake

etc. etc.

A colleague pointed me to the vids on stage6.com, where I found this interesting Crytek video from GDC 2007.


Which led me to Christopher Evans' site. The video goes with his Powerpoint slides from this talk, by him and Hanno Hagadorn.
Evolve: Character Pipeline Advances for Next-Gen Titles

Well worth watching, and the PPT isn't bad either. I just ordered the audio.
