Real-Time Subdivison Surfaces

Saw this over at CGSociety, and thought it was very interesting. If something like this were implemented well, it could mean major strides forward in the graphics department of video games. And we all love graphics, am I right?:poly142:

Oh yeah, Carl did the influential UV Help MAXScript back in the day, a decent Relax tool before Autodesk fixed theirs.

Looks like cool stuff.

Similar tech has been discussed before. A search for "tesselation" will dig up more threads.

Hehe are they really trying to make us believe its the same asset except without textures?

That's really the worst example ever for an application for this, he should be showing off this tech where it could be really useful, smooth round mechanical stuff, vehicles, supersleek spaceships etc

Looks to me like the same model, but with displacement on the left vs. normalmap on the right. Yeah, not a good example for subdiv.
