Re: Simulation-Based Content Creation
There's a few systems in use for offline rendering and of course there's good simulation available in engineering software but for realtime work it's still a way off being viable. Things like chaos or working with voxel data are as close as you'll get in games -
Fully Interactive Surfaces
http://www.battleteam.net/tech/fis/ All I can say is WoW and why are most developers not doing this? Imagine playing a spy game where you actually had to ssh to remote server become root and shutdown a system to pass a certain point in the game :-) Why dont most developers take advantage of this? -
