It's a really resourceful link, I watch today and for example I find this presentation
It's named Quadtree displacement mapping with height field blending and it's from the team in charge of Two worlds 2 developers. It was at time clearly over my head but nevertheless interesting.
Basically the pages is updated so there is no need for further update, really resourceful link I owe to Alstrong.

liolio · 04-Oct-2009, 15:09

Thanks I'll update the main list

@Nano thaks for the link too but it was already in the "beyond prgrammable shader" from siggraph 2009
it's id tech challenges.

By the way I add some link I found in the 3D tech forum interesting stuffs about a Siggraph 2009 available on bungie.net
the same page pointed to AIT pages too with a lot of content too.

liolio · 17-Oct-2009, 14:14

Some updates, by the way could somebody find a better name for this thread... I'm growingly unhappy about it

Shifty Geezer · 17-Oct-2009, 14:40

How do you feel about my title change? Good thread BTW.

Have they always charged for stuff on their website? I think that might be one of the reasons some links are missing. Like Unreal Engine 3 presentation.

AlStrong · 21-Oct-2009, 16:01

The 1337 link was the free stuff.

I know this is a silly question but how do I view these presentations?

AlStrong · 26-Oct-2009, 15:50

The pptx files? You'll either need the Office 2007 compatibility pack or Office 2007.

Dr. Nick · 26-Oct-2009, 16:07

For some odd reason when I clicked on the epic links it gave me a .zip file instead I just renamed it to pptx.
