About Adrianne

[ChrisRay]

Nvidia said it themselves that human models are hardest to do/render because we see problems/imperfections because we're pretty much experts on our own speciies. Maybe I stare at female rearends too much but her rearend proportions seems a bit off to me.

Rearend? Pssh. Is ass out of style now?

 

[tongue_of_colicab]

People would think nvidia guys are perverts if they made a fictional character with nipples, but since shes based on a real person theres a good reason for them being there

Could you please explain to me whats wrong with nipples? I dont understand why you would make a fuzz about nipples or breasts or whatever. But than again, im not american.

Just trying to be politically correct

I wonder what will be ATI's answer. This can only result in new arms race.

This can only result in new arms race.

As long as it remains with arms and no escalation involving other body parts, I'm sure it is fine.

Thats a question from a answer which is the answer to your question

ps. I never said I had a problem with nipples.

This is one war I'll re-up for!

The problem with these demos is that the "real" Adrianne Curry is actually also computer-generated. Looking like her and looking like a real person are mututally incompatible goals.

Well, I keep checking at nzone.com for ful vids here :

http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_nvidia.html (go to video tab)

But as of yet nothing has been uploaded.

No new stuff here either:

Shes not super human, shes not even that pretty, its called make up and lighting, somthing that women have known about for a long time.

edit : though admittedly her arse (u.k spelling) is amazing, I would certainly enjoy slotting it right up there !

I wasn't suggesting she was pretty. On the contrary, I can't stand her. I think she looks positively synthetic.

 

[CNCAddict]

Hmm, the animation for the girl is pretty bad. Why aren't you guys talking about the water and smoke demos...those look extremely good. Especially the interactive smoke...that's just sick

 

[DudeMiester]

The thing that bothers me is that she blinks too fast. It's like the eyelids are there one frame and gone the next. They need to add some proper motion blurring.

 

[Evotistic]

Yeah the smoke demo is awesome, it's a real-time navier-stokes solver on a very high resolution grid. The other cool one is the cascades demo, all of the geometry in that is being generated from a noise seed procedually via geometry shader streamout. That's definately awesome, procedually generated terrain here we come.

ok, so we agree that shes not worth worrying about then.

And yes, Bring on the smoke demo, its AWE---f**kin--Some,

ps: just met a load of canadian girls 2nite and all I can say is...... pffft, waste of time. !!

Yes, but they... Actually, as a mild-mannered Canadian, I have nothing to say.

Adrienne was pretty much one of Nvidia's worst demo ideas ever.

She's not pretty..if you see the show she's annoying. At least get an proper, attractive model. Or Kate Moss (little dig there).

On top of that the little Adrienne demo linked is completely dumb, and not even graphically impressive, for last gen cards let alone G80.

On top of that went to Anand and a bunch of people are criticizing Nvidia for using a "porn" aka playboy, model. Yeah it surprised me a bit too, but it's just another symptom this marketing thing went awry.

Next ATI's demo for R600 will be Ruby lapdancing and stripping!
