Is it me or is GG not turning off SSS in regular gameplay?
Absolutely insane.https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/...?ncid=so-yout-405983#cid=sigg21_so-yout_en-us
From Our Kitchen to Yours: NVIDIA Omniverse Changes the Way Industries Collaborate
Talk about a magic trick. One moment, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang was holding forth from behind his sturdy kitchen counter.
The next, the kitchen and everything in it slid away, leaving Huang alone with the audience and NVIDIA’s DGX Station A100, a glimpse at an alternate digital reality.
For most, the metaverse is something seen in sci-fi movies. For entrepreneurs, it’s an opportunity. For gamers, a dream.
For NVIDIA artists, researchers and engineers on an extraordinarily tight deadline last spring, it was where they went to work — a shared virtual world they used to tell their story and a milestone for the entire company.
Designed to inform and entertain, NVIDIA’s GTC keynote is filled with cutting-edge demos highlighting advancements in supercomputing, deep learning and graphics.

OK - when they did the camera pan initially at GTC - i thought they stop framed the image and made a CG version of the scene just for the final frame as a gag. I literally, never, ever in 1 million years would have guessed the entire freaking presentation was not real. This is beyond the pale. Incredible rendering and performance.https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2021/...?ncid=so-yout-405983#cid=sigg21_so-yout_en-us

Meta will spend any amount of money to make Zuckerberg look like a member of the human race.Not in game, but Meta's human capture research is coming well
This push for rapid development of VR and AR in the context of creating a Mera-Verse-like world is creeping me out. We are gonna become the humans from Wall-e. And we are gonna like it, like the winpy-ass cowards that we are. Its depressing to see it happen, and not be enough of a force to stop it. All I can do is mock it, but I know that won't stop all the 20 year old virgins that already happily live 90% of their human interactions through fortnite to say I'm just old and don't get it.
I fear this stuff, in the longer run (centuries), helps pave the way to a possible trans-humanist extinction of actual biological humans.
