Forget Bump mapping!!! Displacements maps are much better. Displacement map is a very powerful and cool technique. You all know what bump mapping is, it's an enhanced normal map that can give an illusion of a bump. Game Example: Halo 2. That game uses alot of bump mapping. Displacement Maps create real bumps. The bumps that it creates can create shadows. With displacement maps you can create models that look like it has millions of polygons. The pic below is a good example of a displacement map. The model only uses 281 polygons. With this technique you dont need a powerful graphics chip. The only thing you need is a graphics chip that supports this technique. This technique will be supported by future graphics cards. Lets hope Nintendo will be implenting this on their graphics chip(for the Revolution). With displacement maps and cube mapping the revolution can create gorgeous graphics. Graphics that can compete and/or surpass the PS3 with only a fraction of the price. This is how Nintendo can create a low price console. So what do you all think?


[Edit] OMG!!! They are going to use it!!!! I just read Vapor115's thread about Nintendo's patent. This what it says:

[0034] The present invention solves this problem by providing techniques and arrangements in a graphics rendering system for the efficient generation of texture coordinate displacements for implementing at least an emboss-style bump-mapping texture effect without the need for the host CPU application software to compute the required texture coordinate displacements. An enhanced API (applications program interface) vertex attribute function capable of specifying three surface normals per vertex (i.e., the Normal, Tangent and Binormal) is utilized and the host CPU application software need only compute the required additional Tangent and Binormal surface vectors per vertex in object-space (model-space), in addition to providing the surface Normal and other conventional per-vertex attributes.

DS109: "are you allowed to disclose those 2 things?"

Almeda: "yes, Mario 20th Anniversary, GB Micro launch, All on 9-13-05 in japan."

Almeda: "9-13-05 on the U.S.A., on the other hands is 9-14-05 in japan.

Almeda: "Tuesday night... that's all I'll say."

Almeda: "I'll spread the word... because I know more insider details that I can't talk about right now, but if you want more... pay attention to AMN on Tuesday night... possibly other sites will follow too."
