Naty Hoffman, Activision Inc. "State of the Art in Game Console Graphics"
Friday 14th May 2010, 2-3pm (BST) Room 1.10, Kilburn Building The
University of Manchester
The lion's share of game graphics R&D is targeted to consoles, where
graphically intensive games sell the most copies. Although the hardware
has not changed in the last five years, gamers still expect graphics to
continually improve. Meeting this expectation requires efficient use of
hardware resources and careful selection of graphics algorithms and
techniques. This talk will describe the current state of the art, and go
over the graphics techniques that have proven most useful in console
game development.
