Demoscene and Spore?
category: general [glöplog]
kusma: i'm not sure at all, the thing we found suspicious was that the connection between the limb and the body looked very smooth and the limbs got connected if they were too close to each other
I guess Gargaj has the point. I've taken a look at wireframe. Most of the triangles' edges are aligned with the axes and are of constant length, which brings to the idea they've performed some sort of polygonization for that volume.
kusma: they don't have to perform polygonization for the whole domain, but may just connect separately polygonized primitives (e.g. using sort of CSG performed on triangle basis). This could potentially decrease the number of function evaluations due to more narrow domain (their grid looks like 70x70x70, but might be bigger - though I couldn't make a bigger one).
I don't have NVidia card here, if I have more time later will try to investigate a bit more.

Something interesting is when you have a long, thin limb - that axis-alignment and constant length of edges is REALLY apparent then.
Seems like a MC blob indeed where every bone gets a scalable sphere for the mesh, next to that the spine itself works as your average weighted bone-system.
Bah, wake me up when Spore 96k is released.

Did you ask him what he thought about all the penis creatures?
@elsewhere: with the creature editor they tried to prevent obscene things to be created to some extend. It was kind of expected that people would initially try to make penis-creatures.
I wonder how their creatureIsObscene() method is implemented.. it's obvious it doesn't really work that well :p
i wonder if there is one or they just filter the names or so.

I thought Spore was inspired by Saulin Penis at first
phallusliike thingamabob #653!
So if anyone is still interested, some basic reverse of Spore:

...dont tell me that's YOUR livejournal...
garg: well, yeah and what's so disturbing about it =D
... you could've at least fucking TOLD me :D
gargaj: erm, I've probably missed the moment when it was appropriate.
