00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.160
if you're a gamer you've probably had this experience there's some much

00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:12.240
anticipated AAA title that's coming out soon and the game developer drops this

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:17.080
epic looking trailer that makes the game look like the culmination of Humanity's

00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:21.000
progress at least as far as computer Graphics are concerned but then the game

00:00:19.439 --> 00:00:25.640
gets released and you're left feeling a little bit like you did after you ate at

00:00:22.880 --> 00:00:29.000
Golden Corral drawn in by the promises of affordable attractive looking food

00:00:27.599 --> 00:00:36.680
but ending up with nothing but the stomach ache you got after after trying out that chocolate fountain thing so why

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.760
is it that games often don't look like

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:41.520
their trailers well companies jazzing up

00:00:39.760 --> 00:00:47.520
their advertising to make their stuff seem cooler or more delicious than it is

00:00:44.440 --> 00:00:49.680
isn't exactly new NVIDIA gameand this

00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:54.559
often takes the form of rendering trailer footage using a completely

00:00:52.480 --> 00:01:00.239
different enginear more about game engines here but the gist of it is that

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:04.839
a game engine is the software frameware the game is created in that ultimately

00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:09.880
defines how it will look on your screen lighting effects physics textures Etc

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:15.680
well then what kind of engines do trailers use isn't computer Graphics

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:21.280
rendering pretty much all the same well no the computer animation software that

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:26.600
would be used on a film like Avatar which media division handily listed here

00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:31.159
is designed for maximum Beauty and detail with I don't want to say zero but

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:36.840
very very little regard for the resources required to render the scene

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:38.759
to put it in perspective a single frame

00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:44.759
of a big budget movie like Pixar's Monsters U might take hours or even days

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:50.320
to render on a large multi-million dollar render Farm while the typical

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:53.479
gamer expects 60 plus frames per second

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.039
from their $200 video card from Amazon

00:01:53.479 --> 00:02:00.360
add to that that the trailer doesn't need to work with any input from the

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:05.560
player so no way no Collision detection no camera angle

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:10.920
changes no realtime hair physics the list goes on and it's not surprising

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:15.879
then that they end up feeling like artsy short film side projects sometimes

00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:21.879
looking at you Final Fantasy with that said some developers are a little more

00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:26.959
honest and do use the game's actual engine but even in those cases they

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:31.560
often come out looking a lot cooler than the game itself this is because the

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:36.599
developer has access to graphical settings modifications that they might

00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:41.400
never plan to expose to the end user for whatever reason watch talk and

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.840
furthermore for the purposes of a trailer the developer isn't playing the

00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:51.879
game so even if the scene render super slowly the frames can be stitched

00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:57.959
together into a smooth video to be used in the trailer later on so even for

00:02:54.760 --> 00:03:00.760
trailers labeled actual in-game footage

00:02:57.959 --> 00:03:06.360
I only 100% trust them if I can see the dev on stage pressing the controller

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:09.280
buttons in real time on the subject of

00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:13.560
time however as transistor sizes continue to get smaller and materials

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:18.400
other than silicon should be showing up on our processors over the next decade

00:03:15.239 --> 00:03:21.000
or so the next big leap in home computer

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:24.799
Graphics might be closer than you'd think I mean do you remember how amazing

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:29.319
Toy Story looked in 1995 I can say with confidence that you

00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:33.599
could play a Toy Story game that looks just like that today that is to say

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:38.400
unless you're still rocking one of those super old graphics cards with like

00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:44.400
fighter jets or attractive cyborg women on the Shroud so bad speaking of bad you

00:03:42.200 --> 00:03:50.360
know what's bad getting home at the end of a long day of working on painting

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.319
houses or you know making cool crafty

00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:57.439
things that you sell online or Plumbing or whatever it is that you do if you're

00:03:54.239 --> 00:03:59.879
