ideas for TAtmosphere

Euclideon is a total scam It's just an oct-tree voxel engine that's searched from the leaf nodes instead of the root from what I've heard them say about it. It has all the same downfalls I've already described. All that has been seen is a voxel engine demo with no *proof* of what hardware it's running on (would it of killed them to go into the device manager and show us?).

Trust, total scam. There are professors of mathematics, graphic algorithm experts, that have dedicated years of research into voxel engine rendering techniques, it's from these kind of people that the concept came from in the first place, first demonstrated at Siggraph.

You can't just skip over the mathematics, they're lying, we're talking hardcore computational theory, it can be shown that you need to do the calculations without even doing the calculations.

Plus any form of interaction with that voxel world can only happen in the classical oct-tree way, so essential things needed to make it a game engine will force it to work in the classical sence anyway.

It's no good rendering anything for a game if you can't calculate it's position, you don't want to walk thru walls and you'd like your bullets to hit your target.


And even if a bunch of coders really have some amazing new way of culling visible data that the worlds finest minds couldn't think of, the amount of data storage required to store a voxel world? say the biggest quake3 level, at a voxel resolution so you could walk right up to a wall and voxels were one pixel in size, you're talking many terabytes of data.

And to top it off go and read any technical info they've released, it's how they say it and what they don't say, total frauds just looking to get a government grant, which they did.

nearly 3 years ago this was all said, where is that tech? where's the updates? where's the latest videos? Their aren't any.

Even if they really genuinly thought they were onto something, then they have no doubt hit the inevitable conclusion that their solution is not viable when all required functionality is concidered.
