It certainly was not my intention to open a new battle AMD vs NVIDIA. Therefore, as the message was again in the background, and any attempt to return to it was misinterpreted as an attack on AMD, I will leave for the last time my opinion clear on the subject of the tessellation. And this time I have to write XD
-I like tesselation like any other graphic effect that I know will improve with time.
-Crysis 2 does not use models with more detail. Simply use models with more subdivisions and complete with textures as displacement maps to relocate these subdivisions. It is not the traditional way of using tessellation, which includes more detailed models that replace the originals in short distances.
-These new subdivisions are evenly distributed by the model, when the best way would be to increase the density only in areas that appear rougher.
-An absurdly high number of surfaces and objects have incorrectly applied tessellation. I have tried to solve them in mod all as you can see in previous posts screenshots.
-There tessellation applied in places where it is not needed.
-The tessellation is very hardware demanding, especially when hardware is already stressed with other things.
Is it clear, isn't? So what was my intention in the post yesterday? That although all of the above is true, so is true that:
-The tessellation is highly optimized in CryEngine 3. If not, the excessive number of subdivisions will destroy any card more pronounced.
-If it's possible to have a high enough performance playing on "Very High" with the tessellation on, is that in fact, tessellation is not the number one performance enemy. Running game on ultra apply many effects that affect performance as much or even more than tesselation, which are far more subtle to visual quality. Period.
Anyone who wants to see here an attack to AMD or defense to Crytek or Nvidia, is in the wrong place.

Fui un ingenuo ayer pensando que con esas imágenes iba a dejar totalmente clara mi postura sobre la teselación. Siempre que haya discrepancias entre dos masas de seguidores, habrá jaleo. Sea esa la intención inicial o no.
Desde luego no era mi intención abrir una nueva batalla AMD vs NVIDIA. Por eso, como el mensaje volvió a quedar en segundo plano, y cualquier intento de volver a él se malinterpretó como un ataque a AMD, voy a dejar por última vez clara mi opinión sobre el tema de la teselación, y esta vez no me libro de escribir XD
-Me gusta la teselación igual que cualquier otro efecto gráfico que sé que irá mejorando con el tiempo.
-Crysis 2 no usa modelos con más detalle. Sencillamente usa modelos con más subdivisiones y los completa con texturas como mapas de desplazamiento para recolocar esas subdivisiones. No es el modo tradicional de usar teselación, que incluye modelos con más detalle que sustituyen a los originales en las distancias cortas.
-Estas nuevas subdivisiones de distribuyen de forma uniforme por el modelo, cuando el mejor modo sería aumentar la densidad solo en las zonas en que aparecerá mayor rugosidad.
-Muchísimas superfícies y objetos tienen aplicada la teselación incorrectamente. He intentando solucionarlos todos en el mod como podeis ver en capturas de post anteriores.
-Hay aplicada teselación en lugares donde no es necesario.
-La teselación es un efecto muy exigente con el hardware, sobretodo cuando el hardware ya está estresado con otras muchas cosas.
¿Está claro, no?
Entonces, ¿Cuál era mi intención en el post de ayer?
Pues demostrar que aunque todo lo de arriba es cierto, también lo es que:
-La teselación en Cryengine 3 está muy optimizada. De no estarlo, la cantidad de subdivisiones que muestra destrozaría cualquier tarjeta de forma más acusada.
-Si es posible tener un rendimiento suficientemente alto jugando en "Muy Alto" con la teselación activada, es que en realidad, la teselación no es el enemigo número uno contra el rendimiento. Poner el juego en ultra aplica muchísimos efectos que afectan al rendimiento tanto o incluso más que la teselación y que son mucho más sutiles a la calidad visual. Period.
Cualquiera que quiera ver aquí un ataque a AMD o una defensa injustificada a Crytek o Nvidia, se está equivocando de lugar.
Y ahora las cosas importantes. ¿Qué he estado haciendo estos días aparte de leer comentarios de gente metiéndome prisa? Pincha en "Read more"
I hope you like it and it can be helpful. / Espero que os guste y que os pueda ser de utilidad.
I WANT IT NOW!
ReplyDeleteWhen is it getting released??
ReplyDeleteSize of your Mod please??
ReplyDeleteI hope more than 2Go.
Merci ! Vivement la sortie !
ReplyDeleteThats great MaLDo!! Just a question what is "Reduced Tessellation" option?
ReplyDeleteI hope you will release it very very very soon! :D
Ooooooooohhh Yeahhhh!
ReplyDeleteNice, there is no Blackfire Mod anymore instead Maldo mod with Blackfire TOD
ReplyDeleteWonderfull !!!! I love your utility !!!! Want it ! Otherwise, your explanation is perfectly clear (and your tool is helpful) ! So let's cut with complaints.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!
ReplyDelete@AndreTM Reduced tesselation means there will be less number of tesselated textures
ReplyDelete@John, not exactly. It's a work in progress, but means:
ReplyDelete- Reduced number of subdivisions in bigger tesselated surfaces.
- Reduced global distance for start to tesselate objects.
- Change some tesselation to parallax.
so Maldo latest when we can get this?? i almost checking out ur blog every single hour
ReplyDeleteYou can get this when it'll be done.
ReplyDeleteMaldo has to add new features like Reduced Tesselation
Maldo hurry up man. they say the world might end soon.
ReplyDeleteI can see that Anonymous wants his drug ! Hurry up Maldo otherwise he might collapse ^^.
ReplyDeleteMany are loosing the focus. It's note AMD vs NVIDIA, it's PC vs Console.
ReplyDeleteAfter so many facts, it's clear that tesselation in Crysis was rush implemented just to justify DX11 marketing. It's incredible, but tesselation in Capcom PC Games, a videogame developer, brings much more detail to characters than implementation from a natively PC Developer has Crytek.
The full developement time was spent making Crysis 2 to consoles, a shame to us, PC gamers.
Like MALDO fantastic work on textures, we will need MOD for Tesselation and other thinks to make Crysis 2 really shine.
I rather think that Crytek has to patch Crysis 2 to make it as much moddable as Crysis 1 (2 runnables files for SP and MP).
ReplyDeleteMods gave most of the success of Crysis 1.
It would be the method to improve Crysis 2 and restore a Crysis 1-Like gameplay.
Maldo let me FTP the "unfinished" work. I will gladly test it for you and report back sir. i hav 2x580 gtx. it will be an honor to test the real crysis 2. 9/xx/11 release date
ReplyDeleteMaLDo, gracias por el mod tio, eres el mejor. Una duda, el configurador los sacaras tambien en español? (Seria genial) Saludoss
ReplyDeleteThanks maldo I really can't wait either for this release. You really know what you are doing and its great for the gaming/modding scene
ReplyDeleteI am fine with Super tessellation, as long as it's implemented correctly. I don't want to see barrels that are 10 sided and see flat surfaces that have a 20,000 poly count. Either everything is tessellated, non is tessellated, or tessellated correctly.
ReplyDeleteplease say your getting finished please!
ReplyDeleteI am a beautiful young lady. I love your work and if you release this mod right now, I will give you my number and address so you can make love to me.
ReplyDelete^ JAIL BAIT ^
ReplyDeleteGracias maldo por el laburo y la explicacion, estoy de acuerdo con eso y realmente es admirable la paciencia y el trabajo de tu parte.
ReplyDeleteSaludos =)
Maldo el configuration utility es prácticamente lo que soñaba, tiene una opción que quería yo, poder quitar el tessellation pero no la del agua....
ReplyDeleteIMPRESIONANTE
Muy bueno, esperando el release de tu utilidad :3
