Can AI up graphics?

[Animl-AW]

Can AI up the resolution or polly count to take squareness out of round objects?

[GOODBYE]

I think that’s what anti-aliasing is for but I’m not a big computer guy so I’m not sure

Not in what I’m talking about.

I just think to draw new players the graphics need to be upped at least a notch. Byproduct would be some have to tweak up machines.

I assume after years of PC upgrades there is some headroom to notch it up

Number-wise, we’re not in good shape.

Great to have updates, but we need a draw

As much as I would love a graphics update - im sure we are still a long way away from that.

One thing I would like to see which may be doable now is reduce the lag and warping when large number of aircraft are in the same area.

Scenarios have become increasingly difficult to fly effectively in since the bomber group of 50+ planes start warping all over the place, this happens for almost everyone. That and planes don’t explode or catch fire they simply disappear… looks terrible in films.

Ya, I know.

Wasn’t thinking near future.

That warping is a buzz-kill

. That and planes don’t explode or catch fire they simply disappear… looks terrible in films.

That explains it! I was watching a video of the scenario and saw a 190 attack some bombers and they just disappeared and I was wondering what happened.

[MDStampf93]

Was it one of my videos? I’ve got a few out now from the scenario and yah… it looks terrible to see a bomber just disappear from sight. Seems like an easy fix since it doesn’t always happen, maybe Hitech can figure it out

You should start a new thread. I dount this one will even be viewed

'round' depends on poly count and smoothing groups assigned to blend across them. (learned earning a degree in CAD engineering long ago). It would mean the AI would have to re-make the model, matching the texture map as it went .. the AI of today could prolly do it. Among a ton of other processes.

Good to cya lurking GE

Ya I figured as much on poly count and models. It wouldn't be a fast project even with AI, it would just be much faster with it. My guess that old skewl manually it might take about 6mos to a yr.

I value your input on such things.

I was having negative flash-backs until the seasoned AI came along. I've moved from despair to a cautious hopeful. High-hopes is reserved. Ha!

Skins were made at a higher res and I think higher polly count models too, but not sure if they'd get trashed. AI could prolly fix that too.

Was just a thought, I don't expect any other response.

Thanks Animal .. people said I was 'purty good' at that whole 3d modeling, mapping and animation thing usin DOS3dStudio then 3dMAX I taught Vossman and that 'new guy' who worked on Battletech (shame that never went live, it was lookin awesome!) .. Vossman and I genned up the 3d models and textures in about a month for each aircraft. We rocked HARD Voss really had a passion for the WW1 aircraft.

I still have 3D Max Studio on a drive somewhere. I remember I gave a copy either to you or BB at some point to do updates.

We need a major draw here.

Better graphics means some systems will be forced to upgrade graphics card.

Better graphics means some systems will be forced to upgrade graphics card.

Most games have settings to support several levels of capability. I think flight sims have driven the push for more powerful computers over the last 40+ years. Particularly in graphics processing. So in a way, flight sims are responsible for the growing capability of AI today.

That DLSS 5 is all the rage at up-doing graphics
