I have been given five minutes, no more, to explain to you what unlimited detail is.

I stopped watching here, when the lies began.

[Cthulhu]

I think it looks cool, and I've always thought that voxels were cooler than polygons, but that guy is so patronizing.

I agree with Armok. I believe this is possible about as much as I believe perpetual motion machines are possible.

Unlimited Detail is a software algorithm that gives unlimited geometry. When we say “unlimited geometry” we really do mean it. It really is Unlimited, Infinite, endless power, for 3D graphics.

If they really had infinitely powerful graphics, then I could draw a functional CPU inside their 3D engine that's twice the size of the actual physical CPU running the machine. Since these are real-time, the inside CPU would be twice as fast as the real CPU simulating it. I would draw a hard-drive twice the size of my real hard-drive (remember, INFINITE POWER) and install two copies of the 3D engine inside of itself. Then I would write a script to do this all over again, inside that hard-drive.

Presto, infinite processing and memory. It'd be trivial to write a version of Maxwell's Daemon to break the second law of thermodynamics.

Sup dog, I heard you like computers, so we put a computer in your computer, so that you can compute while you compute.

I am waiting for the SDK also.

Who knows? It could be exactly what he is talking about, it's pretty implausible, but hey, that's what they said about personal computers!

[sneakey pete]

Well enjoy your wait. as far as i can tell this video was posted up in 2008 aswell.

[Jakkarra]

He did say sixteen months.

[bombcar]

He did say sixteen months.

After funding. Have you funded him?

[Jakkarra]

Sure, why not.

[Enzo]

It certainly seems like a sound investment.
