Cool.
Now let's see it in action instead of just seeing a tech demo.

^^You can trust Notch on this since he programs for a Java-based game that uses Voxel graphics.

Oh, THESE guys again. Listen, until these guys can animate something without reducing the frame rate to 3 frames per second, I'm still calling them a fucking investment scam.
EDIT: I'd make a joke about a Drinking Game involving taking a shot whenever you hear the words UNLIMITED DETAIL, but I think it would kill you about 3 minutes in.

Man, what a stereotypical thing you just said there.
When even official video game creators rebuttalled that back at you, you KNOW this is no scam.

This is the most irritatingly written press release I've ever heard.
"unlimited detail" is certainly nonsense.

Seems like their main selling point is the ability to build all or most surfaces from 3D objects instead of flat (albeit high-res) textures. The 'unlimited detail' would refer to the fact that surface textures can remain 3D-looking no matter how much you zoom in.

Notch did mention other Voxel engines, though.
Actually, Cube 2: Sauerbraten also works off of Octrees, but I don't think that's a Voxel engine.

This engine looks really shitty. I mean really shitty. Like I am about to stab myself in the eyes at the repetition shitty.
Please.

They're still made up of a network of points. At high zoom you'd just see a bunch of spheres floating in space, presumably, like reality.

I'll believe it when a company actually gets their hand on it. Right now, it looks very much like a scam.

I think it has potential.
Kotaku AU did a follow up and actually interviewed the guys.

Seems like they've got a 2 mill grant from the Government.

I'm going to bed soon. I'll get back to everyone in the morning.
They're not accepting donations. If it was a scam, wouldn't they accept money? The interview that I've posted, though, makes it clear that he's using 8GB of RAM in his laptop.
this thread has been locked due to being a duplicate of this one.

Here it is, its still incomplete right now, though.
Imagine Team ICO with their hands on this.
