Quoting: CreakThe rest is mainly Sony with its PS4. That's why Nintendo announcing they're supporting Vulkan just isn't enough. But if Sony announces it, it might change the situation.

It would be awesome if Sony added Vulkan support to the PS4 or the PS5 and above. The PS4 is still killing the Xbox One in market share (even if the XO has outsold the PS4 in the past few months) and having Sony in the Vulkan camp would be beneficial.

this "out sold" is bullshit, its only counting one or 2 regions, if you count the entire world, PS4 still is owning due to japan.

Quoting: t3gIf AAA developers and publishers bring their game to he switch and are forced to learn and use Vulkan, it is a huge benefit for everyone as they may use Vulkan for their PC releases too.

Right now, even with Nintendo using Vulkan, DirectX is still more interesting. Having a graphics engine based on DirectX ensures to have a game compatible with Windows and XBox. It's like 50% of the market. The rest is mainly Sony with its PS4. That's why Nintendo announcing they're supporting Vulkan just isn't enough. But if Sony announces it, it might change the situation.

sony is part of the Khronos Group /Vulkan group
i'm not sure if it has to do with ps4, or smarth tvs/phone, more likely PS4.

you forgot something.
Android!
Android will suport vulkan!
the games may not be the same, but if the engines share code...

Quoting: m0nt3The blender render performance is significantly worse in Windows, I rendered at 2:24 in windows vs 1:14 settings appear to be the same.

we should show something like that for more people, and imagine how fast the demo would have being if it where on linux

Have you used Blender's renderer? Especially the new one, Cycles. It's pretty realistic (ray-tracing). Lighting computations in particular are ressource intensive, and most of the time, that's more or less regardless of the complexity of the scene (though post-processing or complex feature can also have a big impact), but more dependent on resolution, anti-aliasing, . The degree of realism here is yeeeeaaars ahead of video games (i am still longing for real time raytracing). Plus, you would also have a hard time playing a complex 3D game just on the CPU, just saying :)
Plus, this is a pretty important benchmark for any 3D artist, there are not only gamers in this world.
To put things into perspective, IIRC, for the movie Avatar, each frame took around 24h to compute on a very big GPU farm...[/quote]
the issue is, its an accurate simulation but the end result dont look good anyway, they didnt make realistic materials, they did it for the other program wich is realtime, so you have acurrate raytrace on materials that look fake and not so acurate on materials that look real.
it made blender looks like a piece of crap for those who arent behind the details Behind the scenes

can someone explain me, why the hell their logo take so much to render?
they put countless polygons on a plane just to make it take more time to render?
why not show an impressive demo like try to render some frame of sintel at any resolution?
the other demos where more impressive, the blender demo made blender looks dumb.

Quoting: TheSyldatAny of the Ubisoft game really. I feel (stress on this word here) that if at some given point in time Linux get enough momentum that it cannot be ignored anymore , Ubisoft will be the last one to take the plunge.

All of the other big players are wether you like it or not keeping an eye on what's going on if only for the sake of knowing where the wind blows.

But Ubisoft seems to me that even that surface level of checking out every once in a while is not even there at all .

So yeah it would blow my mind to be proven wrong byy Ubisoft and seeing one of their big release poping up on Linux as well...

ubisoft ported growhome
