General: World of Darkness Teased in Cloth Simulation Video?

MikeBMikeB Community ManagerAdministrator RarePosts: 6,555


CCP Games and NVIDIA have released this latest video demoing their cloth & hair simulation tech. CCP is using PhysX 2.8.3 and NVIDIA APEX Clothing technology to achieve the effects seen in the video.



Outside of the impressive physics feat on display in the video, the particular assets being used to demo the cloth and hair effects look like they could come from CCP's World of Darkness MMOG. Perhaps this is also a bit of a tease?


Watch the video here.

    It has to be from world of darkness. They are totaly flirting with us. I was very impresed with the Video. I am not pleased with myself but I am really looking forward to this game. After everything we have seen in the industry it's cool that something is coming that still make me feel that way.  The World of Darkness games were my favorite pnp settings baring everything apart from Rifts. CCP pls don't mess this one up. I will give you a Dairylea triangle if you don't.:)

    I must admit the video made me squee like a girl, but I really shouldn't get ahead of myself, or lead you guys on. It could very well be nothing, but there is no harm in hoping.

    I am a huge WoD fan. I received the Vampire: The Masquerade 2nd edition rulebook for my 10th birthday. Pretty unusual desire for a 10 year old I'd say, but hey, it is what it is!

    Even if it is not WoD, the tech itself is pretty impressive, and I'd love to see developers push the envelope with MMOs for once. What better platform to push this kind of technology than a genre that aims to produce believable virtual worlds?

    Thanks for the vid, looks amazing.

    I think you're right too, that certainly has to be some sort of a tease. If I remember correctly, EVE's Ambulation project was going to be used as a sort of testing ground for CCP/White Wolf's upcoming World of Darkness. It would make sense since I highly doubt that the actual Fashion Designers they have on board to work on Ambulation/WOD would be designing "goth" style outfits for the Caldari/Gallente/Amarr/Minmatar races. Ya never know though ;)

    LOL 10th birthday? fair play man, I didn't even know rpg's exisited when I was that age. The closest thing i had were my Fighting Fantasy game books. I think my parents would have sent me to therapy a lot earlyer:) but I digress. As far as the video, it's a Goth girl looking clearly vamped up. If its not anything to do with there World Of Darkness game then they are the being giant teases and I intend to write them a very strongly worded letter.......spelt better than this post....probably!

    One of the reasons I love CCP so much is that they are always trying to push things to the next level.  Regardless of whether you like EVE itself, you can not deny that CCP are innovators.  Their successful single-server game world is a very impressive feat.  The technology they use to run and make their game is very cutting edge.

    APEX for clothing and hair.  Enlighten (Geomerics) for incredibly realistic dynamic lighting.  Things that have never been implemented at this scale.  Absolutely can not wait to see what else they have in store.  It makes me giddy thinking of how much work and effort they put into making sure their products are of high quality.

    Edit:  It is, in my opinion, probably part of the reason CCP has taken so long with Ambulation/WiS/Incarna.  They work with the companies that make this technology, and it's likely that the majority of people on their staff haven't worked with this tech before.  So imagine having to train your staff to use the software AS you're developing the end product.

    OMG! Mike, can we put the forum up now? Please!!! This game is numero uno on my personal watch list. From this video alone I'm already in love with the visual aspects and detail of the game. There is no doubt in my mind that these are assets from WoDO. If CCP only gets 50% of the gameplay I like right with this one I'm on for the duration.

    This made my day Mike. Nice find. VERY NICE FIND!! I'm going to go break out my World of Darkness books and start writing the outlines for the backstory of a Vampire and a werewolf character!

     

    Edit: This is something that I would surely slap a few grand down for a new gaming rig in a heartbeat!

    We can't do the forum until we have the listing, and we need assets / info for the listing, of which we have none at the moment. :( Cross your fingers for E3!

    I was knee deep into Dungeons & Dragons at 12 years of age and have been hooked since then. My gaming group just finished our own campaign world based on Advanced D&D and played our first night this past Saturday. D&D and WW World of Darkness have been my all time favorites followed by Gamma World, Shadowrun and Mechwarrior to round out my top 5 (though honestly I can't number them 1-5; it just depends on the moment!)

    I remember the first time my mom saw one of my D&D books. She said "This isn't some devil worshipping stuff is it?". I told her that yeah there were demons and devils in the game but they were there so that we'd have something to fight against. She gave me a shaky "ok, just don't do anything to end up in jail." response. Well, so far so good mom!

    Lol I wish I could say the same:) Top 5 pnp systems is a top idear though, maybe we should start a thread. I did enjoy Rifts slightly more but I never got attatched to my rifts characters like I did to my WOD characters. I remeber this Assamite Antitribu I used to play. He was a blind assasin. Really creapy old man with a sword cain called Mr yousif. Playing him I used to get really freaked out, he was a prity scary individual and to this day I really don't know were a lot of the stuff I said in charcter came from. You really dont get that with any other system.  Dark scary awsomeness. I would set him against any twilight vampire any day:)

    Looks very impressive actually. I wonder if the clothes can get wet?


    I think WoDO will add a lot of things we are missing in todays MMOs, I can't wait :)

    If anyone can do it, my bet is on CCP. They are but one on a very short list of MMORPG Devs that I still have faith in. I genuinely believe this game could revitalize the genre. Here's to hoping.


    P.S. so is it WOD, or WoDO....I just want to get it right.

    When this will come out I will unsubscribe from any games I will be playing and will focus on WoD. Sorry other game developers, CCP (bunch of vikings living on rock in middle of ocean) is the only company that have balls to bring something new, different and fun.

    It will be out in couple years most likely. By then I think I will be able to run it with more than 1 FPS :P (I hope so)

    It's already out :))) and in some games already included


    second video card need to work whit PhysX :)

     That just looks amazing. I get a feeling WoD could be a major contender when it gets released if the game shows as much promise as this video.

    My hopes for this game has brigthened a little bit more.Can't wait to here an official announcement from CCP.

    That's a funny thing actually, CCP has basically said nothing so far about the game. My only fear is that they're teasing us with the game way too early for their own good (like, 2013 release or something). E3... /fingers crossed.

    Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.
