| 1s | it's time to go on a captivating journey |
|---|---|
| 3s | into the artistic essence of Eve online |
| 6s | please welcome to the stage CCP Benson |
| 9s | and CCP blue |
| 29s | screen |
| 59s | try |
| 89s | TR |
| 95s | hi |
| 111s | it hello |
| 114s | FanFest |
| 117s | yo uh thank you for a great couple of |
| 119s | days so far thank you for a great pop |
| 121s | call yesterday anyone from Team 13 here |
| 125s | Team 13 yes |
| 129s | nice |
| 130s | okay I am cgp blue screen and I'm cgp |
| 134s | benon and uh yeah it's great to see you |
| 137s | all again back at |
| 139s | FanFest |
| 144s | um as you are hopefully aware we are |
| 148s | here representing team Tria the art and |
| 151s | Graphics team of uh EV on line and uh |
| 154s | building a better universe is what we do |
| 157s | uh so 20 years ago this is how it all |
| 177s | started and it was beautiful back then |
| 181s | and uh it really |
| 183s | was and all the years since we've been |
| 186s | hard at work keeping the Aesthetics |
| 188s | fresh and Cutting Edge as ever many and |
| 193s | uh many steps has been Tak toward |
| 197s | that um so I've been here for about 15 |
| 201s | years I |
| 202s | remember making two of these assets back |
| 205s | in the day authoring effects on Gates |
| 208s | there was a premium client and a basic |
| 209s | client don't remember if you remember |
| 211s | that I don't know if you remember that |
| 213s | that was uh now it's just called high |
| 214s | and low settings |
| 217s | um and then in 2007 Along Came Trinity |
| 222s | with a huge Graphics |
| 225s | update one of the many |
| 228s | Milestones uh later came the V3 |
| 239s | overhaul |
| 241s | and uh that soon move on to |
| 243s | V5 where we introduced the PPR based |
| 247s | shaders uh updated textures and this |
| 250s | included many major polish to textures |
| 252s | and yeah Shad updates we quickly Mo on |
| 255s | to V5 plus |
| 257s | plus where we reintroduced the fourth |
| 259s | material that we lost in the initial PBR |
| 261s | conversion and we also added the |
| 263s | adjustable dirt maps that we have |
| 266s | today and then just recently we gave e |
| 269s | Eve another all around polish with what |
| 271s | we called the uh Delete the gray |
| 276s | initiative uh and so with these and |
| 279s | countless other updates Shader |
| 280s | developments and model texture updates |
| 283s | and effects updates Tech |
| 286s | editions uh and with the ongoing ship |
| 289s | redesign initiative we continue like |
| 292s | with the rifter |
| 293s | here getting its new recent update here |
| 297s | and refined design so from 20 years ago |
| 300s | until today looks something like |
| 311s | this screen got |
| 315s | bigger and but we're never done as much |
| 317s | work as we put into adding and |
| 319s | supporting new features with Graphics uh |
| 321s | we spend probably the same amount of |
| 323s | time uh keeping everything fresh |
| 325s | updating and maintaining like existing |
| 327s | content and so this year |
| 330s | we for instance updated all of the 68 uh |
| 335s | Empire frigs gave them a major effects |
| 338s | love pass um so many features new |
| 341s | features and lights have been developed |
| 342s | since they were last touched |
| 346s | so yeah they all got |
| 349s | a pass and you know we're not done with |
| 353s | these but this is yeah |
| 355s | amazing and also this is tied to the new |
| 358s | to the warp state many of these lights |
| 361s | making things more Dynamic here the |
| 362s | lights turns red for the uh warping |
| 367s | animation and also other effects as it |
| 369s | added just like when it comes out of |
| 371s | warp here you see that little gas cloud |
| 374s | from the |
| 377s | back uh but yeah we didn't stop with the |
| 379s | frigs also the Marauders received a |
| 382s | comprehensive effects update updating |
| 384s | the Bastion modules along with just the |
| 386s | general effect pass so all in all we try |
| 389s | and we feel we do pretty well at uh at |
| 393s | updating these things |
| 395s | but it is of course hard to please all |
| 399s | of the pilots all of the |
| 402s | time uh current graphic effects are kind |
| 405s | of weak that's |
| 409s | rough so yeah this is something our lead |
| 412s | effects artist CP M uh found roaming the |
| 416s | uh Eve subreddits he was not impressed |
| 422s | obviously so uh out did the torpedo |
| 427s | effect so M had to do something about it |
| 429s | so our effects Department went straight |
| 431s | ahead and went to work on the missile |
| 433s | impact |
| 434s | effects uh the missiles will now explode |
| 438s | outwards uh in opposite direction of |
| 440s | impact Vector which looks and feels |
| 442s | right asides from the thermal |
| 444s | ones uh just had to be a sphere because |
| 447s | it just looks great and it also really |
| 449s | differentiat from the other |
| 451s | ones and also for the first time now the |
| 453s | missile impacts will be contributing |
| 455s | lighting to their surrounding |
| 457s | environments this really ties it |
| 460s | together you see it here on the gate on |
| 463s | the on the right side |
| 465s | here so that's |
| 468s | awesome uh and here going from what they |
| 470s | looked like |
| 475s | before game pay relability of the impact |
| 478s | should now be immediate like through the |
| 480s | shape language and visual visuals so |
| 483s | it's super important that you can tell |
| 485s | the damage type of whether you're being |
| 486s | hit with Kinetic explosive |
| 488s | electromagnetic or thermal thermal |
| 494s | missiles um so yeah that is just |
| 496s | important when we introduce new gamep |
| 497s | play you know that that that the players |
| 499s | can tell what they actually do so now |
| 501s | they look like what they |
| 503s | are um so a bit of subreddit CCP please |
| 507s | does actually work from time to time |
| 509s | yeah |
| 511s | and So speaking about visual language |
| 512s | you all got a new way of expressing |
| 514s | yourself in space this |
| 517s | year with the skinner and the new |
| 519s | structure skins so for for art there |
| 522s | wasn't a lot of actual content work on |
| 524s | the structures themselves um many of us |
| 528s | the upw structures that we have um |
| 530s | included in this were ready for this |
| 532s | there was a lot of technical work so our |
| 533s | Graphics programmers were more busy |
| 535s | probably than us in this feature |
| 538s | here there was a lot of stuff to |
| 540s | integrate the space optic Factory and |
| 542s | make this work with that but for us it |
| 545s | was more about looking at pallets uh |
| 548s | material areas what material areas to |
| 550s | use and what |
| 551s | not |
| 553s | um and materials just like uh the |
| 558s | different types of materials color |
| 560s | Shades building a library for this |
| 568s | basically and then trying out different |
| 571s | uh combination and testing |
| 573s | setups how it all C comes out also |
| 576s | looking a bit forward |
| 579s | um here we're trying with the pattern |
| 582s | projections that are not available yet |
| 584s | but you know you never know maybe it'll |
| 586s | come but this is just a few uh basic |
| 588s | gradients used on the structures in |
| 591s | addition to the material |
| 595s | areas and uh but probably the biggest |
| 598s | update on the pure content side |
| 601s | connected to this was uh giving all the |
| 603s | maor Up structures like a lighting |
| 607s | update so we updated the lighting of all |
| 609s | these structures gu they really sorely |
| 612s | needed it added Point lights and |
| 613s | spotlights and hes and like new hologram |
| 618s | details and even added some new geometri |
| 621s | some of the structures with new paint |
| 628s | areas |
| 630s | uh this was partly done simply because |
| 631s | that we really needed to do this visual |
| 633s | update to the structures but also to |
| 635s | facilitate any future possible like |
| 637s | customization of the lights of |
| 639s | structures by getting this up to date we |
| 641s | are opening up for the possibility of a |
| 642s | future where lights is part of your |
| 644s | structures color |
| 647s | pallet and that is super |
| 653s | nice uh so your lights really should |
| 655s | match your structur color palette and |
| 657s | there was a lot of tech involved in |
| 658s | making this work |
| 660s | uh so again yeah lot of work and on our |
| 663s | Graphics programs for |
| 665s | this uh but quite often artist very |
| 668s | dependent on advances in the graphics |
| 670s | Tech so he just had a presentation with |
| 672s | engine engine and they of course let us |
| 674s | do a lot of stuff we do last year we |
| 676s | talked about the improved Lots on |
| 678s | measures and the improved lots and |
| 681s | textures and also Ling on sub sh objects |
| 684s | like turrets and more stuff like that uh |
| 687s | and this year more advanced uh more some |
| 689s | advances has been made uh some of them |
| 691s | you just saw if you were in the |
| 693s | presentation |
| 695s | before um but there were other things |
| 697s | like historically we've been packing all |
| 699s | of our eight in-game textures into three |
| 701s | compressed DDS files uh this means that |
| 704s | each texture often gets a single channel |
| 706s | to live in which does not help its |
| 708s | quality uh can impact it quite a bit but |
| 710s | that is no |
| 711s | more uh now we no longer pack our |
| 714s | textures but simply compress them into |
| 715s | eight individual DDS textures and this |
| 719s | gives us are some noticeable uh quality |
| 721s | improvements for sure and it also means |
| 723s | that we can go in and remove individual |
| 725s | textures and that makes more sense now |
| 727s | so um so that's actually also what we |
| 730s | did this |
| 732s | year no more static occlusion |
| 736s | Maps uh now this is something that we've |
| 738s | wanted to do for a long time uh and with |
| 740s | the modular hangers uh that we've been |
| 742s | rolling out uh and releasing this has |
| 744s | really become |
| 745s | evident um so ssao that we need some |
| 749s | Dynamic you know ambient |
| 753s | occlusion uh and you got this with s and |
| 756s | finally killed off the static occlusion |
| 760s | maps and also for like our more modular |
| 763s | approach of assembling scenes and |
| 766s | environments this is super |
| 771s | important and here's a few examples this |
| 773s | is from the abyss here you see on the |
| 775s | big rocks here they don't actually have |
| 777s | ambient occlusion M but with the ambient |
| 778s | occlusion comes |
| 780s | in probably more evid here you see this |
| 783s | Travian extraction note here um on the |
| 789s | Rock so this really subtle but it really |
| 793s | adds and ties the room ties the scene |
| 795s | together much more nicely uh but our |
| 797s | amazing friends in team engine were not |
| 799s | done here uh because we also went ahead |
| 801s | and updated the in-game Shadows what we |
| 804s | had before was basically one Shadow map |
| 807s | per object with the limitation of 16 |
| 810s | objects so 16 shallow maps and that's a |
| 813s | problem 16 shallow Casters in modular |
| 816s | AET scenes and will lead to like Shadows |
| 818s | popping in and |
| 820s | out so let's not do that anymore what we |
| 824s | are going to do instead is we are going |
| 825s | to partition the camera Frost into |
| 829s | multiple |
| 831s | frosta I asked our tech people for that |
| 834s | sentence I don't know what that |
| 837s | means and then we a shadow map for each |
| 841s | srom uh so that allows us to render an |
| 845s | unlimited amount of Shadows now uh so |
| 847s | that is awesome but uh it's still not |
| 852s | super nicely defined so we also looked a |
| 854s | bit on the quality of the shadows and |
| 856s | yeah they got a lot better as well super |
| 864s | nice uh so with unlimited crisp and |
| 867s | sharp Shadows coupled with the s this is |
| 870s | extremely important for us moving |
| 871s | forward with complex modular |
| 874s | environments and scene creation uh here |
| 876s | see the Shadows again before and after |
| 879s | oh my God nice very |
| 883s | nice uh and now also they render on all |
| 886s | settings the Shadows apart from disabled |
| 888s | of course but like with the filtering of |
| 890s | Shadows being adjusted to allow a |
| 892s | balance between quality and |
| 895s | performance we also talked a little bit |
| 897s | last year about the extension system uh |
| 901s | that we have been developing now known |
| 903s | as the layout system uh bringing with it |
| 906s | Hol extensions that can inherit space |
| 909s | object data like that is the faction |
| 911s | colors the logos lights and stuff and |
| 914s | all the |
| 915s | structures so they can inherit that or |
| 917s | reversely they can introduce new |
| 918s | factions and part another factions |
| 920s | within the same asset so that's a single |
| 922s | asset with many faction uh settings |
| 924s | that's new and that gives us many cool |
| 927s | options also so in this is |
| 931s | instancing where we optimize performance |
| 933s | while introducing large amounts of |
| 935s | geometry using the layout system and |
| 938s | finally within this Conta we also T |
| 939s | talked a bit about ship |
| 942s | extensions uh for this purpose we |
| 944s | Illustrated like adding plating and uh |
| 948s | wings and other exterior things to ships |
| 950s | like either simply to create like H |
| 952s | variations or maybe even to represent |
| 954s | like fitted modules and stuff like |
| 958s | that so that's a cool idea and we went |
| 961s | ahead and used that to |
| 963s | um use that this year some the ships B |
| 967s | go with |
| 968s | that there you go yeah let's |
| 972s | go let's |
| 977s | go so for these new destroyers we did an |
| 980s | update to the base t one hols to create |
| 984s | their new Navy |
| 986s | variations and on top of that we updated |
| 988s | the textures and we put the layout |
| 991s | system to |
| 994s | use those new destroyers are good |
| 996s | example of us starting to use this new |
| 999s | way of modifying our ships so here you |
| 1002s | can see the pieces that make up the |
| 1004s | modification to the |
| 1014s | thresher so textures being updated Parts |
| 1018s | added to change the silhouette and I'm |
| 1020s | topping it with a camo |
| 1029s | pattern the same approach we did with |
| 1031s | the |
| 1039s | Catalyst |
| 1042s | yeah nice |
| 1046s | nice same with the corser text |
| 1049s | part and for the first time Amar Navy |
| 1053s | camo |
| 1060s | pattern so be the thought behind these |
| 1063s | visuals is to like make the ships feel |
| 1067s | more fitting for its |
| 1074s | role and the last but not least the |
| 1077s | corant so obviously this is a fairly |
| 1080s | recent Hull and the base didn't need |
| 1083s | much |
| 1085s | updating but you |
| 1087s | know a little bit meaner so more |
| 1091s | plates a little bit more |
| 1098s | beffy we also did the Navy thread |
| 1102s | knots so here you see the |
| 1107s | knar the re re ation with whole changes |
| 1111s | and a new |
| 1115s | camel the moros yes getting much |
| 1122s | tougher and the Phoenix we had wanted to |
| 1125s | give the Phoenix an overhaul for some |
| 1126s | time so we used the opportunity and |
| 1129s | updated it completely |
| 1137s | uh |
| 1143s | so this collection of ships gives you an |
| 1145s | idea of where we're heading with |
| 1147s | modifications to our ships and tto |
| 1149s | variants in the |
| 1153s | future um since last FanFest we |
| 1157s | introduced the new Apple hangers and |
| 1159s | with those came the new capital |
| 1161s | hanger uh a good home for these new |
| 1164s | thread |
| 1167s | nuts |
| 1176s | yeah I think we need to restart the |
| 1177s | presentation I think |
| 1179s | so can we do a quick |
| 1197s | restart |
| 1219s | so all of the Apper structures received |
| 1221s | new hangers each stylized and themed for |
| 1224s | their respective function and mood that |
| 1227s | includes different visuals and audio |
| 1229s | environments for each distinct structure |
| 1232s | type that help reflect the state and |
| 1234s | life of the structure in |
| 1236s | space this hunger project was very large |
| 1240s | on our end a lot of new features and |
| 1242s | performance achievements came with it |
| 1244s | that benefit benefit us into future |
| 1257s | projects |
| 1287s | sh |
| 1296s | so trying to emphasize the difference in |
| 1299s | the |
| 1300s | interior to reflect the outside look and |
| 1303s | function of the |
| 1317s | station |
| 1347s | s |
| 1354s | so if you're not seeing this in game |
| 1357s | Fuel Up yeah so talking about that could |
| 1360s | we could we again drop the Jeter |
| 1362s | backdrop I think it turned on when we |
| 1363s | restart the |
| 1366s | presentation |
| 1377s | uh |
| 1381s | so audio indicators visual |
| 1384s | indicators for the structure |
| 1387s | States and if you're seeing these you |
| 1389s | should maybe start looking for another |
| 1391s | real |
| 1407s | estate |
| 1414s | so when we were looking at this hunger |
| 1416s | project we very much kept the empire |
| 1418s | hungers in mind we designed and |
| 1420s | concepted some ideas for each Empire |
| 1423s | some of those goals for us would be to |
| 1426s | achieve a visual progression for the |
| 1429s | player difference between regions and |
| 1432s | security status and |
| 1435s | customization so one of the key unlocks |
| 1438s | for us in producing these having a small |
| 1441s | art team is being able to build assets |
| 1443s | faster making prototypes and not over |
| 1446s | designing before trying things |
| 1448s | out so here's a prototype of calar |
| 1451s | hanger using the methods we learned from |
| 1453s | the Apper |
| 1467s | project |
| 1481s | nice yeah |
| 1483s | sweet uh so like you seen with the ships |
| 1485s | and with the hangers this is a holistic |
| 1488s | approach in improving our Pipeline and |
| 1490s | creating new assets and it also applies |
| 1493s | to |
| 1494s | structures um so how we're building like |
| 1498s | libraries for modular use uh for |
| 1501s | instance we can go back to the to the |
| 1503s | jeta station the new jeta station which |
| 1504s | was very much built in a modular |
| 1506s | approach so if you want to try and build |
| 1509s | a modular library for a structure |
| 1511s | library for kalali we could go back here |
| 1513s | and identify again modular pieces that |
| 1515s | we can then Harvest here throw |
| 1520s | out and then we can consolidate all the |
| 1523s | pieces into you know into actual small |
| 1526s | pieces finding building blocks and |
| 1527s | create a |
| 1529s | they going to use here's connection |
| 1532s | pieces you know and platforms small |
| 1535s | structures big |
| 1537s | structures you can then combine these |
| 1540s | again and use them to build |
| 1543s | infrastructure you around |
| 1545s | Gates around |
| 1548s | stations and uh and also the fleet ters |
| 1551s | that was introduced as part of the |
| 1553s | factional Warfare |
| 1557s | content |
| 1560s | uh this method gives us you know ways to |
| 1562s | build quickly and uh by using ready use |
| 1566s | like assets that fit together and so |
| 1568s | here we're using the Mina modu library |
| 1570s | to quickly Build A Min Mina scene this |
| 1573s | is for this is a war zone Plex for the |
| 1575s | minata war zone and the factional |
| 1585s | Warfare and here is example of the G the |
| 1588s | Plex uh again using a gend modular |
| 1591s | sets |
| 1597s | Amar and |
| 1599s | calar so it's super nice to have these |
| 1601s | sets like a lot of new assets available |
| 1604s | all of a sudden uh and also for the faal |
| 1606s | Warfare content we use these to create |
| 1608s | the |
| 1612s | battlefields and this module approach is |
| 1614s | really key for us like with a relatively |
| 1616s | small art team uh uh this gives us this |
| 1619s | makes us able to like build varied and |
| 1621s | complex |
| 1622s | environments um you know in a reasonable |
| 1624s | time and and iterative iterated |
| 1630s | pace and it's not just environments like |
| 1632s | these uh that where we can use these |
| 1634s | modular sets and where they're helpful |
| 1636s | uh also more complex and unique assets |
| 1639s | from the factional Warfare campaign is |
| 1641s | an example uh we can uh show the Stellar |
| 1644s | transmuters also here like modular setes |
| 1646s | came in extremely handy as we could |
| 1648s | construct these you know with a |
| 1649s | combination of tailor made geometry and |
| 1651s | and the modularity on |
| 1677s | top |
| 1681s | yeah those are cool and much the same |
| 1683s | way we would also construct the ship |
| 1684s | casters uh which is also mix of custom |
| 1687s | geometry and the Empire modular pieces |
| 1689s | on |
| 1693s | top so this way we've added quite a bit |
| 1695s | to our environment the last |
| 1704s | years you know new asteroids expanding |
| 1707s | our and structure Library modular sets |
| 1711s | uh better and more varied postprocess |
| 1713s | templates and environment effects so |
| 1717s | what's next what's the next step and |
| 1719s | like to really up our game and to take |
| 1720s | us into the third decade we wanted to |
| 1722s | take on something that's been high on |
| 1724s | our list for quite some |
| 1725s | time that is volumetric |
| 1728s | clouds so now we have clouds in Eve many |
| 1731s | clouds but historically they all been |
| 1733s | represented representing Cloud we've |
| 1735s | been representing the clouds and smoke |
| 1738s | uh as static images and particle systems |
| 1741s | uh the most OB obvious example being our |
| 1744s | nepus those represent clouds but they're |
| 1747s | static and 2D as it gets uh but |
| 1750s | obviously we have clouds and smoke that |
| 1752s | are more Dynamic and volumus |
| 1755s | um such as seene clouds fire smoke and |
| 1759s | many other effects uh but basically they |
| 1761s | just 2D images you know obviously not |
| 1764s | always static but using texture atlases |
| 1766s | and color ramps and particle systems |
| 1769s | camera facing particles and various Shad |
| 1771s | Tech you can manipulate the 2D images |
| 1774s | and mask them together and you can |
| 1776s | create something to mimic uh cloud and |
| 1779s | smoke like here on uh on one of our |
| 1783s | minat |
| 1788s | stations so that's basically what it is |
| 1791s | the images facing the camera and within |
| 1795s | that some Shad of tech happening |
| 1799s | and you know it's it's it's that's about |
| 1802s | how they work and it's definitely not |
| 1803s | all bad they are relatively easy to |
| 1805s | author and Implement and they definitely |
| 1806s | look good for specific |
| 1808s | purposes but it's not an actual volume |
| 1811s | it's just a lot of 2D planes and that |
| 1812s | illusion can easily break depending on |
| 1814s | the use case and also with particle |
| 1817s | systems like this if you really want to |
| 1818s | create like dense effects like if you |
| 1820s | wanted to try and hide this station here |
| 1823s | behind the clouds you will often end up |
| 1824s | using a lot of particles and that |
| 1826s | creates overdraw and that creates poor |
| 1829s | performance uh and also it doesn't |
| 1831s | always quite work anyways the illusion |
| 1833s | will break when you get up close and |
| 1834s | interact with the clouds like if you try |
| 1837s | and fly through the clouds there's a |
| 1839s | perceived density will shift every time |
| 1841s | you break through one of those 2D |
| 1844s | images so to continue to strive for |
| 1846s | striking and immersive environments we |
| 1848s | wanted to try and create an actual dense |
| 1850s | volumetric cloud and not for the first |
| 1852s | time either we actually used uh |
| 1855s | volumetric clouds in the an early |
| 1857s | version of them in in the |
| 1861s | abyss uh this this earlier version did |
| 1863s | not have the definition resolution and |
| 1865s | just general quality that we would want |
| 1867s | for for up close gameplay they didn't |
| 1869s | support Dynamic lighting and shadows and |
| 1872s | these clouds are generally just used |
| 1874s | around the dungeons so outside of the |
| 1876s | actual play Space so that's good for |
| 1878s | this purpose and like the abyss place |
| 1881s | play Space lend itself nicely to that |
| 1884s | because you're locked in a |
| 1886s | bubble uh but now we want to fly through |
| 1888s | them we want to hide structures inside |
| 1890s | them you know we want to re receive |
| 1893s | shadows and receive light and add to the |
| 1895s | scene Reflections so to create the |
| 1897s | actual 3D volumetric data we turn to |
| 1902s | empen uh a real-time fluid simulation |
| 1905s | software that lent itself nicely to this |
| 1907s | purpose here we can author the |
| 1909s | volumetric clouds in voxal using |
| 1912s | emitters forces and collision |
| 1914s | volumes uh and then render out the |
| 1917s | temperature and density and then within |
| 1919s | our own pipeline we can then convert |
| 1921s | this information into two 3D |
| 1924s | textures and now import that uh and |
| 1927s | start optimizing and authoring the cloud |
| 1929s | because it's not cheap Vol metric data |
| 1932s | but uh for example amongst many |
| 1935s | optimizations for performance you can |
| 1937s | cut down on the iterations which in |
| 1939s | turns then creates this under samping |
| 1941s | and aliasing effect you see here uh so |
| 1945s | to contract contact this we introduce |
| 1947s | noise |
| 1949s | and then you can blur the noise to |
| 1952s | further smooth out your cloud and |
| 1954s | effectively in the end cutting down the |
| 1956s | aerations up to 10 |
| 1957s | times uh and now we can also in our own |
| 1961s | pipeline Al things like Cloud color both |
| 1963s | with a color ramp and with an all flat |
| 1966s | color and we can add lighting to the |
| 1969s | cloud so both to light up the cloud |
| 1972s | itself but also uh for the light to |
| 1974s | light up its |
| 1976s | surroundings |
| 1980s | we can also author the clouds effects on |
| 1982s | the scene |
| 1984s | Reflections so on the right here you can |
| 1986s | see the scene reflection map as the |
| 1987s | reflection probe generates it in real |
| 1989s | time and you can see the proxy |
| 1991s | reflection of the cloud being rendered |
| 1992s | into |
| 1995s | that uh so with this and a bunch of |
| 1997s | other tweaks authoring options and |
| 2000s | performance |
| 2001s | optimizations we end up with our |
| 2003s | finished volumetric clouds in |
| 2006s | client |
| 2010s | yeah super nice super |
| 2018s | nice and uh we ended up authoring |
| 2022s | somewhere around 44 of these new o |
| 2025s | metric clouds that to initially use in |
| 2027s | the home front |
| 2028s | environments um yeah so let's uh take a |
| 2032s | look at that came out |
| 2034s | amazing and uh here's one of the Amar |
| 2037s | dungeons and you can see how you can |
| 2039s | actually just block out all stuff like |
| 2040s | this asteroid gets hidden in the cloud |
| 2045s | density uh the overall density is by the |
| 2047s | way something we can easily adjust in |
| 2049s | our own pipeline after the cloud has |
| 2051s | been authored in |
| 2053s | emogen and was also a bigger bit of work |
| 2055s | on our engine people to make sure that |
| 2057s | the clouds play nicely with everything |
| 2059s | from explosion effects and glass |
| 2061s | surfaces alphas and much much |
| 2064s | more but yeah in the end we were really |
| 2067s | happy with what we ended up with uh |
| 2069s | these lot clouds work really well to |
| 2071s | bind together our Dungeons and |
| 2073s | environments and assets and creating |
| 2075s | super immersive environment we we always |
| 2077s | strive for so yeah this is a good way to |
| 2081s | enter the third decade of Eve and uh we |
| 2084s | put together a short video here just to |
| 2086s | let's have a better look at these |
| 2088s | environments so let's check that |
| 2096s | out |
| 2197s | awesome wow so go blow some stuff up |
| 2199s | inside volumetric clouds |
| 2204s | nice so |
| 2208s | clouds with further use of our |
| 2210s | volumetric Cloud TCH we wanted to try |
| 2212s | and create a new environment centered |
| 2215s | around clouds key point points for this |
| 2217s | new environment were bright cloudy |
| 2220s | backdrops with a feeling of danger with |
| 2223s | contrasting ominous Jian |
| 2225s | structures kind of the opposite of our |
| 2228s | current abicial |
| 2231s | space we went into our archives and duck |
| 2233s | up some environment Explorations from |
| 2235s | the past some of those were based around |
| 2237s | exploration into Old Jo |
| 2244s | territory we had discussions on |
| 2247s | reinvasion in |
| 2248s | Jo went through old Concepts and |
| 2251s | new and figured out how we would make it |
| 2254s | fit into our vual goals of creating this |
| 2257s | bright hazardous |
| 2260s | environment because when you're dealing |
| 2262s | with Jo it's easy to slip into dark and |
| 2265s | Moody |
| 2268s | visuals so a bright disastrous |
| 2271s | environment napula was created that |
| 2273s | pushed us back onto Target getting us |
| 2275s | closer to the feeling of being in a |
| 2278s | disastrous |
| 2279s | Sandstorm here you can see the new |
| 2281s | nebula of |
| 2287s | sasak the scenery needed new assets we |
| 2291s | wanted to place ourselves in a certain |
| 2293s | age of Jo that age has its visuals based |
| 2297s | on oily Sleek metal and primitive shapes |
| 2301s | like the current dormant Jo |
| 2306s | Observatory |
| 2307s | we wanted players to discover this new |
| 2309s | region of sasak through a puzzle of |
| 2311s | finding new gates which would lead them |
| 2313s | closer to Jo here's an early exploration |
| 2317s | for those gates with a very organic and |
| 2319s | aggressive |
| 2322s | look another one more simplified and |
| 2326s | structural feeling more |
| 2329s | organized and the final one a blend of |
| 2333s | organized bent oily metal on top of a |
| 2336s | very organic interior hinting at a more |
| 2339s | sophisticated Joes with a shift figured |
| 2342s | out at least on the |
| 2346s | outside a lot of detail got crammed into |
| 2348s | this asset using our extension |
| 2353s | system letting us go a lot further in |
| 2356s | detail than previously possible with our |
| 2359s | old |
| 2364s | assets to emphasize the organic element |
| 2367s | and scientific feeling of Jo we created |
| 2370s | visual effects that display more Tangled |
| 2373s | mathematical |
| 2378s | forms so the first asset into this new |
| 2382s | region the gate a visual Target for Jo |
| 2386s | space |
| 2395s | assets |
| 2418s | in this new space we needed a central |
| 2421s | location for previous Jo |
| 2424s | habitants here are early explorations of |
| 2427s | such a structure following the same |
| 2428s | ideas as with the |
| 2431s | gate another idea for the |
| 2436s | structure and the final one an inactive |
| 2440s | Jo puzzle piece one of the largest known |
| 2443s | structures in the |
| 2450s | game same as with the gate we went way |
| 2453s | up in polygon count and detail for the |
| 2455s | model and its |
| 2485s | extensions |
| 2518s | so where are the Jo there are no signs |
| 2522s | of them in this new space other than |
| 2524s | their barely working and abundant |
| 2526s | structures which seem to have been |
| 2528s | kickstarted by a newly surfaced faction |
| 2531s | called the |
| 2534s | deathless the deathless is a new faction |
| 2536s | for us they're a hybrid faction mixed |
| 2540s | together with the calari and minmatar |
| 2544s | Empires their look is based on mixing |
| 2547s | the best functional parts of these two |
| 2549s | empires and fusing them together with |
| 2552s | their signature exoskeleton technology |
| 2555s | and a lot of |
| 2560s | tubing so the attached components |
| 2563s | together to get the best out of |
| 2566s | both with this new faction like we did |
| 2568s | with the Travian in early days we were |
| 2571s | imagining how the death flesh might look |
| 2573s | and feel if they would do a |
| 2575s | takeover |
| 2578s | because they are not only bound to |
| 2580s | kalari and minat Hardware here are some |
| 2583s | work in progress ideas that show |
| 2585s | modifications to the app ship |
| 2592s | platforms so a modified small ship |
| 2595s | platform Modified by the |
| 2599s | deathless and here you can see it hooked |
| 2602s | into deathless |
| 2605s | technology |
| 2607s | in the same way changes made to the |
| 2609s | medium shap |
| 2612s | platform and held in place by the |
| 2615s | deathless signature exoskeleton |
| 2618s | Tech this is a bit of a sneak peek for |
| 2621s | what deathless could |
| 2626s | become as deathless move on with their |
| 2629s | exploration of Jo they realize that more |
| 2632s | hands are needed on Deck so they send |
| 2634s | out an invite to a proper pirate party |
| 2637s | an invite is sent out to the cistas and |
| 2640s | the angel |
| 2643s | cartel to bring the angel cartel up to |
| 2646s | par with the cistas we Revisited the |
| 2649s | angel cartel Des sign |
| 2651s | language here are some of those |
| 2656s | ideas this is a new Angel cartel |
| 2659s | Destroyer design sleek and aggressive |
| 2661s | its iconic cockpit |
| 2664s | area and plenty of turret har |
| 2668s | here is the Angel cartel battle cruiser |
| 2670s | design same sleekness and aggressive |
| 2672s | pointy bits equi with a similar cockpit |
| 2695s | design |
| 2709s | and of course the one we couldn't let |
| 2712s | wait any |
| 2714s | longer we took a lot took a look at all |
| 2716s | the signs we had for this one then |
| 2718s | previous and the previously revealed |
| 2721s | Concepts so in the left corner with some |
| 2724s | iterations on it like you can see from |
| 2726s | left to right we try to get it into the |
| 2729s | new visuals of where we wanted the angel |
| 2731s | cartel to be giving it the same |
| 2734s | sleekness aggression and pointy |
| 2738s | bits we gave it the four states of its |
| 2744s | being gave it wings and |
| 2749s | thorns and its final beast-like |
| 2752s | form the angel cartel |
| 2755s | Titan |
| 2772s | yes so that's for us for now come and |
| 2776s | chat with us in the art |
| 2777s | corner where we'd like to get your |
| 2780s | feedback and say |
| 2784s | hi yeah we be there the rest of the |
| 2786s | today questions and everything like that |
| 2788s | please come to the out Corner feedback |
| 2790s | anything it's super useful for us and |
| 2792s | helpful and uh yeah and it's just nice |
| 2795s | to see you all so all come by there's |
| 2798s | room for all you yeah yeah that's |
| 2808s | right click it yeah |
| 2815s | oh |
| 2875s | for |
| 2971s | see you at the out corner thank |
