By the way, I put "TBA" for the ones I haven't completed yet.

Senior Rendering Engineer Nicolas Schulz explains the implementation on the basis of several scenes in CryENGINE 3."

What does PlayStation 4 have to do with Microsoft's DirectX 11?

PS4 isn't using DirectX 11 but the same feature sets.

Nothing except that it has a GPU that is capable of doing all of that and more.

edit: Nevermind, apparently I was wrong.

It is using dx11 feature hardware.
But AMD has more features in their cards and that is what PMSL(?) and HLSL will expose on consoles only probably.

PS4 GPU is a GPU with DirectX 11.2+ feature set

Man all these pictures are making the wait for next gen worse and worse

Aw, I wanted to reserve the second post in case the first one got too big. Guess I'll have to use this.

While you're looking through DirectX 11 papers see if you can find the difference between DX 11.1 & DX 11.2 hardware features

Xbox One: DirectX 11.1+ AMD GPU , PS4: DirectX 11.2+ AMD GPU what's the difference?

JawzPause · Sep 11, 2013

Nice thread brah

Some material to pick from for the OP.

AMD papers: http://developer.amd.com/resources/documentation-articles/conference-presentations/

This paper is good, technology of first version of AMD's tech demo based on CryEngine 3

There are not that much tech overview presentation, but there are quite many feature specific presentation

Almost every engine is doing deferred right now.
AMD released the Leo demo with the 7xxx series.
Leo is an Forward+ renderer that uses GPGPU to cull away light.
And it has better AA support then deferred renderpipelines.
Could be a better way to support 4k rendering on pc given how it doesn't use a fat Gbuffer. At least this is what i remember from it.

That Deep Down SSAO pass is really ugly.

Yeah, Nvidia has been working with devs to implement significantly better variations of it. Durante's implementation in the Dark Souls Fix he built is also phenomenal.

That's mean wii u using Tessellation in Splinter Cell...!!!

You mean similar feature set. it's never the exact same.

Just about all GPU features are referred to by developers and manufacturers alike in terms of which DX feature set they best match, even though the hardware may not be using the API. It's a very handy shortcut understood by just about everyone in the field.

In addition to the Shadow Fall demo PDF, another recent one talking about just the lighting in SF is pretty good, too: http://www.guerrilla-games.com/publications/

Thanks for these - will be perusing through the Destiny one for sure.

Opensubdiv will be huge this gen. My favorite Next-Gen feature.

Subdivision Surfaces in Character Animation.

Call of duty: Ghosts is using subdiv on guns, characters and possibly environments, although idk if it's opensubdiv.

Guerilla finally released the slides from their 2014 GDC talk. Powerpoint contains a lot of videos, including footage of early concept work on their vision of what Killzone would be on PS4. They also discuss their lighting, reflections and other techniques, including that weird "temporal 1080p" they used for MP.

Finally got time to look at this. Seems their resolution method might be the way to go even for single player. They say usually a 80% performance gain with it. I wonder how that compares to gains with 900p?
