Speed Tree Leaves Animation

When wind is average or even small it is very noticeable effect like leave moving and changing color because of up and down leaves color difference. What about adding sprite sheet animation to leaves. I mean split leaves texture into 4 or 16 sprite and change UV directly in foliage shader ( may not performance impact ). Right now big chunks of leaves moves like one peace that looke quite strange.

Circle zoo

Imagine zoo that designed like a a lot of bridge connected circle spaces. At biggest radius we have predators that like to run at huge open spaces. At lower radius we will have animals that dont need so much space like turtles etc, That way animals that like to run will have endless way to run.

SpeedTree optimization

All we know that on proper distance SpeedTree convert mesh into a billboard. And there is a lot of billoboards rendered at same time that dramatically use GPU resources. What if cover all non transparent area of billboards with polygons like 2D game do and save fillrate.

Music to location

Imagine mobile app that set music according to your gps location from global database. Also with google glass we can set music according to things around based on frame delta data.

Witcher Display Driver Stopped Responding

Witcher 3 Display driver stopped responding and has recovered was related to NVidia GPU but this happened to me at AMD HD5870 and Windows 10 Technical Preview

I've tried a lot of different methods but those one was not found anywhere and it's helped me.

1. Download AMD 12.10 Display Drivers here:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/version_history.cfm/ati_catalyst_software_suite_vista_64-bit

Yeah it is very old drivers but I believe they are not updated major things since that time for HD 5xxx series.


2. Unplug Internet or Turn off Internet.


3. Uninstall driver at Device Manager in Uninstall and check remove all related software.
This will make windows working with no drivers at all and in device manager you will see VGA display adapter instead of your GPU.

4. Install old display drivers.

5. Go to Troubleshooting panel of Win 10 and do Recover Startup where Force Not to Check driver signature ( because drivers are old they are not digitally signed for Win 10 ).

6. Start Witcher 3. At that moment it works well all the time.

7. Plug Internet it will update some drivers files to 5/22/2015

8. Play Game.

Neural Network Force Raytraced Graphics

Image 3D scene that have rendered with low raytrace quality, I mean a few rays or couple of reflections. What if process final picture with neural network that can interpolate between bad rendered picture and hi quality render. That can save a lot of render time or make it even real time.

Soul

Everything in the University can be described as wave. Even materia is kind of a wave. So what if soul is just a signal and our mind is a complicated neural network receiver of that signal. Of course that signal can fade in or fade out like any energy, but can exist out of body. That's describe works well with White Noise film as well.
