Runs at about 20-30fps on my 780@1920x1200. Don't really like the very strong motion blur but I never do like motion blur.

WE TOY STORY NOW

It's noticeably chunky on my 970 using the default windowed 1080p settings. Sounds like this thing is pretty VRAM heavy and it's probably choking on the 970's lower VRAM. Hopefully it will even out when I get my 980 Ti.

Still, 15 years after the PS2, we've finally gotten Toy Story in real time. That's a significant accomplishment no matter how you frame it. This is how The Elder Scrolls VI ought to look lol.

Given how one scene in this goes up to 78% GPU usage on a titan X OCd to 1410 core... @ 30 fps (@ 1080p only), I do not have my hopes that high.

This is how The Elder Scrolls VI ought to look lol.

With Gamebryo? More like XVI lol.

And this looks faaar better tha Toy Story. Far

 

[tuxfool]

If it is choking on the VRAM of a 970, how is it that they're targeting a 980?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Well I hope Bethesda has finally abandoned their Gamebryo engine and moved to something decent like oh I don't know how about the Unreal Engine 4 being shown off in this demo lol

Performance on my 970 smoothed out a lot once I used that shortcut to force 1080p fullscreen, getting 20-30 fps in the cinematic with a lot less chunking.

 

[KKRT00]

Hands down the best depth of field and motionblur I have ever seen in real time rendering on my computer.


Everything should do all the temporal stoichiastic shit they do to make it look the way it does. It is brilliant.

For example, with any other type of Depth of Field, that third screenshot would look rather terrible.

Must be looking much better in motion, because i personally find motion blur artifacts on screens to be annoying.

My only one issue is the actual geometry. They can put a million polygons into displaying trees, but the boy's hair and backpack are very low poly. With Toy Story, everything had a rounded look to it.

Luckily, there are other games that do have better characters.

 

[Durante]

I agree with Dictator, the postprocessing is really rather impressive. I don't even like DoF or motion blur much but i can appreciate the quality.

It might be giving my PC some grief but it is still a magnificent experience. If only there was a game using this landscape.

Nice shots.

 

[RCSI]

If it is choking on the VRAM of a 970, how is it that they're targeting a 980?

Because of the 970's slower pool of vram.

I ran out of vram allocation trying to run the Kite Demo Cinematic.

 

[myca77]

I just installed Win 8.1 on my new (re-rurbed) cheese grater Mac Pro. I'll have to give this a go and see how it runs with dual 6 core 3.46 Xeons, 64GB Ram and a Titan X....





OK, that may have been a bit of bragging, but the machine is mainly for work, but I added the Titan X so it would be a monster gaming rig too.

 

[KOHIPEET]

Runs fine on my 980m while flying/walking around.

 

[E-Cat]

I have never heard of the term 'stoichiastic' before. Could somebody please explain it to me?

Pertaining to a process involving a randomly-determined sequence of observations.

 

[RazorbackDB]

Damm impressive, even if it runs at 20 fps and 3 second stutters from time to time, I'm surprised it runs on my pc at all, it's amazing what they achieved, I wonder if they will continue updating it along with UE 4 versions, maybe we can build a DX12 version later.

Also can we please have UE 4 Temporal AA on all games?

 

[AmyS]

Lets see some videos guys, other than the original video of the demo from a few months ago.

Looks like I'm gonna need 3D glasses for this one...

Is there a way to make this fullscreen?

 

[Haunted]

Seems very impressive.

 

[Dictator93]

It is definitely not as easy to represent in still. But the fact that it does not have stepping, resolution issues, outlines, or even extremely apparent banding in stills is just awesome.
For example: Here in Crysis 3, you can see the individual slices and outlines (not super obvious in motion though):

or in Ryse, you can see it is running at a different resolution on top of the fact that it has outlines (not obvious in motion):

But in this newer, noisier, MB, it does not really have any of those things. Which is impressive for capturing it in stills.

Motion blur and Bokeh are things that I like a little too much to be honest. lol

 

[NeoROCK]

okay thats cool and all but where are the games?

 

[General Lee]

My 970 did not appreciate running this at 4K:

For fullscreen just press alt+enter, no need for shortcuts unless you want to change res.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Yup, destroying my PC when trying to run it in the editor.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Out of curiosity I tried to run this on my laptop with a Geforce GT 650M and 2GB of DDR3 VRAM. There was literally no hope, I think I heard the GPU crying.

Yeah, i know that CryEngine one has artifacts too, but only in place of the movement. Here there are some strange artifacts outside of the blurred object.
Maybe its due to framerate. They are definitely doing some reprojection, so maybe in 60fps it is eliminated greatly.

 

[Dictator93]

How is this for you?

You can only convey emotions behind a chroma filter. Oui?

I think that is the TAA and not the motionblur (the ghosting).

Anyone know a command to turn off the TAA?

Looool, really????? Why do you have such lwo standards or you don't understand anything in tech. Toy Story didin't have 1/4 of what this demo presents: it didn' even have ambient occlusion or PBR and the lighting was static in offline renderer, his has dynami GI and over 2 millions trees etc. This surpassess even Monster House released in 2006 and the devs compared that to it yesterday.

 

[Brerlappin]

On a 970??
Cause I ran it at 4k on a 970 (11fps lol) but it still ran. @1080p its almost 30fps solid, with only 1 short drop to 25

I think The Order does DOF so good, it's easily up there with this one. The moblur looked mighty fine as well.

The density of the vegetation is through the roof though. Also I like the fact that whatever AO solution they are using is a subtle one.

It is called Distant Filed AO. It is miels better than SSAO and cna go beyond the limited distances of HBAO and HBAO+. It works very well in open world settings and with trees and foliage.

 

[jim2point0]

This is how you permanently removed the CA from the Unreal Tournament demo.

Add this command to the "Scalability.ini" file at "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\UnrealTournament\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor" like this:

[PostProcessQuality@3]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0

Set the file to read-only.

No idea if that is still possible in this demo though.

Um, Toy Story was also made 20 years ago lol. I wasn't even pretending to comment on the underlying tech, maybe you should calm down.

We've probably seen them already. Note that Epic never released the Infiltrator demo, or Samaritan.

This looks stunning. No words other than that really. Just stunning.

They won't, especially The Infiltrator one, it has assets and was built beyond just a simple demo, all the buildings you see in the backgrounds are just still pictures backgrounds, they are fully modelled and represent sth. I am almost sure The Infiltrator one uis based on the upcoming game Epic will unveil at E3. Only few hours left so we will see.

Ehh... Toy Story looks like shit today. Almost any game released in the last 3 years handsdown beats it.

I think the word is supposed to be stochastic. It means randomly-generated.

Every game with PBS.

Seriously, the lighting in Toy Story 1 is so flat and its low res. The only good thing about it graphically is the AA which is better than todays games.

Also, don't get me started on the characters. They are looking downright awful.

Nah. Like, on paper, yeah, you're right.

In practice, even say just using in-game real-time cutscenes, no. Maybe The Order. Maybe.

Everything is still ultra low precision, gamey, and janky.

 

[Nozem]

Toy Story 1 is pretty ugly guys.

 

[kinggroin]

Toy Story 1 is pretty ugly guys.

I disagree. I find it to be a very charming looking movie even to this day. Its biggest problem is the artstyle for humans.

Can't think of an actual game's (mayve the order) realtime cutscenes as clean and precise as most of that movie. Its rudimentary compared to most CGI in film today, but put together very well.


This Kite demo pretty much beats TS1 for sure, but there are still moments with jank, aliasing, artifacts....etc

precisely.

despite the final frames of the best real-time rendered games looking more "aesthetically pleasing", the precision is still just so low compared with farm rendered work [even from as long ago as the original Toy Story].

 

[viveks86]

Runs around 24 fps with Titan X SLI at 4K. Rare drops to 15. Touches 30 every now and then. Mostly hovers around 24

 

[heyf00L]

Really damn impressive, especially how the shadowing is good both at short and very long distance. Also the amount of small-scale detail given that it's an open world demo, but the lighting is really what got me.

I remember they recently added a shadowing solution for area lights and one of the things it does is use significantly less VRAM so they can render large, distant shadows no problem. However, the lighting solution only works for static objects. It's perfect for terrain and buildings, tho.
