7 Programmable 3D Rendering Pipeline ( 可 程 式 3D 成 像 流 程 ) Real-time 3D Shader Programming (Shader 程 式 設 計 ) NVIDIA CUDA

8 In the Near Future, ( 未 來 ) Current Programmable Rendering Pipeline (DirectX 10) Vertex Shader Geometry Shader Rasterization Fragment Shader Pixel Processing Non-programmable! GPU (CUDA, CAL, OpenCL) Real-time Ray Tracing + Global Illumination!!!

9 High quality rendering in real-time is available : Per-pixel lighting Advanced materials Normal map (and more) Shadows Image-based lighting Global illumination (limited) Interactive Ray Tracing Pre-computed radiance transfer (PRT) Post-production effects HDR Motion blur Depth-of-field

10 High Quality Rendering in Real-time is Available :

11 High Dynamic Range Imaging g (HDRI) Copyright Valve software Used for educational purposes only.

12 More computing power supported by hardware General-purpose GPU (GPGPU) NVIDIA CUDA, OpenCL, AMD CAL Game Physics powered by hardware Intel + Havok NVIDIA PhysX Game AI solutions for animation Procedural animation Additive animation Motion blending ( 動 作 混 接 ) Group Steering Behaviors ( 群 體 運 動 )

13 遊 戲 產 業 推 動 這 項 發 展!!!

14 Can We Apply This To The Animation?. Can We Save The Production Time But Keep The Quality When Using This?. And How?
