GDC 06:
Even the best paint jobs look like crap after a clip of ammunition tears it apart.
by Chris Roper
March 22, 2006 - During Sony's keynote at GDC 2006, it showed off a number of new PlayStation 3 demos, including the destruction of a car. The scene took place in a desert and began with a close camera flyby of one side of the car that showed off its highly complex paint shaders. Nicely simulating many of the fine details in realistic paint, the car featured subtle, distorted reflections, small paint ripples, metallic specular highlights and more, all intermixed to form what is quite possibly the most realistic real-time car shader we've seen to date.
While the car started out looking great, this didn't last long. Shots were soon fired and a plethora of bullet holes began denting the sides of the automobile. Once the shots neared the two fenders, they became dislodged and fell to the ground. The trunk eventually popped open to display the engine itself, and once the shooting was over, the car's wheels popped off and the vehicle hit the ground with one last thud.
The cool part about the demo was that all of the destruction inflicted to it was dynamic, each bit of damage rendered and applied to the car procedurally. The demo is indeed a tiny portion of an in-production game, though details on exactly which game it is were left to guesses.
Our guess is that it's connected to the gas station demo from last year's E3. Time will tell if we're right.
i wish he would describe the car at least maybe its vintage im hoping 70s the first thing i thought of when i saw that gas station demo was
