First-person shooter engine

A first-person shooter engine is a video game engine specialized for simulating 3D environments for use in a first-person shooter video game. First-person refers to the view where the players see the world from the eyes of their characters. Shooter refers to games which revolve primarily around wielding firearms and killing other entities in the game world, either non-player characters or other players. The development of the FPS graphic engines is characterized by a steady increase in technologies, with some breakthroughs. Attempts at defining distinct generations lead to arbitrary choices of what constitutes a highly modified version of an 'old engine' and what is a new engine. The classification is complicated as game engines blend old and new technologies. Features considered advanced in a new game one year, become the expected standard the next year. Games with a combination of both older and newer features are the norm. For example, Jurassic Park: Trespasser (1998) introduced physics to the FPS genre, which did not become common until around 2002. Red Faction (2001) featured a destructible environment, something still not common in engines years later. List of first-person shooter engines#Early FPS graphics engines Game rendering for this early generation of FPS were already from the first-person perspective and with the need to shoot things, however they were mostly made up using vector graphics. There are two possible claimants for the first FPS, Maze War and Spasim. Maze War was developed in 1973 and involved a single player making his way through a maze of corridors rendered using a fixed perspective. Multiplayer capabilities, where players attempted to shoot each other, were added later and were networked in 1974. Spasim was originally developed in 1974 and involved players moving through a wire-frame 3D universe. Spasim could be played by up to 32 players on the PLATO network. Developed in-house by Incentive Software, the Freescape engine is considered to be one of the first proprietary 3D engines to be used for computer games, although the engine was not used commercially outside of Incentive's own titles.

Quake engine

The Quake engine is the game engine developed by id Software to power their 1996 video game Quake. It featured true 3D real-time rendering and is now licensed under the terms of GNU General Public License v2.0 or later. After release, the Quake engine immediately forked. Much of the engine remained in Quake II and Quake III Arena. The Quake engine, like the Doom engine, used binary space partitioning (BSP) to optimise the world rendering. The Quake engine also used Gouraud shading for moving objects, and a static lightmap for non-moving objects.

Id Tech 4

L'id Tech 4, plus connu sous le nom de Doom 3 engine est un moteur de jeu vidéo développé par id Software et utilisé pour la première fois dans le jeu Doom 3. Conçu principalement par John Carmack, celui-ci a aussi créé d'autres moteurs par le passé comme le Doom engine et le Quake engine, qui ont été généralement reconnus comme de grandes avancées technologiques dans le domaine. L'id Tech 4 a d'abord été conçu comme une amélioration du Quake engine.

Id Tech 3

L'id Tech 3, plus connu sous le nom de Quake III engine, est un moteur de rendu graphique 3D (moteur de jeu), développé par id Software. Il est utilisé par de nombreux jeux. Dans son heure de gloire, il était en concurrence avec le UnrealEngine pour les projets de jeu de tir subjectif. Ils étaient à l'époque tous deux sous licence commerciale. Le moteur est une évolution directe des versions précédentes incluses dans Quake et Quake II. À la QuakeCon 2005, John Carmack a annoncé que le code source du moteur Quake III serait libéré sous GPL.

SROBB: Targeted Perceptual Loss for Single Image Super-Resolution

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Hazim Kemal Ekenel, Mohammad Saeed Rad

By benefiting from perceptual losses, recent studies have improved significantly the performance of the super-resolution task, where a high-resolution image is resolved from its low-resolution counterpart. Although such objective functions generate near-ph ...

Reconstruction and visualization of large-scale volumetric models of neocortical circuits for physically-plausible in silico optical studies

Henry Markram, Felix Schürmann, Marwan Muhammad Ahmed Abdellah, Juan Bautista Hernando Vieites, Stefan Eilemann, Nicolas Antille

Background: We present a software workflow capable of building large scale, highly detailed and realistic volumetric models of neocortical circuits from the morphological skeletons of their digitally reconstructed neurons. The limitations of the existing a ...
