F1 2016 Render

Recommended Posts

It seems that this year too, Codemasters is using that old system where the car is better rendered as it approaches the camera, I realized that in the last video, when the car comes. To view more easy, you may need to use 1080p resolution, and low speed:

You can see the reflection in the top of the car emerging from one frame to another, and the front wing remodeling, is like an intelligent system that saves performance, but uses more quality when necessary, as if you had a picture with low resolution when it was view it a small screen and when you need to see on a larger screen, needed more resolution and this was automatically loaded in higher resolution. Similar to what happens with YouTube videos.

I do not really like this idea, because it is very noticeable.
It would take place at a distance even longer.

Surely most games do this... it was called LODding (Level of Detail) back in the 90s when I was working on VR systems, so it's a pretty old and widespread technique.

It's something that's still in every game today. Some games have larger distances for the transitions between the different LOD models in order to make it less noticeable. Although it's a good (and for a lot of systems a necessary) technique to optimize, it sucks that pretty much no dev seems to provide features to change the distance for LOD transitions. A monster PC, with some resources left over while running ultra graphics, might be able to push LOD transitions back, eliminating LOD pop-in.

Yeah, the distance could increase according the computer had more performance.
