Awesome, so are we getting this visual update next patch?

 

Pretty incredible what people can do now, wont be too much longer until we can see this sort of stuff rendered in real time in our favorite games.

Is this a rendering demo, or trailer for a movie, or will this be in game. Would like more info on the source of the video pls.

It was a show called "Crossbones", that was cancelled :( probably because it wasn't as popular as Black Sails. Shame too, Black Sails' visual effects are rather lacking :/

So much effort, talent and expense... to create something that looks so goddamn shitty. It's like taking a random civil engineer off the street, giving him a billion dollars and a team of masons, and telling him to go build a replica of Notre Dam. But then for some reason you forbid him from looking at any photographs of cathedrals or even having a single Catholic on his staff.

 

Just goes to show you how fortunate we are with our development team.

Black Sails, though, as the name suggests, actually features sails that don't look totally screwy. The animations are usually off, but they have a few good shots in that first season.

The key thing to remember is that is all pre-rendered and takes a absolute bucket load of power to render. Those kind of visuals won't be seen in a game for a long time unless we get quantum computing :P

Rendering like that takes an insane amount of time - hours in some cases.  Maybe 10,15 years in the future?  Perhaps sooner, but the state of the art for fast rendering games is very different than the state of the art for graphics for movies and television, where an artist may have weeks of computer time spent rendering effects.
