30:00 Accidentally draws a pokéball

The things I would do to obtain a fraction of this guy's intelligence

Pretty sure this is another one of my Dad's maps. Thanks for uploading this. I love him very much, and even if it's a small thing it sort of feels like a bit of his legacy still uploaded on KZbin, He loved quake. Wore quake shirts all the time. RIP miss you Dad.

One of the things that really struck out is that he is talking of facets on curved surfaces. The reality is all curved surfaces have facets. Down at the atomic level quantum mechanics dictates there be facets. They're just so very tiny and subtly overlap that the facets blend into the curvature. But with enough precision, we absolutely can detect the facets inherent in everything. That's how x-ray crystallography works and x-ray diffraction images work when imaging intermolecular facets.

I'm just trying to figure out why I can't debug the constructor in my angular code. :|

Was looking for this movie for a long time! Thanks! Love it! Good old days! ❤

Ever thought about creating your own game engine? then pay attention. This is important knowing how light works.

Is this guy a programmer or a physicist? 😅

What if we came up with a cheap way to express roundness like circle's circumference, without approximation to flat surfaces/straight lines? Some brilliant idea that just allows you to draw the round shape itself without figuring it out from another way.

I had this video saved in a playlist for a long time, can't believe I waited so long to watch it! I would like to start making video games, but I'm also very interested in computer science in general, physics, and math and this electric combined all of them in a way that was absolutely fascinating and incredibly informative to me! John Carmack is UNREAL 🤭

I was at this front row. This guy is a genius. And before it started. They let draw on the board "el guapo was here!" He was a good sport. Didnt ask for a picture but good guy and a genius

30:00 A pokeball!

I got big tables of Data Sir

Optical? Mirror ?

Thermal imaging ? Broad spectrum? Aerospace? Wow

Quick question Id software after, does it still continue?

Me at first date: 36:16 Double Speed

This needs to be shown in high school classes! Such a great presentation, informative and succinct... He covered weeks of instruction in this lecture 😮

I could watch John talking about anything for hours...

Cool 😎😎👍

He's so dreamy

51:53 ... Dude just drew dignity

29:29 - Ladies and gentlemen; John Carmack draws... a tit.

Classic

But can you watch grass grow while you play Tetris???

I always say, the early game developers were mathematicians and computer scientists first.

My guy talking about ray tracing and physicality based rendering 10 years ago. Truly a professional in love with what he does

This dude showed up to a video game convention and gave a science lecture for an hour, and everyone sat there and listened. That is the power of John Carmack.

I want Alton brown and John carmack to do just a show about super geeky aspects of basic parts of life

John's got the coolest aura about him. Radiates genius-level intellect, combined with a refreshing mixture of passion & humility.

I didn't realize a game convention like this would have a computer science talk but considering its John Carmack it makes sense

Still a great talk

1:05

Probably the one single person which I sincerely see as WAY, WAY SMARTER than me, like hopelessly, beyond reach smarter dude. Just on another level intellectually.

1:00:00

he dont have degree but degree guys is more comfi to bulshit than non so i guess i will take what he say

More than two ways to skin a cat methinks. Thanx Spirit...

I’m sorry, *48 fps?*

It's been ten years now, and I feel that the promises of PBR have failed to materialize. Artists still have to be some combination of render engine designer and highly experienced black magician, according to whichever they prefer. We have consistently made compromises to physicality as we realized that our artists were better at making art than our slow computers were, but artists are still stymied in making "imaginative" materials-- imaginative here referring to solidly real materials like mother-of-pearl, as opposed to yet another instance of metal, which, yes, we're doing pretty good at. We've accomplished the bare minimum of energy conservation, but we're still using 8 bit per channel displays with tone mapping as an utterly inadequate workaround, and so energy conservation is more often a problem than a benefit. What have we gotten out of PBR? We can look up IOR in a reference when IOR is one of the visually least important variables. It's not a dissimilar problem to the problem of procedural generation as touched on in this talk: it turns out that reality is so complex as to be, for the forseeable future, incapable of being simulated; it turns out that what artists are good at is isolating the things about reality that we humans see as being most meaningful, creating evocative lines where none in reality exist, good at creating a simpler (and hence computable) version of reality that still captures what we find important about it.

this is what an actual smart person sounds like, no true answer is simple, it has infinite layers

when fov is wrong ,added mapfog ,blur,glare ,texture high ress has wrong texture size - old game did it right with small resourses and new games do bad thing because of whatever reason using mono sounds etc since bandwith matter more online and fast mronic online matches that rush are everything that matter becuase they sold the game to shareholders on big buck and short games are Big buck etc .. I cant play new games and investors destroyed it all

Quakecon audience: "show us some cool new gameplay!" Carmack: "the physics of light is..."

47:12

Snore.

A 3 years worth of university classes on the physics of light in a youtube video from a video game programmer. This brain is the literal 9000IQ being of our time

I came here to hear John Carmac talk about Computer Graphics, I left wishing he was my physics teacher back in school.

Most know this guy as a game developer, but he's spitting science better than any professor I've ever had (and infinitely better than Nye or Tyson).

There's a popping sound every 10 seconds that is driving me crazy.

THIS FUCKING GUY IS SMART AS SHIT.
