Manifold Garden - Edge Detection & Anti-Aliasing Comparison 2015 vs 2019

[@robrick9361]

Can't wait for the 2019-2023 comparison.

[@WilliamChyr]

Ouch :) It'll be out... soon!

@@birchwwolf oh lord if I played the vr version I'll definitely will try walking on walls after playing this 2 hours straight ;-;

@@WilliamChyr can't wait, it's time. Tech breakdown would be amazing too

[@cogno-marco3724]

Look at all those horrible artifacts disappear! This must have been an INSANE amount of work. Amazing Job, really.

[@WilliamChyr]

I remember back in 2015 I thought that'd be impossible to solve. Arthur (our graphics programmer) has done an incredible job. We're hoping to do a tech breakdown of the edge detection at some point.

@@WilliamChyrI'd love to see a tech breakdown of the edge detection! It looks amazing!

[@WilliamChyr]

@@simonl1938 Arthur Brussee, the graphics programmer on Manifold Garden, actually did a presentation for Siggraph. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4fSq3ubp9GCh9k

I'm still quite excited to play this. Best of luck getting to the finish line!

[@kasra8255]

Absolutely beautiful. Cannot wait to get myself lost in this game. Keep on doing your best work, William and team!

[@kasra8255]

Never-fucking-mind, I guess. It's an EGS exclusive now.

[@BennLivid]

Looks goood! Keep up the great work and remember not to stress out too much. We'll be waiting patiently until you're ready. :)

[@DEEWHTFLD]

looks flawless!! still holding on in anticipation for the full release!!

[@eirikjormungandrson]

and this is why you should ALWAYS take your time on a project, even if it takes years.

[@benjoe1993]

Woah, smooth as heck!

[@MaykoJester]

It looks so pretty! Can't wait! Let me know when pre-orders are up!

[@CamUsername123]

That's a huge feat, I dunno if it's something you always planned to fix and knew how, or worked through the problem and solved it because you just wanted to improve it. Either way it must feel fantastic to reach this milestone. Keep it up!

[@blakeb708]

This looks fantastic. Wowowow

[@ghostsdefeated4078]

damn that's beautiful

[@peripheralarbor]

Very solid presentation! Looking forward to playing the finished game. Perhaps we can work together on the next version, with circular geometry a-la Tetrahedral Planetoid: peripheralarbor.com/gallery/v/CG+Art/TetPln/ and procedurally generated architecture and puzzles!

[@Kavukamari]

was there a speech about the effect somewhere? acerola said there was, but I don't know how to find it

[@YuhNinja]

I love how you got rid of the artifacts, but it appears so much more colorful before. Hopefully up close its still colorful?

[@RandumStuffRandumnes]

I think the problem was before there wasn't much contrast between the geometry and background. I like having a larger distinction between them.

[@WilliamChyr]

It just happened that a lot of the lighting was on the left side of the screen. We have a lot of new levels and geometry, but I wanted to keep the format shown here. There's definitely more colorful areas. I'll make sure to show them in future videos.

[@videobot100]

How did you solve the edge flickering? Is it still an edge detection shader? Or is it simply a mesh now?

[@WilliamChyr]

It's still a post processing shader, but much more complicated: distance field, etc. Arthur (the graphics programmer who joined in 2017) discussed it here: twitter.com/WilliamChyr/status/1166808409657741313 We'll do a tech breakdown one day.

[@sandys-channel]

looks cool. ship it.

[@WilliamChyr]

We're trying, Mike! :)

[@consta32192]

when is it being released :(

[@WilliamChyr]

Soon. For real.

[@randomnaamofzo1246]

@Acerola_t mentioned this. Very cool!
