Photorealism• What is Photorealism? Photorealism in games is
exactly what the name tells us. Developers try to make certain games look as real as possible. For example photorealism is used in many games such as;
• Call of Duty• Battlefield• Far cry
• Photorealism gives players a sense of real life while playing the games. Especially in war games.
Photorealism in Games.
• One of the newest releases Call of duty: Ghosts uses photorealism. Call of Duty used photorealism to show scars, scratches, blood and dirt between fingernails. This is useful as it gives us the impression of how the scene at a war would be.
• Photorealism is also improving with the new graphic capabilities on the Next Gen Consoles.
Photorealism in Games.
• Farcry is another example of photorealism which shows players having scars, Hair on arms, Veins.
• A disadvantage of photorealism is that it takes up more disk space. Some games comes with 2 discs so that players can install the graphics and the game content itself separately. Such as GTA V on the XBOX360.
Cel Shading• What is Cel Shading? Cel Shading is a form of
visual art in video games, commonly represented in games such as Mario, Zelda, Dragon Ball Z. It is a render on 3D models to make them look hand drawn.
• On the picture there are 2 astronauts, the one on the left is a 3D rendered space suit that looks plastic and the one on the right looks like it had been drawn by hand using plugins which make the pictures look hand drawn.
