The video on Mote is up! Finally someone's using the GPU for what it should be used for: zillions of squirming simulated life forms in miraculously self-regulating ecosystems. Exploding membranes. Herds of tiny herbivores and encroaching fungi. Smells.
🦠Watch @computerender's first public talk on Mote: an interactive ecosystem simulation! Mote uses a custom GPU-based physics engine to model hundreds of thousands of organisms, leading to fascinating emergent phenomena: a sandbox that is part game, part research. Link below⬇️
