yeah, I agree with that.

Improvements like a better lighting system or direct x 11 implementation would be great - but again,
there's the word 'would' and I don't think I can expect features like this in the next time.

this is rendered with a technique from the papers above


Also i'm using them to get some new inspiration of what is needed in my own shader framework

SuperCan just uses techniques that you can find anywhere on paper. They also needed to create them, this has nothing to do with Acknex...

You opened my eyes, I'll immediately stop posting links.

No your papers are very interesting, specially for programmers and shader programmers

Ok , instead of paper here is a video on killZone 3 on PS3, it shows the graphic tehniques, the optimisation keys (LOD, culling etc ... ) they use :

killzone 3 (Siggraph 2011)

Ratchet, 3DGS is that engine. And it can do a LOT more than 3 or 4 of those.

Yes, but you have to create it yourself which makes it not very stable and efficient.
and I don't think it is possible to get a lighting system anything similar to UE4 with the Acknex engine (at it's current state)...

You have to create it yourself in other engines too - unless you buy middleware - surprise.

thanks a lot christian and hummel for these articles. I'm constantly searching for that kind of knowledge.

Of course, but as I already said some stuff like DX11 support or a better lighting system would be great.
