Zero problems running the demo.

Solid 85 FPS

I have a Alienware gaming laptop.

Core i7 octacore. 32gb ram. Nvidia 1070 GTX video card with 16gb vram

2tb ssd. Windows 10 with windows mixed reality and a Samsung Odyssey Plus HMD

4K video on laptop and 4K ultra-wide gaming monitor - 3 monitors set up including HMD.

Played on my ultrawide 4K at 4096x3840 90hz with zero stutter and looking GORGEOUS!

Passmark score of 13311.

I have other laptops with varying specs I can run it on them if you want me to.

Unsupported res?

Seems we have all been tinkering with the demo :

I've also got a sort of where's Waldo vibe going on in a newer version So Hey! "FIRST GAME IN GG MAX!" (with the new engine).

This is true, the alpha channel can control the Fresnel Reflectance, which is how reflective the surface is at grazing angles. These are very small values for most non-metallic surfaces, usually in the 0-0.1 range, so a fairly dark color value.

Wicked Engine gives more control over this value than some other graphics engines in this regard, where often times this value is hard-coded based on whether the surface is metallic or not (dialectric). So this is a very nice feature that can produce a wide range of surface effects.

@ DVader
Playing with channels Mr. DVader, LOL
Nice one.

wow the room is so mouldy its got purpule XD

You may not get the Changing Rooms reference
If Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen had paint and a musty Cellar, it's just the sort of look he might do! I was going for pretty much the opposite of dark and spooky
I've got a more up to date version in the works, just for fun.

Hi,
Thank you for this new alpha 2 version of Game Guru Max.

Here is a commented picture showing the performance of that very nice demo on my computer :

SOLO DESIGN when you said you got massage file not found..
I thought oh I'll try that.. so I renamed the cellardemomay folder to cellardemomay-1
so that GGMax could not find it...
and low and behold...when run I get..

The window is filled with black...
NOTE: This is an aplpha build only - not final software ... etc.. ( across top of screen )
the GameGuru Max graphic is swaying in the top left corner
with the 170-200 FPS in full screen
with 280-310 FPS when windowed.

Task Manager :
GPU 3D 75%
Dedicated GPU memory usage 0.6/2.0 GB

maybe a simpler demo will run... ?

but has the demo build an end??

btw 160 fps rock solid on my rig

32 gig of System Ram.

Running on 1 of 2 27" driven by the NVIDIA 1050ti.

Re texturing seems easy enough in Quixel Mixer. Brought the .obj file into mixer and redid the textures with the channels mapped properly.

Well, very cool graphics in the new engine. Was waiting for something like this. Can't wait to see final release.

Well, I only edited images, have not bothered loading objects up. But managed this

Can you find em all?

got GFX card today, all going well, the demo should work for me also. Will be able to play more demanding modern games for a change. can't wait to submerge myself again into the VR world once headset gets here.

My specs :

For some reason i don't think that is right lol

OK run it again, this time it was running at between 140fps and 160fps, that's a bit more realistic, seems like if you lose focus on the window the FPS goes through the roof.

160-190 fps fullHD
i7 7700k gtx 1070 16gb ram.

@Pirate Myke,
Thanks a lot for bringing to my attention Quixel Mixer! And then again Not. Whatever little spare time I had, went by the wayside. :-(
Cheers!

@Belidos. I've found it runs faster in minimised mode. You can also make it zippier by resizing the screen to a postage stamp size Theoretically we should see even faster speeds with full screen But I hope they leave the window mode functional, it's nice to have the oprion
Edit - not totally minimised Just a smaller window.

60 FPS with GG



60 FPS with GGMax



Textures on GG doesn't work, as expected.

Note: I did those videos just for sake of testing, I must admit also out of curiosity.

Looks cool
I admit I converted a few just to see, stairs, boiler but they just look like good GG assets, Nothing like in Wicked .

Yes, I agree. Nothing special about the models itself, just textures doing fine their work.
I guess those cso shaders has something to do with showcase video atmosphere.
It takes me a long time to covert all the stuff.

i think you could get more from a 1070..since my 1660 got about 160/170fps...1070 is supposed to be faster than 1660

ha how odd, after issues with new GFX card (GEFORCE GTX 1060) due to no power supply 8 pin connector with card, I reverted back to my Geforce GT710 card and ran the alpha2 demo without the driver installed (as I uninstalled it prior to installing new card). Demo now works but is slow, started at 62 fps and went right down to 2-4 fps, which I was expecting. so have issue with the driver and/or resolution.
got a bit of investigating to do. Screen display is obviously the lowest res currently.

[edit-doesn't run at all with driver installed. oh well never mind ha]

I'm getting 76 - 85 FPS on these specs:

Windows 10 64-bit
(AMD FX-8320 - Passmark 8122)
8GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 803MHz
Gigabyte GA-78LMT - Passmark 2482

Passmark 4611)
LCD MONITOR (1680x1050@60Hz)
1863GB Seagate

Probably checks your video card version. Not installing the Nvidia drivers may confuse it and so let it run. Just a way to stop less than min spec cards running I imagine. If they didn't they would still get people moan about speed while running below spec graphics cards

There may be a way round it if you really want to run Max on lower spec cards. Omega drivers may be one way possibly. If they are still about

@3com Was wondering if anyone would do a GG version I actually think many of the models in this demo are from GG already just with a lick of texture paint Things like boxes and crates, tables and shelves don't really need high polys but a good texture always makes a diff.

I've also notice a sky and simple floor outside the cellar is visible, or at least at the very start. So the demo is not optimised for just being in that room Maybe we will see outside later on!

I will probably use newer card anyway once I get a connector I'm waiting for but thanks for the feedback

I ran the Alpha 2 build on my Windows 10 machine a core i7 9th Gen, having a Geforce RTX 2060 and obtained 143 FPS.

DELL Alienware Aurora R8
Windows 10 64 bits
32 GB RAM
RTX 2080 Ti

4K- 3840x2160 : 190-210 FPS
1920x1080 : 430 / 450 FPS

Well the demo has certainly been an interesting thing to play about with I think Max should be pretty awesome when it's finished.

Looks Great !!
Im gonna guess you just switched a model to get him in there ?

@ DVader
Eh, nice pic there.
Models in the demo are done exclusively for the indoor scene, so they don't need to have 2 sides, and since their fpe files don't set anything to force GG to render 2 sides, then sometimes you can see the outdoors, just add cullmode = 1 to the respective fpe file. I myself convert and edit those models into 3ds max and I have to shell all the walls faces to get 2 sides, re-assing all the new texture paths to the X Files, and rendering all them, before exporting as X files.
Or you have to check if normals are inverted.

@syncromesh. Nope I can add as many as I want I could post a demo but as it's a mod of the GG Max one I will abide by TGC's request of no demo sharing.

~3com You optimised your demo then

I can see that now
I thought you might have just replaced a box with the hulk and named it the same or something in the model folder

Sure having some fun remixing the demo!

I think my Rick and Morty find the characters one works better when running rather than the vid. I did my best to get it high res! That one was done entirely in Gimp

Gimp 2.10 is really nice, anyway, I don't get Gmic working with. It looks like some bug in Gimp or Gmic, doesn't look like compatible ones.

I used Gimp to edit the textures in that one. The New Hulk V Thing demo includes actual geometry additions, rather than simple texture edits.

I spent hours editing the textures for the Rick and Morty Edit. This one was pretty fast and took about an hour or so (most of that tweaking stuff to a silly extent)

Max has the potential to be pretty awesome.

Edit - Oh and I notice no-one saw the added water on the floor lol. Perhaps I should have made it more noticeable? Give me a min

Your having way too much fun Mr DVader

Nice addiction the water, it gives most atmospheres to the scene, anyway it is not a major issue for Mr hulk.

If you pull the scene into the wicked editor you can do anything with it
Afterwards, save and move over (together with any new model and their textures) into the folder in max

@Avenging Eagle : Yes, your old PBR texture sets will be automatically be loaded 'into' the surface format the new graphics engine uses, so no need to convert anything if you don't want to. For new assets you only intend for use in MAX, then creating _surface textures makes sense as its a cleaner file set for your entities, and of course will load faster

@SOLO DESIGN : Your system looks fine. We will need to add some logging for the next alpha build so we can track issues like this, well ahead of the first beta build. Thanks for the feedback and specs!

@OldFlak : You will be able to dial down many settings to get the FPS you need, the alpha build 2 has MSAA set to 8 which is pretty high, and I have not activated any performance tricks in this demo either. Good to know it runs for you!

@osiem80 : No plans to add any new features to the release, we want to focus on the new terrain and graphics engine as the priorities. Once both of those items are solid and the community are happy, we can think about other things.

Great to see all the mods, awesome creativity from you all as usual! Hopefully I can also contribute next week with another Sneak Peek, perhaps featuring a new addition to the cellar scene This week I am back in the basement getting the boring back-end stuff progressed, so hopefully you can tune in on Wednesday for my live broadcast (4PM BST) and I can cover what I have been up to.

@Lee : can I suggest that your testing levels include animated entities, active physics entities, entities being moved and rotated via direct script control (and not just Y rotation) plus some see through and reflective ones.

If you do that you should hopefully catch any weird visual anomalies early in the process.

Also when you think you have Bullet engine integrated throw the Fork Lift truck Demo at it, that will test that the physics is all working at least as well as it did prior to the 64 bit changes.

Just 4 fun
