Thanks to APEX, finalization by nVidia, the company CCP (processor, for example, the game EVE Online ) created a demonstration on some clothes avatars. And 'There are several female avatars and clothing for their move with a natural impressive, touching and climbing stairs, moving and falling attracted by gravity. A video to gaze at and perhaps to contemplate:
power, realism and perfection: the degree to which came the modern game engines is incredible. This I want, I want this! Enjoy the presentation of the new Crytek's CryEngine 3 :

, from his blog, has launched a challenge to reflect on this theme entitled: "Are virtual worlds over?", "Virtual worlds are finished, have been exceeded?" I must admit that reading the article I was filled with a deep sadness. Above all, I was struck by the great disenchantment and the ability of the author in pointing out the true wishes of the users on how they think it should be a Virtual World. The feeling is that you have read and understood for the first time the extreme difference between my dreams and reality users' wishes users of virtual worlds. It 's a really bitter and disillusioned away from the "magnificent and progressive" that the technology of the past, we proposed, far from the descriptions of the Metaverse as a place non-place of the supreme simulation and interaction. But above all, what strikes me most is the full awareness of the author in saying that you want to change these perceptions and it would take such and so many resources to make the connection almost impossible. Who wants to essentially create a virtual world of success must follow precise and simple rules, do not get lost behind the desire to create a world recreated in the computer with which you can interact with photo-realistic graphics, immersion, sharing, artificial intelligence, etc etc. It is true then what has already been prophesied by Edward Castronova

The application of this post may seem trivial, nice graphics can always look for an advantage an MMO, but in reality it is not always the case. Often what attracts players and users in general is not so much a photo-realistic 3D graphics and engaging, as a gaming system or well done or an environment involving the ability to create and share content. For example, if you are in SL made many improvements to graphs such as the use of technology WindLight and other developments in the graphics engine has been reached, however, an inherent limit that is not surmountable. So if this feature is seen by some as a limitation for others it is not absolutely essential. Conversely those who may come from a MMORPG Age of Conan as
based on proprietary technology
DreamWorld Engine , remains deeply disappointed by graphics maybe very stylized, with fewer side effects and texture of low-level. The blog
The conclusion we draw from these discussions is that the use the latest technology in 3D graphics, be they hardware or software, are certainly something to be desired and admired, but can not be considered an essential element for the success of an MMO. Certainly help to capture the imagination and the desire of users who are catapulted into an imaginary world, but a game is not just graphics, very affecting social interaction, listening to the desires of the users play, the dynamics of the same .
