We first saw the “Glow Ball”, back in June at Computex, the demo shows off a rolling ball demonstrating an impressive display of dynamic lightning which is being rendered in real-time and scattered over a multiplicity of surfaces. Well, i’ts finally popped up in the Tegra Zone app and will apparently be available for download in December. It’s an demo that you’ll be glad to have on your tablet and now you can since its available for download from the Android Marketplace.
Features include:
- Designed specifically for devices using NVIDIA Tegra 3, quad-core mobile superchip
- Carnival level includes nine concurrent cloth simulations running in real-time
- Sea Floor level includes 300 simulated kelp plants, 1400 other moving plants, and 2 million triangles of scene geometry
- Interaction of scene objects using NVIDIA PhysX
- Dynamic scene lighting that can be changed by tapping on the ball
- Particle, reflection, and skinned animation effects
- Caustic lighting, fog, and schooling fish in Sea Floor level
- Custom vertex and pixel shaders make for shiny fish and a wavy sea
- Splitscreen mode allows you to turn visual effects on/off and compare the results
Glowball isn’t exactly a wonder of gameplay but its definitely going to become a “go-to” app for showing off the power of your shiny new Transformer Prime.
Here is a demo of Glowball running on the ASUS Transformer Prime:
