Glowball Shows Up In The Tegra Zone As The First Nvidia Tegra 3 App
Chris Chavez
You may remember the “Glowball” demo you were drooling over the first time Nvidia showed off the graphics capabilities of their upcoming Tegra 3 processors. Well, the game has popped up in the Tegra Zone app and apparently it will be available for download sometime in December — most likely along side the ASUS Transformer Prime.
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, while not exactly featuring in depth gameplay, will definitely be your “go-to” app for showing off the power of your shiny new Transformer Prime, whether it’s to convert iPad owners or win over friends and family.
