Cool Celebrity Entertainment !: Aditya is a fabulous co-star

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 14:00:18 +0000

Shweta Agarwal, who was seen in the TV series Dekho Magar Pyar Se, is making her Hindi film debut in the next Vikram Bhatt movie Shaapit. in an interview to Metrolife, she opens up about life, her new movie and working with Vikram Bhatt. a science student, Shweta got into TV by luck. “I got noticed during my college festival and subsequently, was called by an ad agency. I went along because I got pocket money for shopping.” soon she was playing Niki in the television serial. “I had actually gone to audition for something else but was told to audition for Niki instead. I was lucky to have landed that role.”

But it was a soap commercial alongside Aishwarya Rai, which brought her to the notice of Oliver Paulus for his Swiss-German production, Tandoori Love and the Turkish film, Miras. “I took the projects because I wanted to do a foreign language film. And the experience was a little different because everything was very organised. soon as I landed, I got my one month itinerary and shooting schedule.”

About her first Hindi movie, she says, “I feel the director is the anchor of a movie. so it all depends on how he wants it to shape up. As an artiste, I have a relationship only with the camera.”

Talking about Vikram Bhatt, she mentions that though initially, she was a little scared of him, he turned out to be quite chilled out. “Vikram looks very serious but gives you the freedom to do what you want. but he tells you if you are going wrong.”

Aditya Narayan, who has acted as a child artiste in many movies, also makes his debut with this movie. “Aditya is a fabulous co-star. he kept entertaining us with his singing.” Shaapit is a love story laced with thriller and horror elements, where Shweta plays a girl named Kaya, who has a generational curse, that comes alive after marriage. “In the movie, Kaya and Aditya’s character Aman, go on a journey to fight off the bad spirit that was troubling them.”

The movie releases on March 19 and when asked about the pre-release jitters, she says, “I am quite confident that we have come up with a good product. And my work is to take the 95 steps. The rest five depends on the audience.” so what are her plans for the future? “I have been associated with the movie since 2008 and I have had no time to do anything else. but I will start reading scripts after I finish promoting the movie,” she signs off.

Google providing in-stock information about nearby products

Google is launching a product search feature for certain smart phones that allow you to see whether an item is in stock nearby.

If you have an iPhone, Palm WebOS phone or any Android smart phone, just go to Google.com and do a search for an item. Select the “more” link and then select “shopping.”

Within the shopping search results, you’ll see a blue dot next to the item if it’s in stock at a participating retailer nearby. Participating stores include Best Buy, Sears, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, or West Elm.

You can then follow an “In stock nearby” link to the seller’s page, where you can see if it’s in stock or has limited availability. I tried this for Wii Fit Plus and got a listing of mostly Best buys throughout the Bay Area where the game is in stock. unfortunately, the nearest store to me in San Francisco was the sixth entry. but it works if you’re willing to scroll through the list a little.

You’ll need to enable the location feature on Google and you have to be in the U.S. for this to work. but it’s a nice little addition that can help you track down items without having to wonder if they have it. Google will need to get more retailers on the program and it looks like they’re trying to get more of them on board.

Stewart laughs off Oscars speech

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 04:00:16 +0000

Stewart presented a montage of horror films with Twilight co-star Taylor Lautner and admits she found speaking in front of Hollywood’s elite “daunting”.

The nervous actress drew criticism for coughing and clearing her throat in the middle of her speech. But she insists her stumble could have been much worse.

she explains, “I wouldn’t have been able to finish the sentence had I not gone (and cleared my throat). then I would’ve gotten more criticism for not being able to speak at the Oscars – which is worse than clearing your throat at the Oscars. It’s all good. There are a few things that replay in my head like, oh that happened, why? Why?

“A lot of it I find funny. The coughing I did find funny. this is going to baffle some people, but I was so proud of myself that night. I didn’t fall down or anything!”

: Metro 2033: 4A Engine impresses

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:00:14 +0000

In a market dominated by Unreal Engine 3, any kind of new cutting-edge technology is instantly of interest to Digital Foundry. the 4A spec sheet we received from THQ contains all kinds of wonderful – as you might expect from the people also responsible for the technological underpinnings of the S.T.a.L.K.E.R. X-Ray engine.

You’ll find the complete spec at the foot of this blog entry and it makes for overwhelming reading. Indeed, you might be forgiven for thinking it’s more of a wish-list than a complete, fully-featured engine, but the preview Xbox 360 code sitting inside the DF test kit suggests otherwise. here are a few teaser shots taken from our captures:

Revealing shots from Metro 2033 showing the 4A Engine in action. Note that these grabs are all taken from gameplay. no cinematics, not even engine-driven cut-scenes.

Tomorrow, Digital Foundry will be taking a look at the brand new engine technology and talking in-depth with the firm’s chief technical officer, Oles Shishkovtsov. find out about the genesis of the engine, the performance potential of the tech on Xbox 360, the plans 4A has for DirectX 11 on PC, and hear what Shishkovtsov has to say in his assessment of Guerrilla Games’ Killzone 2 engine.

In the meantime, to whet your appetite, here’s the spec that inspired the story…

4A-Engine is a complete game development framework designed for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION3 and DirectX9/DirectX10 – equipped PCs, providing the vast array of core technologies, content creation tools, and support infrastructure.

[Editor's note: 4A recently announced support for the new APIs in DirectX 11 too, which will be supported in Metro 2033. also be aware that while the 4A engine supports PS3, Metro 2033 will launch just on 360 and PC.]

Rendering
Using innovative visualisation technology, based on human visual system (HVS) perception and response.

The gamma-correct, linear colour space renderer
High dynamic range rendering (HDR) using floating-point buffers, allowing for tone mapping, exposure adaption, and blue shift, for camera/eye perceptual rendering
Advanced deferred shading – allows hundreds of lights in frame, in huge, complex scenes
All lighting is fully dynamic (including sun and skies), ability to use light-shaders, with dozens of special effects
Umbra and penumbra – Correct soft shadows, including shadows correctly curved on bumped surface. Shadows from semi-transparent objects like particles.
Weather and day/night model, including light scattering model and god-rays
Volumetric fogging and lighting, even in animated, non-constant density media
Global illumination effects and real-time reflective lights
Parallax occlusion maps and real (geometric) displacement mapping
Hierarchical per-pixel occlusion culling
Real-time colour correction, film grain and noise, correct depth of field
Velocity preserving motion-blur on a scene with millions of polygons and complex shading detail (including object blur)
Deferred reflections – allows a lot of planar real time reflections in a single frame, like water, glass, etc.
Ambient occlusion calculated on both the global scale (pre-calculated) and in real-time in screen space (SSAO)
In addition to standard MSAA, the engine features analytical anti-aliasing (AAA) and “deferred super-sampling” modes which have much lower impact on frame-rate, while correctly ant-ialiasing all surfaces and not just edges
Renderer is highly multi-threaded for multiple CPU cores.
Plus: per-pixel lighting, bumpy reflections and refractions, animated and detail textures, shiny surfaces, cosmetic damage using albedo and bump blending, soft particles, etc.

Physics system
Powered by nVidia PhysX technology, can utilise multiple CPU cores, AGEIA PhysX hardware, or nVidia GPU hardware.

Tightly integrated into the content pipeline and the game itself, including physical materials on all surfaces, physically driven sound, physically driven animations
Rigid body and multi-jointed constructions. Breakable fences, walls , sheds and other objects. Thousands of different physical entities simulated per frame.
Cloth simulation, water physics (including cross-interactions)
Destruction and fracturing, physically based puzzles
Soft body physics on selected special game entities
On hardware-accelerated PhysX platforms engine implements full physically correct behaviour of particles such as smoke, debris, etc.

Audio
Multi-threaded high dynamic range Audio system with constant memory usage and data-driven design

3D sound positioning, spatialisation and attenuation
Sound path tracing and transfer approximation for correct occlusion and obstruction perceiving.
Reverb, low-pass/high-pass filtering, pitch shifting – all auto-calculated based on sound-path and adjustable by multi-layer environment zones, scripting or programmatically
Dynamically reconstructing audio graphs
OGG-vorbis compressed with adjustable quality, multi-threaded decompression

AI and Gameplay

Deep story-driven experience, dynamic and remarkable missions
Different gameplay styles stealth/brutal, different combat settings
Group behaviour (including support for information sharing and creating dynamic groups of agents that act together)
Designer-friendly visual scripting system, enables designers to script levels and control advanced AI behaviours using the Flow-Graph visual scripting system, placing most AI gameplay control in their hands.
Efficient pathfinding for dynamic environment
Advanced 3D topology dynamic analysis
Virtual vision, hearing, “smelling” – realistic, believable and time and memory efficient implementation enables characters to sense objects in a natural way, depending on the object velocity, luminocity, etc.
Multi-threaded Animation system controlled via visual scripting and flow graph

Streaming Technology

[Editor's note: CPU cores/threads mentioned usually means both normal CPUs and Synergetic Processing Units (SPU).]
