Players will control an ant as it navigates a French forest, engaging in battles and forming alliances with other bugs. The game boasts impressive photorealism, thanks to Unreal Engine's Nanite technology. Empire of the Ants is a new take on a 2000 PC game and is set to release on PC and consoles in 2024.

"Unveiling the Tech Tricks Behind Realistic Computer Games"

Advances in graphics technology are making computer games look increasingly realistic, with some titles approaching photorealism. Techniques such as shaky cameras, dull lighting, and urban bustle help create a lifelike atmosphere, while highly-detailed 3D modelling of objects and neural radiance fields (NeRFs) are also contributing to the trend. Ray-tracing, which simulates the way light bounces off surfaces, is another key technology, with AI helping to produce these effects in games. However, rendering certain materials convincingly remains a challenge, and photorealism is not necessarily a prerequisite for success in the gaming industry.

"Stability AI and OpenAI Release Powerful New Generative AI Tools"

Stability AI has announced a new version of its open source software called Stable Diffusion XL, which uses 2.3 billion parameters, far more than the company’s Stable Diffusion V2.1’s 900 million. The new model is an improvement on Stable Diffusion 2.1 and excels at photorealism with faces and image composition. The company is promoting it can handle notoriously difficult parts of images like natural text and hands. SDXL is only in beta, and its limited availability makes it hard to compare it to other newer versions of generative AI like Midjourney V5.
