Searching for information about mathematical physicist Chris Doran, I happened across this news release. A quick search in the EVE forums got zero hits for Geomerics, so this may be news to the forum. If you visit the Geomerics website, it includes some movies of its lighting engine, Enlighten, which may be what walking in stations will look like next year.
-----------------------------------------------
Geomerics Lights Up CCP
Enlighten to be used in Eve Online as part of multititle deal.
Geomerics, the Cambridge based developer of cutting-edge graphics technology for videogames has announced its pioneering Enlighten technology has been licensed by CCP in a multi-product deal. The first use of this license will be seen in a forthcoming update for EVE Online, one of the world's most popular massive multiplayer online games.
EVE online is set in a futuristic persistent world where players take the role of spaceship pilots in a vast, complex, and frequently hostile galaxy. Currently players of EVE online are only presented with an external view of their universe. But in a new update planned for 2009, entitled 'Walking in Stations', players will for the first time be able to explore interiors of space ships and space stations. In order to create the most beautiful and exciting interiors, CCP have turned to the market-leading lighting product Enlighten.
Enlighten empowers artists to create vivid and dynamic worlds in unrivalled detail. It is the only truly next-gen technology that offers dynamic radiosity in a runtime environment, providing the designers of EVE Online with the speed and flexibility necessary to create interior worlds that to date have only been seen in film.
"Real-time computer graphics hardware has advanced greatly in the last 10 years and we've made good progress in the lighting methods used in games," said Halldor Fannar, CTO of CCP.
"However, optical interaction between lit surfaces has always been missing and this is a key component for the visual fidelity that we are now working with at CPP. Enlighten solves this complex problem and that's why we chose it."
Gary Lewis, CEO Geomerics added, "The goal of Enlighten is to expand the boundaries of what is possible inside any game world. With a product such as EVE Online, and a partner such as CCP, we know our technology is being used to create truly revolutionary environments that would not have been possible without Enlighten."

i like the station walking idea. not so sure about the inside of our ships though. i like to leave room for the imagination when it comes to the insides of them.

I've been inside a ship wen I undocked behind a freighter in my shuttle and it's pretty empty in there so walking around in one would be pretty boring. Only god knows where they keep the engines, they must fly by telekinesis

Thanks for that one! The lighting effects in the demo look quite gorgeous, and looking at EVE Premium, I think we're going to see something awesome next year. Very much looking forward to this.

Belive me there would be never walking in stations. CCP tries to implement it for years and we still dont have ambulation. So in 2010 there would be another amazing news about ambulation and another in 2012...etc but eventually there would be no ambulation in EVE

From the presentation, it sounded more like it was about the math and the shaders, so the technology should be rather API-agnostic. The EVE incarnation will be DX, obviously.
No sig for me, thankyouverymuch. |

I think he was refering to the fact they have pushed back the release date a few times, however no they havent uploaded it yet. That patch is one I will be setting a nice long skill for.
Even if its been worked on that much, such a huge expansion is bound to have some problems. Honestly it will be a bit before its operational, but I look forward to seeing it.

It would seem, Captain Pompous, that the majority so far disagree with both you AND Rigel. Even though wrong, you are entitled to your opinions. |

Funny how they can push something back that has never been set in the first place.
In fact, as far as I remember, CCP has avoided to mention any concrete release dates for Walking in Stations specifically to avoid premature expectations. They have only said that they hope/plan for a 2009 release, but that is not saying much.
