Verc makes a game, and just casually makes one of the best audio systems I've ever seen. What the hell

Haha thank you so much!

imagine if this is a standard for all games. they keep improving the visuals but no one is imrpoving the audio.

Imagine locking up someone and hearing their muffled scream. This better be in GTA 6

When its out were going to be able to make maps so much cooler :D tune in for the opening of the dance floor

And 10 months later, this is common in game. =)

Man, you are absolute chad. Can't wait to dabble in this approach myself :D

Sounds neat. It would be inteesting to see absorption rate and reflections added. Example - the difference between a room made of tile, stone, wood, wool, glass, etc, all the same size. Also some diffraction would be appreciated.

This looks insane, phenomenal job.

Amazing! It would be really cool if amplitude affected how far the rays went and also different frequencies represented by rays as different frequences have different wavelengths and thus travel at different speeds and roll off at different distances.

Also this opens up a whole new world for materials. Imagine making sound parameters for materials in blender with nodes.

@@JJ-fc2ho ​ thanks! Yeah I agree, I have a lot to learn with how different materials affect different sounds (absorbing some frequencies more than others) but would love to have it implemented. I think the OpenAL 3D audio system manages the roll-off, in one of the recent videos I posted you can hear the thunder when underground but not the rain

Pretty nice. I've noticed you've managed to reduce the jarring transitions between audio levels quite a bit. At around 1:40 there's still a HUGE difference in volume when above the hole or inside, more so than what I deem reasonable. Take a look at it and maybe tone that down a bit, too. Very impressive, keep it up.

Yo dis be insaneeeee 🎉🎉 Keep it up man

Nice! I had an idea like this some time ago. I thought it would be good for realistic gun sounds.

thats crazy bro. im a music producer and programmer too (but not this good, just mobile things).. and you could filter the audio a little when its coming from behind. thats how our brain knows its coming from behind, because our ears attenuate the highs and filter it in a special way. i think this is already way too cool, but maybe with a little trick you can make it even more realistic !

Great point! I've since enabled HRTF and the difference is night and day

Incredible

very inspiring

sick

This is exactly what I was looking

This should be in all FPS game, at least in CS2

My mind is blown

Yes! This is great work! Is the raycasting expensive? There sure are a lot!

Needs some diffraction, so hearing around corners should be slightly louder Regardless, this is an impressive audio system.

That’s really cool! Do any sounds penetrate through walls, or would I be totally isolated from outside sounds if I was inside a sealed bunker?

@Vercidium

Thanks! The audio quality isn’t as great on KZread but the lower frequencies penetrate through when you’re isolated.

Do you limit the speed of the audio rays? Like if there is an explosion that happens kinda far away?

OpenAL Soft handles that for me, it delays the audio based on the distance between the listener and the sound source. It also simulates redshift for objects moving towards/away from you, it's super cool stuff

really does need to use both ears at all times, seems to use one or the other a bit to much

I'm really fascinated by this. How does it work? are rays being cast from the player to determine distance to the sound? or how big a room is? Or are the rays coming from the sound source itself? I'm not super educated in game development so i'm sorry if i'm way tf off lol.

1000 rays are cast out from the player in every direction. If a small percentage of rays reach a sound then it will be muffled, and if all rays reach a sound then it will sound clear Reverb is calculated based on how far the rays travel (big vs small room) and how many rays return back to the player (echo)

that is honestly so cool. super easy to understand explanation, thank you for the reply! Such an interesting technology.

How come AAA games aren't doing this? Is it super resource intensive?

@Vercidium

2 жыл бұрын

From what I’ve done so far it’s not that resource intensive. Most AAA games do use these filters and reverb effects, but since they don’t have destructible environments they can specify from the beginning that ‘this part of the map is a small room, this part is outdoors, this sound is in a different room to the player and should have effects X and Y’

@@Vercidium I understand that but I've never heard raycasted audio before and it sounds amazing. It's way different than using zones with reverb effects. I hope this gets into some AAA games. That would be awesome

@silarious9014

It is more resource intensive for games that aren't voxel, with nearly everything being 90 degree angles and effectively lowest poly count possible raycasting is faster and more simple.

is the sound actually delayed according to the "Path" of the sound? What i'm trying to ask is: Are Echos possible?

@Vercidium

It’s not delayed, OpenAL Soft is used to add reverb effects to sounds

I wonder if my low end pc could run this.

Was this made with unity, godot, unreal or did you make it in something else

Hey this is a custom engine made with C# and OpenGL

RTX for your ears? Better hide it from Creative lawyers before they steal it for their next overpriced sound card lol For real though, it's looking fantastic! It reminds me of the GSound Demonstration (kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKmJmsmJd5XJeKw.html) which looked really promising, but never really took off AFAIK also, any reason why HRTF was turned off since last video? It really added to the effect
