John Carmack explaining principles of light and rendering

Although DOOM 4 was no-show this Quakecon, there was a cool lesson from John Carmack, apart from classic game programming talk, Principles of light and rendering, mainly focused on game developpers. Here is first video starting with funny introduction by Tim Willits jokingly threatening the audience with physical attack if someone asks about Doom 4! This guy will need a psychoterapist soon :) But now John Carmack casting more light on topic of ... light! More parts of this presentation should come up after the end of the video.

Doom 4 latest news

So we have Quakecon getting closer to its finish and there was John Carmack`s highly awaited keynote as every year for many expecting to hear or even see something new about Doom 4. As probably one of the biggest dissapointment, Carmack could not say anything and so was eveyone else from ID or Bethesda, like Tim Willits or Pete Hines. There was only assurance for Doom fans, that the game is deep in its development and announcement about hiring art director Hugo Martin, who recently worked on designing Jeager huge robot machines for Pacific Rim.
Polygon.com has written an article covering this in more detail.
