Download » AMD DirectX 11 Techdemo Ladybug
The Ladybug demo shows the results of a new approach to simulating lens-accurate depth-of-field effects based on real-world parameters of focal length and focus distance. This technique is made possible by the ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 Series of graphics processors and the Microsoft® DirectX® 11 and Direct Compute 11 technologies.
Depth-of-field is used in feature films by cinematographers to subtly guide a viewer’s attention through a shot or to heighten the emotion of a scene. This technique finally provides developers with a way to achieve the same effects and bring new levels of cinematic realism to their games. This approach is enabled by features such as atomic operations and shared memory.
The Ladybug demo requires Windows 7® operating system, an ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 Series graphics processor, ATI Catalyst™ 9.9 or higher software, a dual- or quad-core CPU, and 2GB of RAM.
