Nvidia sinks moon landing hoax using virtual light

The first manned missions to Earth's satellite began in 1969 with Apollo 11. Just a few years later, conspiracies sprouted up claiming that potentially each of the six lunar landing crews and every one of the 12 Apollo astronauts who walked on the moon had in fact participated in an elaborate ruse. To the conspiracists, it may never have happened -- or didn't happen like NASA said it did -- and oh by the way, we duped the Russians into losing the space race.

Voxel global illumination, however, proves them wrong, says Nvidia. The technique, which the new GTX 970 and 980 can tap into, lets developers use dynamic lighting that will bounce, diffuse and reflect in real-time with unprecedented fidelity when new objects are added to a scene. Nvidia's GPUs are enhanced chips that allow graphics cards to more effectively and efficiently take data from a central processing unit, or CPU, and turn it into moving images on a display. In other words, voxel global illumination is the perfect rendering tool to tackle moon landing hoaxes that often use as evidence for their claims lighting discrepancies with NASA photography.

Yeah, slander is hysterical.

So much mileage out of such easy lies.

But you know what's best? That you'll never have to personally answer for what you've done.

Ever.

Right?

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I just assumed you were having fun with me. If that post was serious, you’ll need to supply the specifics, counselor.

:-P

It’s obvious that the Bilderbergers and Skull and Bones society built the Face on Mars using technology they got from the Rothschilds, and did it to divert attention from the hoaxed Moon landings.

Thanks BenLurkin.

Oh, and /sarc

Some of their ideas of lighting, etc. made sense in some ways. To make sense of it, and knowing that the moon landings were real, I wondered if SOME photos WERE from a stage lot somewhere to give a nice, clear, well arranged “promo” image useful for propaganda.

Sounds like that idea has been disproved by this new technology.

Not to be snarky, but would someone please ask the Soviets/Russians whether THEIR evidence shows that the U.S. moon landing was faked?

Can we even imagine what a propaganda victory that would have been for the USSR? Even the editors of Pravda & Izvestiya were capable of acknowledging when facts were facts.

Conspiracy nuts are just that but the ‘moon landing hoax army’ are an especially irritating lot.

The real dangerous ones are the 9/11 truther nut jobs...

They undermine the country...

Yeah, they did.

And now you did too with your little gif.

You learn that hypocritical attack-while-denying technique in shill school?

Or does it just come naturally?

I slandered you by posting a gif of Jennifer Lawrence?

Um, no. I did not.

You’re mighty worked up over nothing.

You mean the gif you posted of Jennifer Lawrence that contained the written words "calm down, crazy" as she mouthed them? That gif of Jennifer lawrence?

Well that gif, as you well know, is a slanderous insult.

Bald-faced liars being openly insulting me while denying it work me up. It's an integrity thing based on dealing with gross immorality - you wouldn't understand.
