Darth Vader is in his element, thanks to UC Berkeley professor James O'Brien. The computer scientist is the Yoda behind the key technology in LucasArts' upcoming Star Wars video game, "The Force Unleashed." It's not every professor who can give a Jedi his chops. "It has credibility beyond the nerd culture, so to speak," said Stuart Russell, O'Brien's UC Berkeley department chairman. Working with Switzerland-based Pixelux, O'Brien helped develop a program that brings new realism to simulated tearing, breaking and moving objects. Considering the Star Wars franchise has existed for more than 30 years — and the first Star Wars video game was released 25 years ago — O'Brien's contribution is a notable upgrade. LucasArts is the first to use DMM — or Digital Molecular Matter — technology, which is based on theories discussed in O'Brien's 2000 doctoral dissertation at Georgia Tech, "Graphical Modeling and Animation of Brittle Fracture." "There's nothing that does this kind of thing," said LucasArts spokesman Adam Kahn. During a recent demonstration of the Star Wars title — to be released Sept. 16 — at LucasArts' San Francisco offices, it didn't take a Jedi to sense DMM's presence." Click here for the full article.
