OB> That is what 3D HARDWARE is for, no??????? I mean that it needs __specific__ hardware. I don't think that gamers (or other end-consumers) want to buy one more $0000000 cards. ok! it usefull for 3d modelling, but we have Quadro cards from NV, and i don't think that NVidia agree to miss this sphere. and I want to remind you that main power of D3D/OGL are its powerfull tools (Cg, CgFX ), tons of documentation, lots of seminars and other teaching stuff.

We play to Quake II in software mode (640x480)... ~20-30fps on very "weak" computers.... OB> Trust me, OpenGL will quickly (2-4 years) become obsolete.

Well, THAT can be called: "detail"... ok! some screenshots for you. Realtime. Without any specific (i mean you don't need buy something else) hardware. With soft requirements. http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image18.jpg http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image12.jpg http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image29.jpg http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image10.jpg http://www.oblivion-lost.com/community/screenshots/stalker050503.jpg http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image31.jpg http://www.oblivion-lost.com/community/screenshots/stalker050603_01.jpg http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image26.jpg (very big) http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image32.jpg http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image27.jpg (very big) http://zona.arhipelag.net/stalker/Screens/image20.jpg is it so bad? :)) P.S. sorry for my eNGliSh -- Best regards, Astar mailto:As...@tu... |
