Tim Sweeney on New Tech
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 09, 2000 4:12pm PDTOver on Evil Avatar, Epic programmer Tim Sweeney made a post explaining how fast the terrain code is running, as well as what API they (Epic) are supporting for this new technology.
The terrain code shown there is running on a GeForce2 on Direct3D at about 25 fps with over 100,000 triangles in view. It's still a work in progress and not fully optimized; the feature set will be targetted at the upcoming standards set by DirectX8/X-Box/NV20. It's 100% hardware-accelerated, and doesn't support Glide or software rendering anymore. The engine's historical 3dfx centrism is over, guys! All new tech is focused on Direct3D, and will also support OpenGL. [...]He also mentions these features will not make their way into an Unreal 1 or Unreal Tournament patch.

I think 3DRealms learned their lesson. We won't be seeing much of Duke before next May, and that's the way I like it.

Oh, and this whole tease by Sweeney and Co. is sick, all these guys should be following Brossard's example and have a media blackout on all tech/screenshots/hype.
