Theres more texture mapping on one monster in the Unreal 3 engine, then an entire level in the original Unreal, think about it....

blitz basic wouldnt be able to do that
ud need to use openGL or directx (i beleive they used directx)
so u could use any language with ogl or dx bindings (support), but the engine there is definately c++

even with those ud need to have a gfx card with pixel shaders (radeon 9500 and up)

holy crap! that kills opengl. they went nuts with directx 9 i wonder if the running speed is good.

Post subject: 

im fairly sure that same thing could be done with ogl

apparently the only card that can run that at a fps of over 1-2 is the new geforce 6800

its not bad.. can still improve.. i mean i haven't yet seen something to the extent of merging reality with the game world. i mean super ultra realistic.

this one as some pretty cool shadowing though. and nice job on lighting.

i guess they firstly need to work on better texture effects. it all looks plastic.

so it's not practical yet for other graphic cards yet?!

Author:  Catalyst [ Tue May 25, 2004 9:43 pm ]
Post subject: 

nope, since it set for a 2006 release i think the cards will be up to spec by then

are u aware that almost all games dunt take full advantage of the "latest" graphic cards? wouldn't this 3d enigne be the one that actually might take full advantage of it.

Very Shocked ...Yeah that is good stuff, these are apparently next gen graphics, I've seen a video about them. NO game has used these yet, as far as I know, best part is it will only get better. (duh)
