    Technology Demo???

    The landscape matrox GDC demo remember me the g400 technology demo.

    Look at the Menu

    Add/remove features.

    Are the creator of the demo the same guys that develop the g400 demo???

    well, Digital Illussions made the g400 techdemo(and did a great job IMO).
    they also made the game that was bundled with the g200 mystique(motorhead, i think).

    i don´t know if they still work with matrox. my guess is that someone else will make the parhelia techdemo, but that is just a guess.

    i think we will find the creator among those who has made g400 patches for their game though(it is a long list )

    has matrox done any techdeoms themselves? or do they always hire a thirdpaty software company?

    I don´t think we will see a gamebundle that takes great advantage of all the parhelia features. unlike the old embm, displacement mapping isn´t just a last minute change, if you want it used right, like for example a terrain engine that uses dmaps, and only works on a parhelia. of course you might be able to just replace ordinary bumbmaps with dmaps, i don´t know, but if that is the case we might see a optimized bundled game afterall. games that only ran on a specific vga is (thank goodness) a dying trend from the voodoo-age. my guess is that the bundled game might just be a normal dx8.1 game.


    BTW wasn´t Digital Illussions famous for their pinball-games for the amiga a long time ago??

    This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

      Yep!!

      They were!

      In the good old time when Code optimizing was an art! (nowdays its "Well it manages 5fps on a P3 500 so there is no need to optimize" )
      If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

        i think the lithtech engine may reveal something, won't that do displacement maps or something???

          A 'new world order' website is online

          http://194.109.215.13/new_world_order/


          They mention 'deformable geometry' , which sounds like a feature that could be implemented using DM.
          The screenshots look promising IMHO.
