Loiosh Posted August 8, 2009 http://www.cdaction.pl/news-7673/john-carmack-opowiada-o-rage---pol-godziny-goracego-materialu-prosto-ze-studia-id-software.html Carmack gave one of his excellent presentation / rambling sessions for CD-Action. It's a good primer on the Rage engine and includes some nice highlights. Pt 1: Discussion of Megatexturing and the reasons behind it. Cost of stamping tools. Pt 2: Pros and Cons of baked-in lighting for MT. Discussion of iD Tech 5 other features (slightly). iD Tech ramp-up time for designers and artists. PS3 vs Xbox technical concerns. iD Tech 6 direction. Pt 3: Further iD Tech 6 direction discussion... and my favorite part. This is relevant to Idle fans as ~ 2 mins in he discusses the mod community and specifically hits on a point the Thumbs made a few weeks ago. Discussion of the next generation of consoles, Sony intentions and downloadable content. Future of graphic technology. Engine nerds, rejoice. What I love most about Carmack is, unlike a lot of other engine designers, he always sounds so excited and hopeful for the future. He makes me feel like the future is just going to be even more awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
