Title: Do You Think.....
Post by: zionner on August 05, 2007, 06:46:43 AM
Hey all

I've been doing a bit of research into the diffrences between engines like TG and Real Time Engines..and I was wondering

Dose anyone here think TG 2 will ever be able to support real time rendering ect?

Thanks

Well eventually I would think that the preview window would give greater detail but as for full render I don't think so. I say this because a lot of game engines use a combinations of a bunch of maps (normal maps, cavity maps, ect) and while terrigen may a one point be able to do this it seems the current priority is to work with shaders and funtions.

Hmm... I think that we'll get real time rendering when TG is multithreaded and we have 48-core processors running at 5Ghz.
