Red Faction: Hardware T&L Support

Posted by WildWolf:

Alan Lawrance, that crazy Lead Designer foo, made a post regarding Hardware T&L Support to the VBB:

My understanding is that T&L is not the bottleneck in the graphics pipeline, so moving that to hardware provides little benefit.

I would also expect that using a generic T&L system would be a pain to implement. Our engine programmer could answer this question better than me though.

He later recanted that statement:

I take back what I just said... big time.

One of our programmers added in hardware T&L support, and the results were nothing short of amazing. We've got a GeForce2 pumping out ungodly face counts, running 70FPS, and all at 1600x1200 to boot.

Needless to say, anyone with hardware T&L is going to be one happy camper when it comes to running RF.

Sweet. Good thing I own a GeForce 2!

Huh? There is no camping allowed in Red Faction
