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!
