Ik krijg zonet van <iemand waarvan ik de naam niet weet> [UPDATE: iemand waarvan ik de naam nu wel weet: Peter ] een ICQ message dat Matrox Users een MPEG filmpje gepost heeft van Expendable op de G400. Op het filmpje kun je de ultra-wrede bumpmapping effecten van de G400 in actie zien. Hier is de info:
It seems the words G400 and bump mapping are inseparable judging by all the reviews, previews and general chat around at the moment. One of the best G400 bumped pieces of eye candy at the moment is Expendable with it's environment mapped bump mapped water amongst other things. The screenshots are mouthwatering but you've not really seen it until you've seen it in motion, the water is fully animated with waves and ripples with light reflections. I've produced a short MPEG video of a little Expendable action next to a body of water showing off environment mapped bump mapping. The MPEG is 2.9MB in size and is a capture of Expendable running at 1024x768 in 32-bit colour, the slight jerkiness is a result of the capture (the game is running at around 40fps and the capture is at 25fps). This type of bump mapping effect is not supported at all by any other card at the moment, those cards supporting embossed bump mapping cannot produce anything like this type of effect so beware anyone who uses G400 screenshots to illustrate bump mapping when talking about another card, the TNT2 for example.
Filmpje kun je hier neer gaan halen. Ik heb 'm zelf niet geprobeerd (ivm met de trage 56K6 waar ik nu op zit), maar Peter zegt dat het gaaf is.
