Exclamation New EDuke32 renderer!
Hey guys.
I know a lot of you have been waiting for advanced graphics features in EDuke32 for a long time, so I thought I could show you what I've been up to lately. I wrote a brand new renderer for EDuke32, which currently supports the following features:
  • Static and dynamic lights with a fully per-pixel lighting model
  • Advanced parallax mapping
  • Dynamic shadows
  • Real-time reflections with per-pixel perturbation
  • Hardware skinning for models
This new renderer relies on the DirectX 10 graphics API; I know a minority of you will be annoyed because they won't be able to run it, but it's really the only viable solution for writing something remotely good-looking at this point in time. Sorry XP, Linux and Mac users but your stuff just isn't up to the task.

That was the boring part. Now for some screenshots! (they're 1920x1200, so click to see them in their full glory)

http://plagman.net/stuff/dx10_render..._renderer3.png
http://plagman.net/stuff/dx10_render..._renderer4.png

Expect to see it soon!
(special thanks to Parkar from working hard on generating normal and specular maps for the textures in this scene)

Edit by TerminX: April fool's day is over, so here are a few actual details: this is a real renderer; it does not use DirectX but rather OpenGL; it supports everything mentioned and more; the renderer is not based on Polymost, minimum requirements are a card which supports shader model 3; Polymost will still be available for systems which can't run the new renderer adequately.

That's kind of the joke. The in-engine real-time effect is now prettier than a raytraced render.

That old render is actually not a strictly raytraced image though.

Re: New EDuke32 DirectX 10 renderer!
This time it's actually more believable. Check the sofa or washbasins, it's the original E1M1 geometry, not a fancy 3DSMax scene.

According to my info from 2 years ago, this might be the real deal.

According to the actual date, it might be a fools joke as well.

Only time will tell

Too bad they didn't make *ALL* the restroom tiles mirrored... But I guess making this looking like it does was enough work already.

First time they've been posted. You're probably referring to a similar render posted a few years ago (and was dug up in this thread) but it's not the same pic as you could tell by being able to see.

Y'see, the renderer isn't actually DirectX 10. I sure fooled you. It's OpenGL. Also, more shots.
