Re: DX10 features / Graphics
What are you talking about ladiesandgentalmen? he was talking about Crysis gameplay and AI while your going on about how he couldn't have played it because of the graphics?
Yes your right about the graphics but clearly you didn't read what he said. I applaud you for being on topic though ![]() Also on that wiki page you guys linked above the publisher for DNF is GOD games? If that's right what happened to take 2 I wonder? (probably got fed up of waiting I bet).

Also note that it's not necessarily harder to do dynamic lighting in huge out door areas since that usualy means you have a single light souce (can't think of a situation in crysis where you had any other major light sources) while indoors you are likely going to need lightsources in each and every room and the walls will not block the light for free. Overlapping light sources are costly. In other words indoors are a more dificult situation to optimize in this regard. The thing with outdoors is that you have potentially more resources to handle. It's generaly not more pixels to draw though which is a pretty big factor in todays graphics engines rather then polygon counts which used to be the big obstacle. |

Also, the only other game that has dynamic shadows and lighting is Flight Simulator X, and unless you set the rest of the graphics to almost minimum it's barely playable and it looks pretty ugly too, so there you have it.

Just to make it clear, I was also not disputing your whole argument, if you look carefully all I was questioning was the claim that Crysis was the ONLY game that could do dynamic shadows on everything. Just to name a few that can do dynamic shadows, Doom3, FEAR, UT3(with ini tweaks in mods). And now you are doing it again with the whole "the most advanced physics engine ever". And for the record I am of the opinion that Cryengine is one of if not the most capable from a graphics point of view. But that doesn't make all other engine programmers inferior. There is no engine out there that is impressive because of just one feature (Most if not all of them can be found in whitepapers and a lot of the time with source code) but the complete package and how it is all integrated mkaes an engine impressive. Cryengine is no diferent just as the long list of features you just mentioned proves. All of them is done by other engines but few if any do all of them. Edit: it's also not without it's price the engine can do all it does. It's the only game I have currently had to put to the side until I get my new machine. |

When Atari(I think they still went by Infogrames back then) sold the DNF publishing rights to Take Two, DNF was formally gonna be published under the GOD Games brand, a brand that has since been discontinued. What brand Take Two will use for DNF is not known but somehow I doubt it will be GOD Games. Probably 2K or Rockstar. But whatever they chose to do that is something that is of little consequence to either 3DR(I believe George once said he didn't care) or the fans. |

Also, OpenGL isn't fading away. It's still number one in anything profesionnal/workstation and it's still there in gaming, no matter what people say. All Blizzard/id/Epic PC titles use OpenGL. 3D graphics on Mac/PS3/iPhone/Linux? OpenGL. OpenGL has always been on par be it feature-wise or performance-wise. (and sometimes better, i.e. DirectX 10 features available when DirectX wasn't even released) Picking between OpenGL and DirectX is pretty much a trivial matter from a technical point of view and doesn't affect the core design of a 3D graphics engine at all.

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
Yes it is, introducing it differs from actual ground up reworked API. As I said, A lot of CAD programs are moving to D3D. So the ground OpenGL was strong in before, almost the sole API used, is gone. I think that is alarming. I still stand by notion that OpenGL is hindered by their love for backwards compability.
For me, standardized routine(DirectX 10 and beyond) sounds more better, than doing everything via extensions (OpenGL). http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2008/0...l-30-released/ http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?.../08/11/2135259

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
The "bad" OpenGL 3.0 reception was just a local problem due to the fact that some people were waiting for what was previously announced as Longs Peaks and canned later in the process by members of the ARB who didn't see the need of implementing the new object model as the spec laid it out. Longs Peak didn't introduce any new functionality and was still on par with D3D 9 feature-wise, whereas this version of GL3 is on par with Direct3D 10 without requiring any extensions (and is also available on XP); I'm not sure what the deal is with that need for a "ground-up reworked API". OpenGL as it is now totally matches the hardware and the API certainly doesn't cause a performance problem. API-level considerations such as this and "standardized routine" versus extension-based model (which OpenGL 3.0 doesn't require to be on par with DX10) are really trivial as a whole and don't have anything to do with the power and versatility of a graphics API.
Also, you're failing to realize that most of the CAD/pro workstation world is running Linux (and the freelance designer types are using Macs). Windows has _some_ market share, but the vast majority of the workstation market (with customers using products such as NVIDIA Quadro or AMD/ATI FireGL for a handful of them) is held by the Linux realm.

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
You fail to realize that in reality most CAD programs run on top of Windows, the likes of Autodesk software(Win only), SolidWorks, Bentley... So fort. CATIA dropped Unix support too. I haven't checked, but I bet most of Dassault Systemes -softwares have too changed to Windows only.
If OpenGL 3.0 is on the level of DX10, that's great. Quote:

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
It used to be so that ATI had better Direct3D drivers and nVidia had better OpenGL drivers. Nowdays the difference in speed from drivers is pretty negblible, but nVidia has better support for OpenGL overall. In games, the difference is neglible.

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
peoplessi: Don't forget Autodesk Maya. It's true that some businesses shifted to Windows, but you have to keep in mind that back in the day, 100% of the pro 3D graphics market was owned by SGI/IRIX workstations. Given the inertia these kind of businesses have (really long testing and hardware/software renewal cycles to minimize technical problems which could impede their workflow) the majority still hasn't moved away from a Unix world (pro Linux solutions like RHEL being the usual compromise). Dassault is a substantial player in this industry, but there are definitely plenty of others which sum up for a lot of market share. As for being off-topic, the original topic was kind of boring and you being wrong and me being right makes for a much more enjoyable discussion.
![]() fast-1: ATI traditionally hasn't been very caring for their OpenGL implementation until a few years ago, so OpenGL games would indeed lose to NVIDIA with comparable hardware (or have bugs usually fixed with updated drivers at some point). Now that ATI is out of the Apple field, the next OpenGL gaming milestone for them is Riddick 2 and then Rage. It'll be interesting to see how they fare then.

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
As I said before, DX10 level of features was available in OpenGL since november 2006, even before DirectX 10 was officially out and months before the first DX10-compliant title shipped. OpenGL 3.0 just made it core functionality, which is not that different. And now that the wave of "GL3 isn't Longs Peak!" haters has faded a bit, people are overall pretty enthusiastic about the feature-set and the deprecation model.
And my whole point since the beginning of this discussion has been that what you call an "undeniable fact" is far from it in my opinion. My points being:

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
Plagman, I don't get your point, I said that OpenGL is losing momentum, which is true. Everything has been said in that regard. The amount it being used is not increasing, that was the point, I can't really see what you are arguing about.
Show me those enthusiastic developers. Based on the OpenGL forums, there aren't that many(id basically alone).

This means they can do a lot more with effects. Also, DX10 is more efficient. Meaning more frames less hardware usage which = more room for even fancier graphics (high poly models, Higher resolution PS effects [normal mapping ect.] bigger maps or more models on screen perhaps.) The reason why DX10 and DX 9 look so similar is because to this day there isn't one Direct X 10 generation game. They all start as DX9 and as a result get ported to DX10 and they change a few effects. This is why DX10 mode usually garners less fps as well since the game isn't completely built on DX10 code. It's DX9 code ran threw a DX 10 compiler + few new DX 10 code effects (like the FOG in bioshock.) Thank you very much :-) |

There is no use for openGL in the indie market either. Sounds like your just making stuff up now. Emulators are illgal, so they don't count. Crossplatform games? Yeah because xbox uses openGL. OpenGL is used for sony game. This is also another reason on top of the cell that developers don't wish to bother with the ps3. When they write code for PC they usually use Direct X these days. Why? Because to port to 360 all you have to really do is run it through a different compiler. Ps3 has to be heavily modified and depending on the game engine bring up support for openGL. This is the main reason Orange Box doesn't run well on ps3. Also "[*]Linux being the primary platform for visual computing." What world are you living in? Because seriously.... I never met a person who chooses to use Linux for anything other than a dedicated server. If you take the average amount of computers in the USA and assigned %'s to the operating systems they would probably go something like this... Microsoft Windows (9x,2000,XP and Vista) 96% Apple OSX 2% Linux 1.5% Unix .5% You realize there are hundres of thousands of office buildings in this country. All have thousands of computers in them. Virtually all of them Microsoft? As much as it's sad to see, but openGL won't be around much longer. Apple will come out with their own API for things like Ipods and Iphones, and sony will probably end up using Direct X in the long run, just like the next Microsoft console will have blue ray player.... They have to unless a new format that some how surpasses Multi layer BR discs with a 1tb maximum capacity... Oh did I mention the 1TB BR disc is backwards compatible to very first blue ray players? Google it. Oh snap. It's evolution broham... nothing personal.

Re: DX10 features / Graphics
*sigh*
First of all, all Epic and Blizzard PC games support OpenGL and it's not "experimental"; they're sold on Mac. (with the exception of UT3 still being ported) Then, a ton of indie games are based on open-source id technology or custom OpenGL engines. (a non-exhaustive list: Warsow, Nexuiz, Savage, Savage 2, Cube, Sauerbraten, Alien Arena, OpenArena, Tremulous, Urban Terror, and lots of others). And for the cross-platform part I meant Linux, BSD, Mac kind of platforms. I won't bother replying to the "Emulators are illgal, so they don't count" comment. That statement: "This is the main reason Orange Box doesn't run well on ps3" has no basis in reality (I'll gladly accept a link to an official statement on the matter to prove me wrong, though). As I said before the graphics API is a _trivial_ element when it comes to performance or engineering time. The PS3 platform is known to be trickier to develop for, and not because of OpenGL. I'm no sure you understood what I called "visual computing". Think Tesla/Quadro Plex users. And yeah, those are pretty much dedicated servers.
