| Hyperion software will port Soldier of Fortune to Amiga and Mac : Comment 52 of 66 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Hans-Joerg Frieden on 12-Jun-2000 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 40 (Chris Roccati):
: The Q2 engine is more COMPLEX. This means it will be slower. You get it?
Actually, you are wrong. The Q2 engine has actual additions that will make it
faster for some things than the Quake 1 engine. This additional performance
is used for more geometry usually, so it *appears* to be slower. But it added
visibility portals, which greatly reduce the number of polygons in the PVS.
It *does* feature more advanced model animation stuff, so that you can
interpolate between frames ("morph targets"), but then Heretic II uses
its own model system (flex models) based on skeletal animation.
Best regards, Hans-Joerg. |
