"This is a software driver for Warp3D, which enables:
using Warp3D applications, demos and games with PPC Amigas not equipped with a 3D GFx board, or not equiped with a GFx board at all (but requires P96 or CGX) [and] using Warp3D applications, demos and games not compatible with a 3D Gfx board (example : WipeOut and CGx4/Voodoo3)."

Warp3D software render driver : Comment 43 of 158 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bernd Meyer on 20-Feb-2002 12:44 GMT | In reply to Comment 42 (Christoph Gutjahr): No, sorry, I *don't* see the difference. Either it is a commercial product, or it isn't. Or at least if you make it a commercial product for people you don't like the look of, and a non-commercial one for people you like the look of, then at least have the decency to come out and say so.
Please note that I have never ever uttered a word against the W3D team for treating W3D as a commercial product, and insisting on a license. I have been writing and selling software for, yikes, 18 years now, so I really have the highest respect for anyone else who does produce a good product and tries to make a few bucks of it. No problem *at all*.
Supposedly, the New Amiga Future (be it Pegasos, or AmigaONE, be it OS4.0 or MorphOS, or maybe even 3.9 in emulation) is just around the corner. And it's supposed to be built on fast PPC processors, and to use the very same gfx cards Amithlon uses. That's not a handful of old and decrepit Phase5 cards which nobody dare send to DCE for repairs, for fear of losing them completely. That's a whole bunch of new machines, or so it is said, which I get told again and again will, real soon now, outsell Amithlon. And gee whizz, isn't it funny --- they would have a W3D software renderer available. I am just *sure* that bplan and Eyetech will simply rush to their respective banks to transfer the licence fees to the W3D guys..... |
