"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 59 of 158 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 20-Feb-2002 20:08 GMT | In reply to Comment 50 (Bernd Meyer): @Bernie: The target audience of the W3D software renderer for PPC would be those PPC users who are without 3D hardware and want to run games like Wipeout.
I actually believe Wipeout was one of the main raisons why Stephane developed this but you would need to ask him yourself.
b) Stephane "agreed" not to release the 68k (and x86) renderer --- agreed with whom? Agreed to whom's request?
Agreed with the Frieden brothers in particular and with Hyperion in general.
Stephane is a valued OS 4 developer BTW.
c) Seeing as Warp3D 4.0 is freely distributable, would it, from your point of view, be OK to release a renderer for *that* version?
Bernie, this is a commercial decision on our part, it's that simple.
Harald keeps calling us and telling about the vast multitude of sales of Amithlon.
So I can only assume you guys are raking in the bucks.
So please don't start about the very low license fee of Warp3D which is 2500 euro at most and open to negotiation.
David Scheibler: Hyperion is not transferring ownership of Warp3D to third parties including Amiga. Amiga will get a license to incorporate it into AmigaOS 4.0 PPC and beyond.
If ever there would be an OS 4 for x86, this would need to be renegotiated. |
