Congratulations Guys!
Eagerly awaiting my copy here. Whilst on the subject, what happend in
the Warp3d v4 ... the drivers are huge, you hang half of DirectX in
there? ;-)
Many Thanks,
Steve

In reply to Comment 2 (JKD):
The SDK will be released soon, this will answer some of the questions. Essentially, we've implemented what is called VertexArrays (to stick with DirectX, they call it VertexBuffers). This is a variable-storage area for vertex data that is much more liberal than the old W3D_Vertex structure, and has a definable data format (within certain limits).
The reason why the drivers got so big is that there is specialized code in there for every combination of formats and primitives. This gives the best possible speed (think of template classes in C++), but of course blows up the code a bit... (a bit meaning three times here :-)
But the speed of Shogo serves as a proof of concept ;-)

Wow! Never thought that a Permedia2 is capable of getting that speed in 640x480 on a 603e.
