John Carmack Discuss Mega Texturing
An anonymous readers writes in to say that "id Software has introduced a new technology dubbed Mega Texturing that will allow graphic engines to render large textures and terrains in a more optomized way while also making them look better. Gamer Within has Q & A with John Carmack on Mega Texturing."
Fly away, troll.
Not Trolling. Realism in gaming is technology at its finest, please don't get me wrong here. I love that people are able to get the levels they do.
My problem with game relism is not just about my son and his age (he is 17 btw.) It is the that people are being desensitized to violence. As games have gotten more realistic they have allowed people to dismiss the tragedy of violence against humans. Aliens and monsters not withstanding! Kill them!
Watch "saving Private Ryan" over and over and see if the opening scene gives you the same reaction it did before. That is my point.
I think my post was modded off-topic correctly, but I feel it a necessary subject to raise.
And no...no legislation
The only mega-texturing I'm interested from Carmack is the charred hulks of Armadillo Aerospace craft on the Texas playa. C'mon John, FLY SOMETHING! Build it, fly it, break it! Whatever happened to your X-vehicle?
Who cares about Doom? Build the future!

..more optomized
Optimized? Do you get paid?
will allow graphic engines to render large textures and terrains in a more optomized way while also making them look better.
Perhaps the submitter and Taco should "optomize" their spell checker software.
