From Doom To Dunia — the History of 3D Engines
notthatwillsmith writes "It's difficult to think of a single category of application that's driven the pace of desktop hardware development further and faster than first-person shooters. Maximum PC examined the evolution of FPS engines, looking back at the key technologies that brought games from the early sprite-based days of Doom to the fully 3D-rendered African Savannah as rendered by Far Cry 2's Dunia engine. It's truly amazing how far the state of the art has moved in the last 16 years."
Oh great, another ignorant person against history. History is where we can learn from the mistakes of others so we dont repeat them. Why do you think most successful people know most of the history within their domain? History also allows us to put things into perspective and respect what has come before us, as well as thinking about whats coming next.
P.S. Global warming is a fraud, there is no such thing. It would happen with or without human action, the whole solar system is heating up, our magnetic shield is weakening as if getting ready for a pole shift. This whole global warming propaganda is just a way to keep people in line while having them think they're doing the good thing so they dont question it and reject those who do.
Do you D?
