Apparently Carmack demoed the next gen id tech at the Apple WWDC keynote.

I assume there'll be video of the keynote posted once it's over... did anyone see it live?

EDIT: removed bogus link. Just go to the other thread, it has the goods...

For reference, there's some discussion about this in Console Technology.

Still, might as well leave this thread open as the topic fits both places and there probably aren't a perfect overlap in what subforums people browse.

Wait...What's happening here?

psurge posted the wrong link? There's pictures in the console forum thread.

Anyway, the Mac context is that footage from the next generation id engine was revealed during a keynote address dealing, among other things, with how Apple sees the Mac as once again becoming a games platform.

As one of the first orders of business in today's WWDC Keynote address, Apple CEO Steve Jobs invited EA CCO Bing Gordon and id Games Owner and CTO John Carmack on to the stage.

Citing that EA customers were moving to the Mac in droves, EA announced that it would once again begin developing games for the Mac platform with simultaneous releases as their Windows counterparts. Command and Conquer 3, Battlefield 2142, Need For Speed Carbon, and Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix are coming in July 2007, with Madden 08 and Tiger Woods 08 to follow.

id Games also previewed forthcoming technology that allows for unprecedented texture detail. The technology was being shown first at WWDC, and would be given more in-depth demonstrations at E3.

It looked good, but I am looking forward to what they come up with in the future. They said they made this in 10 days using whatever assets they had around (like the soul cube he is holding).

It seems to me that given more time by say e3 it will be much more exciting.
