As a long-time lurker I decided I have to finally register to say please get rid of this 'onetimeposter' and those like him. The B3D boards used to be a haven of information and competent discussion, not childish, uninformed, ignorant, pointless, and biased threads such as this. This is something I would expect from GA Forums, or even TXB, not B3D. I come here much less than I used to due to people like him, and I really want that to change. I want the old B3D back.

Do you even know what software layering is?

Thats not the best question to ask on a messege board...google is a good good friend.

On Topic: Very pretty video. I like how one of the Mountains what casting a shadow on the water. Very Pretty....but its yet to be seen if Consoles can do this.

PS: Hasamasand (onetimeposter) doesn't seem to be a 360 guy...but a all out Microsoft one. First time i've seen one...oh my gosh!

not technically, do you?

Yeah, it's basically like using a wrapper or emulator.

OpenGL on Windows Vista uses software layering. What that means is that when a game is written in OpenGL, there is an added layer of software that converts the OpenGL commands to DirectX before it's sent to the hardware drivers.

It DEGRADES performance.

So, my question is, why would any console want software layering? All it will do is make the game run slower. It doesn't add or increase functionality at all, all it does is convert one format to another.

thats what i was saying. when we factor in directx10 hardware, it will look miles ahead of anything we just saw in the video. if Software can do this, i thought, how good with dx10 hardware make it look
 
isnt the 360 xenon rumored to support some, if little, dx10 features?

and to quote Titanio
- They have PS3 kits and are making an "engine within an engine" so to speak, just for PS3.

i dont think dx10 is the end to end all.
 
Impressive on the PC, but nothing the PS3 or X360 can't handle. Even current real-time material looks better than that.
