NRev is still in the running!

And the funny thing is that revolution can use rendered graphics in realtime. Its called Cube mapping and its Nintendo technology.So no rendered PS3 or 360 graphics in realtime only on Revolution.

Consider this a polite warning - nonsense posts on the B3D boards will not be tolerated; if you don't understand something or really don't have any correct information, then don't post. Silly things like above will just incite attacks from other users or at the very least, plenty of "rolling eyes".

Ouch, poor Nvidia. They must pay to Nintendo for talking about Cube Mapping in one of their GPU Gems.

I think he's talking about the Nintendo patent that's come up on these forums quite a few times. The one about using pre-rendered backdrops as if they are real time levels using some kind of cube mapping technology.

Not to be a butthole or anything here, but you got a few things rather mixed up there. No, it's not called cube mapping, and it doesn't quite do what you think it does. Nintendo has a patent on doing rendering with pre-rendered graphics and cube mapping, but there are limitations with their technique regarding viewing angles, shadows, lighting etc. It's not as good as actually being able to render that graphics realtime, or even anywhere near it.

Also, cube mapping in of itself is not a nintendo patent, it's been used in PC realtime hardware since the original geforce 256 which launched in 98 I believe, and it may have been implemented in professional hardware - and certainly in software renderers - LONG before then.

Okay folks, can we leave the point now - the user won't be able to reply anyway...

what the hell? someone actually mistook the picture of that character kicking the rats as link?...woah....I think the masses really need some type of information from Nintendo if it gets that bad. I personally can't wait.

Yikes! I never saw that render but it looks nothing like Link in any way, shape, or form. Glad these were proven fake.

These aren't leak though, these idiots just rip off other people works. That's where I have a problem. At least give credits to the team or something.

I agree wholeheartedly V3.
