Doom 3 Engine is already done.
Can we say chronicles of rid****?
Doom 3 Is not done
Doom 3 models use something called Normal mapping, which is why they look soo high res, They make a million poly model, then they make a low res (3000 to 5000) model
and put the bumpmap from the million model on the low res model. Its truly an excellent idea, As for system reqs ... Doom 3 will run on computers that arent super machines, The alpha [ mind you alpha = unstable ] runs on my machine fine, as long as nothing stressfull happens. I can run in 800 x 600 with all the light / shadow effects on, and stay around 30 fps.
My sys -
AMD XP 2100
512 DDR 2700
40 Gig 5400 rpm
GeForce4 ti 4400
That is a low end system for new games.
To those of you with anything less than 1ghrz and a geforce 2
Mabey you should start saving.
to everyone else
go buy doom 3 when it comes out
