The Tron 2.0 game is great,
as I hoped.
The gameplay is basic FPS stuff, but the look is phenomenal.
Particularly the much hyped glow effect.
 The part that makes this remarkable is they can do this 30 times a second at 1280x960 resolution, thanks to the magic of Cg. Cg allows you to write programs that do things like calculate per-pixel shading to create all sorts of crazy effects in real time. Consumer video cards have an astonishing amount of parallel computing capacity. |
