It looks pretty amazing to me and fluid for a purely software rendered video game.
- officialvke 10y agoI've seen screenshots of Thief before but I never thought that the actual game is this smooth!
- qwertyuiop924 10y ago...Actually, I'm pretty sure Thief did get hardware rendering at some point. For one thing, the finished product uses D3D.
- codinghorror 10y agoYou are correct the shipped game absolutely used hardware 3D acceleration .. by 1998 3D cards were quite popular, that was the early nvidia and late 3dfx era.
- joakleaf 10y agoThis was even mentioned in the post.... The author left the company for a short while and returned to add hardware rendering.
- quadcore 10y agoIn that video, the game is using hardware accelerated 3D because we can clearly see the bilinear-filtering.
- Narishma 10y agoIn that video it's running on a modern system using hardware accelerated rendering. It didn't look like that back in the day.
