John Carmack gives a walk through of how the id Tech 5 engine works & how it will benefit game development.
He also gives a hands on preview of how artists will interact with the MegaTexture to add detail to the game world.

He also mentions that Rage will ship with "id studio", the tools they used to develop Rage.

Uh..no. I belive that title still belongs to Bill Gates.

WTB Mirrors at filefront. K Thx.

Fuck me, that looks pretty damn fantastic. Especially that Part 3 where he shows the tools. Very impressive.

Did he say Id Tech 6? Geometry virtualization?

The texturing reminds me a lot of the way the Starcraft editor used to work. This is fantastic stuff from both a developer and graphics standpoint. I imagine that development times and mod communities will benefit immensely from this. 5 level designers working on the same map off of a server?



Anyone have a download link to the third tech demo video?

Reminded me of Spaced: "Jar Jar makes the Ewoks look like fucking Shaft!"

Is this something that anyone can get or is this just for id?

Methinks they will be selling it to developers.

I think its gonna ship with the game, like their other editor tools.

And if not ship with the game, slightly thereafter with the SDK as in the case with Q3 and ETQW.

It uses real time preview so yah it'd make more sense to include it as part of the game rather than having two mismatched environments (editor being out of step over time with the game and visaversa).

Well, ETQW's editor will be shipping after the retail release, and I assume it will also be using the same real-time preview.

seems like his "tic" has gotten alot better

He also seems to be more spontaneous on stage. He might be a real stage animal one day

he sounds exactly like this Amish guy I know. Weird.

No, what's weird is that you know an Amish guy.

I just can't grasp how textures of that size have no adverse effect on performance.
