Tim Sweeney, Part 2: "DirectX 10 Is The Last Relevant Graphics API"
,----[ Quote ]
| Interview - In the second part of our interview Tim Sweeney, creator of the
| Unreal game engine and CEO of Epic Games, discusses the challenges and
| dramatic changes that are just ahead for game developers and gamers: Graphics
| rendering may change completely and Microsoft's DirectX interface may become
| less important. The successors of the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, due in
| 2012, could be running entirely on software pipelines.
|
| [...]
|
| Sweeney: There are significant advantages in doing it yourself, avoiding all
| the graphics API calling and overhead. With a direct approach, we can use
| techniques that require wider frame buffer, things that DirectX just doesn't
| support. At Epic, we're using the GPU for general computation with pixel
| shaders. There is a lot we can do there, just by bypassing the graphics
| pipeline completely.
