>> What rendering speed do you see in BIRDWALK done with Phong? It depends on the selected video mode. Gouraud and Flat have nearly the same rendering speed in every mode. Phong takes much more because the i860 has hardware Gouraudshading but not all what you need is for phong is implementated in the i860 hardware. so for 640×480 it needs 2-5 seconds per frame, after CeBIT in april I will upload some benchmarks and features. >> Can you get 30 frames per second playback out of the thing? Sure and more, because SPEA have his own FLIC Player, 2-4 times faster than Aniplay and you can choose NTSC/PAL RGB output, so you only need a RGB to vidoesignal converter to record it on VCR. You only need enough conventional RAM for your flic's. SPEA Fire is an ISA board ! It's also possible to play in sync. mode that means…. I will try to explain it later, at the moment I have not the words to explain it. With dithered!! 640×480 flics you can get up to 25-30 frames/second. With unditherd 640×480 flics up to 50 frames/second. More in april after CeBIT o.k. ?? Ingo
