#Glint ?
Hi Osman,
I missed LA95 so I also missed all the demo's, but your comments bring up some
interesting points which I hope will be discussed over the next few months.
Just how good will the proformance of 3DS MAX be on an UNACCELERATED video
system. According to YOST posts, it should be OK. I wonder though when I see
how slow the FAST PREVIEWER is on my Pentium 90 with the current 3DS. I can't
even do wireframes at 30fps.
My fear is that MAX will want Dual 120 Pentiums and GLINT chips.
MAX looks incredible and I guess we'll all have to pay a certain price for
this power, but I sure hope this dosen't mean all new hardware for us SMALL
FISH.
Thanks,
-David.

A lot of the 3D Studio Max demos at Siggraph were actually shown on the GLINT
boards which provide improved visual quality and between 2-4 times speed up
compared to software only rendering.
