What is a 3DO? 32-Bit RISC CPU, Graphics Processing Speed To 50
times Faster than Current Videogame Consoles and Typical Personal
Computers. Twin Graphics Processors that Render up to 64 Million
Pixels per Second with Interpolation. 16 Million Displayable Colors.
Full-Color, Full-Motion, Full-Screen Digital Video at 30
Frames-Per-Second.
Thank you for the 3DO commercial. <g> I am flattered that you think I
could make sense from your message.
So let me get this straight. You have this 3DO machine of some kind
with a 32-bit RISC CPU in it. There are also twin graphics
processors that render really fast. Questions:
1. What do these graphics processors render? Are you talking about 3D
files such as 3DS meshes, or something else?
2. Is there some kind of user interface involved (ie. is it kind of
like a PC) or do you plug it into the PC and download the data from
there via some kind of program on the PC?
I am having trouble (a) picturing what the hardware looks like and
(b) imagining the process you would go through to put an animation
sequence on this thing. Can you fill in the blanks?
What is the 3DO? It is a video game. My bud Steve was doing a project for SEGA
and 3DO. He called it the 3Dno.
What does it look like? Like a cross between a CD player and a Nintendo game.
And right before Yost signed off, he said they're porting 3DS r4 to the 3DO,
but I managed to capture the message before the Autodesk sysop purged it. And
just this morning, I saw a little dark-haired wiry guy at Burger King wearing a
Hawaiian shirt, wearing a dive mask… 🙂
