Ati's TruForm for Radeon 8500

Zerthr · October 27th, 2001

Is it possible for the emulators (psx, n64 etc) to use the truform technology? probably is possible but is it hard to do for the developers?

I thought the polygon subdivision stuff was all automatic. If that's true (I think that's how it works) then any plugin that passes scene information through hardware will be able to benefit from it.

no i've heard the developers of the game has to enable it. Like i saw u need a patch for counter-strike to get the effect going

I read something in MaxPC or something a while ago that "old games will be able to benefit from it." ATi could have changed it, but I don't have a Radeon or enough information to confirm this.

Do u have to enable it for each 3d model or somthing? If that's so that would be hard for emulation. Would it not?

Someone could just try to dump the whole scene and see what happens
