John Carmack on id Tech 6, Ray Tracing, Consoles, Physics andmore
I believe we touched on ray tracing in one AutoCAD
class I took ( AutoCAD 11 ). My vector days were with an Apple II .. or a ZX80 .. I forget. Starting to sound like JC wants us all running Quadro 5600s on quad cores ... and crappy games. One 5600 costs more than my entire game box, and my game box is an 8800 in a Duo 6750. Lord ! They need to get busy at Intel, and put all of this on one chip. johns |

I seriously doubt that you had a vector-scan display on either of those, actually. Vector-scan != line-drawing in general. If you want to see what a real vector-scan display looks - or at least LOOKED - like, take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1eNjUgaB-g Bob M. |

I had an Analog Devices chip that would do
beam steering on an old scope. That is all I remember that looks like the YouTube demo. I think I remember a book on graphics on an Apple II, and one of the chapters was "vector graphics", and I went through the excercises, and actually drew one line across the TV screen. My biggest, world class, achievement at the time was getting the letter "A" programmed right in the middle of the screen. Those were the days. JC was probably in diapers. johns |
