Crono said:I know that silly. Old terms die hard but still, poor craftsmanship will lead to lower frame rates. This much still holds true even if the term is no longer R_Speeds.
There aren't r-speeds in Source engine.
It's been a long time since people have relied on polygon counts to measure performance. (There is a resource manager in source, though, it's much more informative, which includes polygon count, as well as your budget for everything else)

Niborius said:Think of it this way. The more visible data to be rendered, the harder it is for the engine to draw. The HL1 engine was designed to draw 1000 or less. YES, many mappers tried to exceed that limit but never could they do so. Anywho, the lower the r's, the more fluid the map would be drawn/rendered. The idea was to put as much into any given map as humanly possible but do so in such a way as you could not see it from any given locale.
I can't resist to ask what r-speeds are exactly.
Is it like, it looks at the polygon amount and it shows you the frame drop it gives you? Or am I far off?

Truly gifted mappers could put an amazing amount of detail into their maps and stay well below 1000.

Haha my GF was in the room when this was playing it it piqued her interest (shes a sap for Titanic).
It was this movie that lost John Laseter his job at Disney. Good thing too, because he went off to create Pixar.. now hes chief creative engineer at Disney.

Why did he lost his job due to this movie? It was a good film in my opinion.
But now he's back again at Disney?

I loled on that video Nib. I remember that movie; I still have it on VHS somewhere. That was pretty funny though, lol. (I'm still chuckling)
I just got though annotating some text on ethics from the 80s. I needed this.
Do you need this as well?

Riven said:Heh yeah I know right
That was cool to watch even though I don't play the game. But I'll be sure to pass it along to my friends who do!
tornados2111 said:Yeah it will in fact, for about 10 dollars, or if you're pre-purchasing it you'll get a 10% discount.
Looks very interesting but I find it difficult to justify the price tag, maybe there will be a sale on it on steam eventually
