mewse Posted September 12, 2002 In case you haven't heard of it yet, the Tenebrae Project has been hax0ring the Quake source code in order to add many of the features expected to be in Doom 3. However, I'm not quite sure how similar the lighting methods will be, because John Carmack has repeatedly emphasized the importance of hardware pixel shaders in his scheme, but they don't appear to be used in Tenebrae at all (I'm able to run it on my GeForce 2 fairly well). Well, it's pretty interesting regardless. They also have a link to a Quake E1M1 texture replacement project, which reminds me a lot of FreeDoom. Heh. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jello Posted September 12, 2002 tenebrae looks pretty good, some of the shots remind me of doom3 quite a bit...i have a tnt 2 though, so i'm pretty fuxored...damn 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted September 13, 2002 Haha... don't worry, I have a GF4 Ti, and I still get like 17fps when there's more than 4 or 5 lights in the same room. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arno Posted September 13, 2002 Tenebrae is the coolest Quake source port I have ever seen. I spent an hour just playing with my shadow. I think this source port gives some of the feel the new Doom game will give you. It really is a whole new experience to walk around a map that is fully bumpmapped with your shadow following you everywhere. The framerate on my GF2 MX400 was low, though. In lots of places it fell beneath the 10 fps. For a few giggles, type "map bathroom" in the console. 0 Share this post Link to post

thedeepvoice Posted September 14, 2002 Damnit...Tenebrae won't run on my system. WHY!?!? :( I have a GeForce 4 TI 4600... Chances are this doesn't, and will not, look anything like Doom 3, because the Doom 3 engine takes something like 4 or 5 "textures" for each patch of wall in order to reflect light and bump map and do all sorts of shit properly for ultimate photo-realism. Still, Tenebrae is a treat to the eyes...once I get it working on my system :\ 0 Share this post Link to post
stphrz Posted September 15, 2002 I like the way Cyb and Mewse jazz up the news. 0 Share this post Link to post
