tiny NV paper highlights Doom3 shadows

Just a curio-- the new GF 6800 card has a small tech pamphlet documenting it's UltraShadow II technology. It uses Doom3 as a sort of case study. The interesting thing is that it shows a simple screen shot (new?), and then a screen shot with the shadow volume extrusions illustrated. It's a -600k download, so if you feel like filling in 5 mins...

Here's something similar with a new screenshot on THG: http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040414/feforce_6800-13.html

Nope. Sorry, but nothing new there - thanks anyway.

The shotgun isn't the same as in the alpha.

I'm sure that there are plenty of people out there saying "OMG LOOKE THIS IS SO AWESORM"

Notice how they never show closeups on any shadows.

Notice how they kept the pixels large to hide the fact that they were poor artists.

... What?

I believe that was sarcasm.

lol. I wonder what GPU of the future will be able to handles those shadows, and the mysterious plant and living-mushroom world they inhabit. :)
