Eg I guess what I'm really asking is whether or not Direct 3D gives you gamers the same access to per-pixel MIP mapping, tri-linear filtering, fog, transparency and other sorts of features that the 3DFX provides. Those are often what I first notice in a game which is "obviously running on the 3DFX" and what still seems to be lacking from games which use the somewhat more generic Direct3D API. Or has this situation changed and I just haven't noticed yet? :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
