Oh man I don't agree with that. The human eye can only discern, what is it 30 or 60 frames per second?
As far as the number of triangles never being enough well that goes along with how many colors are really needed to be displayed. Again, the human eye can only differentiate about 16 million or so if I recall correctly so what use is there to display more than that? I'm sure that there is a point to which additional triangles on a given resolution will not improve the image as far as the human eye can tell. So someday (in the not too far distant future), I can see us reaching a point where we will have "lifelike" images on our PC's for games. At that point, why is there a need to more triangles? If a Java app can provide the number of frames at the required triangle count, then where is the arguement for a faster language for games? >From: Jacob Marner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Discussion list for Java 3D API <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] ANNOUNCE: Evaluating Java for Game Development >Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2002 20:30:45 +0100 > > > > > After all, just how many frames do you need to > > have per second anyway? > >Wrong question.
