The SIGGRAPH 2009 conference is currently going down in New Orleans, where professionals from all over the creative industries are meeting up to talk computer graphics. id, creators of Doom, Quake and now Rage, are among the companies giving presentations.
And as part of their talk on âvirtual texturingâ, the company presented some new Rage screenshots, which were dutifully picked up by Shacknews. And my oh my are they pretty. I wonât try and sum up what virtual texturing actually means (itâs something to do with very, very large textures), since it all seems a bit technical, but if that sounds like good reading to you a pdf of idâs talk is at the link below.
