FNTC and ECTS

It's August - yeah we know it - and there's 1 month to go to ECTS 2004. We'd like to be there with some Notcom Racing's Tech Demo really. Not sure yet...as we didn't plan ECTS presence at all...we just thought we were close enough. We'll see... ;)
In the meantime, yesterday we finally implemented FNTC tex compression at 5:1 ratio!
This first implementation looks a bit slower that we expected...but there's certainly room for huge improvements within the current "codec" system.
Max did a great job implementing the whole thing...now it's time to take some comparison screenshots and make some "website work" so we can actually show you our results.

The Tech Demo looks promising... the current scene counts roughly 250.000 triangles...and we still have to add structures around. We pretty much expect a 400.000 triangles scene.

Time to go now... this schedule is sooo tight! :O) ;)
