I just bought a voodoo5 and i want to put those funky T-Buffer effects in my program. If anybody has actually done it, i would like to hear. Don''t start trying to tell me that some video card is better than mine either! Im just looking for info thanks alot guys

Well you should have a look at 3dfx's homepage, there's a developer's corner - they have good support even for amateur developers, from what I've heard!

<provocation>ANY card's better than yours!!!</provocation>

pi~

I wish you a merry x-commerce-mas
and a happy "new" year (to be wasted unproductively indeed )

Why on earth would anyone want a V5? 3dfx is dead. I would have gottan a Radeon (if I had the money)

Hi there,

isnt a T-Buffer just an accumulation buffer.

Just a thought.

I specifically said no 3dfx bashing and that is all I got!

My Voodoo5 is an excellent card.
no one can tell me otherwise. im sorry there is nothing wrong with getting 60fps in unreal with every effect on + 4x4 fsaa (which the GeForce cannot do, geforce only does 2x2 which isn''t that good. My brother has one)

im not here to get into a 3dfx / nVidia war. i like both companies. I just wanted to know if anybody has actually done anything with it.

I''m sorry I just find it kind of humurous. "...both companies..." 3DFX was enveloped by NVidia and now 3DFX will fold, so it''s just NVidia now

BTW, don''t plan on getting any technical support or new drivers from 3DFX :D

Current Project: MD3 Loader
Project Status: Can Load the mesh and animate it

the drivers I have are fine, and the card works perfectly thank-you

I''ve got all the stuff you need. So, if somebody wants to know more about 3dfx extensions in OpenGL or Glide go my way:
vader@bcsv.ru

I wanted to post some tutorials on T-buffer, but there''s difficulties to adapt NeHe common code from lesson1 for supporting 3Dfx multisampling. May be I''ll post some to NeHe next week.

<truth> Voodoo Cardsa suck, their drivers suck even more than the cards. The developer supports suck and the 3Dfx is DEAD. Yeaha ! Why don''t you buy a TNT1 ? More features and better drivers ;-) </truth>

This was not a flame, it was just the truth...

This was just your level of experience ...

(NeHe news from 2000-12-04 "V5 SO FAR SO GOOD ...")
(NeHe news from 2000-12-18 "WOOHOO ..." GL_LINEAR ... bug)

So what can I say, everyone can find a headache for himself.
