John Carmack Unveils Next-Generation 3D Engine
By
John Carmack, the genius behind the 3D game engines from id Software, once considered stepping away from games programming to focus on space-related endeavors. Thankfully for the games industry, Carmack appears to be still deeply rooted in games technology, as he demonstrated the next-generation 3D engine during Steve Job’s address at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2007.
The engine technology is aimed at the Mac, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. If Carmack is able to pull of what he claims, we could soon be looking at an entirely new generation of in-game artistry. With game development costs higher than ever with the rising capabilities of consoles and video cards, id Tech 5 may help simplify the art and texture process.
