I know our Internet provider has been a bit slow but I belwive that they do not loose postings. I was wondering if you could add the following to the group (I posted it over a week ago). The subject was: ANNOUNCE: P10 Textured Image Generator for PCs Text follows. Many thanks. Alan Simmonds PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT TEXTURED IMAGE GENERATOR FOR PCs PRIMARY IMAGE P10 A PC fitted with P10 can now give an image quality and performance comparable with large desk side Unix systems such as the Silicon Graphics Onyx Reality Engine (TM). The system is fully scalable, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $80,000 per channel. Systems can be configured with up to 8 independent channels. P10 is shipping now in volume - it was introduced at the I/ITSEC show in Orlando in November 94 and a number of companies and government organisations in the simulation, entertainment and VR markets are already using P10 in their new systems. Image Quality:- 32 bit textured system (24 bit RGB + 8 bit transparency). 16 sub-pixel antialiasing, true perspective texture with MIPMAP. High throughput:- Up to 1,600,000 meshed triangles per second, 8,000 textured polygons per frame at 30Hz update rate. Powerful system:- up to 1,280 Mflop of on-board transformation processing, up to 64 Mbyte of texture memory. Host PC is free for application programs:- Unlike some other 3D graphics cards the host PC is NOT used for 3D database storage or 3D transforms. Ease of use:- With about 2 pages of C code you can create your own working simulation program. P10 is not just a graphics card it is a complete solution including software. Advanced API (P10_CGI):- High level C programming interface with many advanced features - collision detection, automatic Level of Detail Management, articulated joints, morphing. Database development toolset:- We provide a well integrated, low cost, database development environment based on a mixture of our own software (P10_GEN) and standard PC packages such as Autodesk's AutoCAD (TM) and Adobe PhotoShop (TM). Import of Multigen OpenFlight (TM) databases. [TM = All trade marks acknowledged.
