 Post subject: Direct X 10
PostPosted: Thu 27 Jul 2006, 23:17 
Bringing you latest info from Inquirer on Direct X 10. Anyone for Physics?



DIRECTX 10 IS being built to solve many game developers' problems. And one thing is for sure, it will make things easier with physics, but unfortunately some limitations are here to stay.
DirectX 9 doesn't yet have its physics 'A' level. For example, you first have to create a 3D box and set its vertices and pixels and, even when you render it, you still cannot manipulate it on a physics level.

Once you make the 3D box, you need to use the Ageia Physx chip (or something like it) to physically design the box and only after that can you play with, move, fiddle with or break your 3D box.

DirectX 10 will automatically create the 3D box and a physics box and will make the implementation of physics much easier than before. DirectX 10 can do some incremental physics and is introducing the geometry Shader that will help mimic the real-world physics of rigid bodies.

However, DirectX 10 will still inherit some overhead problems of the old DirectX. It will very much depend how you use it and how you implement it. µ

Making this a sticky so all DX10 relevent stuff can be narrowed down to just this thread.

tbh i'd be careful of what you read in the inquirer, they often post a lot of rubbish, they denied the amd-ati murger then accepted it a fay later :D

but basically i think microsoft are just doing this to be arseholes. intil they have designed their own propriety physics system they wont make dx10 fully compatable with agea and other people :D

Hmm, I have a feeling that DX10 will be released as Vista only, so that everybody will be forced to buy Vista if they want to run the latest games out on the market...

Vista is due in January - or November for business users (yeah right - as if serious business users will want to play with it before home enthusiasts will!).
