Demo News extra

=------------------------------[Intro to 3D Graphics - Volume 02]--[Kiwidog]-= _____Greetings Welcome back everyone, It's time for the second article in the 3D series, in which we cover another basic element of a 3D system... something seen in nearly ever demo for the past few years that involves vectors at all. Rotation. Whether it be that nice texture-mapped stone from Valhalla's "Solstice", or just a flat-shaded cube from a 4k intro, things rotate almost constantly. So it's time to start performing some rotations on our own. :-) I'm going to keep this article relatively short (along with the subsequent ones)... after a...

Greetings PC Demo Scene, The final issue of DemoNews was slightly depressing. Though the articles were high quality, many of seemed to take a fatalistic view of the future PC Demo Scene. My interview was no exception. There were several who wrote me email, asking why I was leaving the scene. [From the final DemoNews] "The end of DemoNews is indicative of the end of an era but not the end of the scene. People change. Technologies change. The world changes, but the same fundamental precept of the scene remains. Push the machine where it was never built to go and have some fun along the way. As long as the SCENE I grew up with is around in s...
