OVERVIEW

FEATURES:

1. dynamic tmd-generation (of course)
2. A method building up non-planar-quad-meshes with quads -60% more performance
3. MIPMAPING - with 64x64x8 Textures to 8x8x8 Textures. yes it is possible to implement mipmaping by software (which is as good as the N64-hardware-mipmaping), and - additional faster drawing as without mipmaping
4. a real-time pre backface-culling - more performance
5. digital filters for smooth viewing and smooth motion
6. 512x256x16 resolution with 50 Frames/s
7. A windows-prog for editing landscapes(levels) - with OpenGL pre-viewing
