the eidolon - 3d engine in detail
well, this production is not really scene one but i always wondered: how could that be possible that such an oldie is so fast being realtime? what kind of calculations are made and is it 3d at all? |

Quote: is it possible to make such fractal-based engine e.g. 2x faster? :>
not fractal but 3D:
Castle Master!
Castle Master + Keymap (v2)
Uh, you meant two times *FASTER*?? =D
Well the Eidolon used a similar approach and Peiselulli
patched it for DTV. It is way faster there at least:

ok, he did a speedup for dtv and i guess took advantage of faster clock. i'm rather interested in speed improvement on stock c64 ;) |

neat but it's not as complex as eidolon, though :) |

Christopher Jam did a quite fast rendition of a 3D-engine, using the map from Driller in Effluvium. Should be considerably faster than the original implementation. |

Considerably faster yes, but still crawling dead slow. I think faster is the wrong term, less dead slow would be more appropriate (don't misunderstand me now, I personally like Effluvium very much!) |

It'll never be "quite fast" on a C64, but maybe "not THAT slow"! :) |

I've heard rumours about something that I would actually describe as "rather fast". :) |

This is a popular misunderstanding of the DTV. The DTV has the same clock as the C64, but in my release I use the skip, burst and disable-badline feature. |
