Have you tried turning on the "filtered" option for Direct 3D yet? It makes A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Go and try it now! :) So to re-cap: for the D3D switch, make sure you click it once more to "filtered" and not just "on" ... it'll make you cry with bliss. -che

Hi, I am one of those lucky people who had a chance to play Moto Racer full version. It is fantastic ! Now, I own a Monster3D, I just wondering if there are possible command options to enable fogging, MIP, anti-aliasing ? If not, it will be real nice if they (BMG ?) can patch those features for the game :) Is that possible anyway ? Got to do more race. BTW, I only have a P100 and 32Mram, and it runs as good as POD ! Very smooth :)

= Actually, I already did :) Thanks anyway. But don't you think it would be nice to have some fogging effects ? Also if they use MIP and anti-aliasing, it would also be nice too :)

Hi Joe, Just some more questions if you don't mind :) 1) Can I save those "replay" ? 2) Can I change the camera angle/position during the "replay" ? Thanks in advance.

First, those features won't be added to Direct3D until version 5.0 (due in June), so Delphine simply couldn't add them. Secondly, the Voodoo chip doesn't support anti-aliasing as far as I know, so your M3D couldn't use it even if it were there.

Yes it does; you can turn on anti-aliasing in 3dfx Tomb Raider. There is a significant speed penalty associated with AA, though. 3dfx Tomb Raider without AA is *ALWAYS* 30fps. Tomb Raider with AA is between 20-30fps depending on where you are. Jeff

BEFORE: AFTER: THEREAFTER: The 3dfx does not support hardware AA. The AA inside Tomb Raider is a software based solution. MIP. What's MIP? By itself it really is nothing to ask for. Q.B.M.

The game has just been picked up by BMG interactive in Australia and should be available in a couple of weeks over here. It should be a similar delay in the US. Jeremy Riley Computer Games World http://www.netspeed.com.au/cgw

try this at the command line: -3DFX -Alpha -Zbuffer you will get shadows, smoke ... Nicolas

No It doesnt. Direct 3D has no anti-aliasing, fogging or MIP mapping unfortunatly, and there is no navitve support for any 3d cars in Moto Racer.

Then you don't know very far! Sly!

I would just like comment on that last statement you said about not having any native supprt for any 3D cards ... Matrox has it's version specially designed for the Matrox Mystique which I downloaded and runs very very smooth mind you I have an MMX 200 with 48mb of ram best time 42.76..! but to say the least the support is there check out http://www.matrox.com cheers. just to stop Spammers ;-)
