Lithtech 2 Engine Movies

23
Jason Hall from over at Monolith updated his .plan with word of release of three Lithtech2 movies, showing off the demos from GDC. Here is da cheeze:

LithTechAlphaDemoFull15fps.mpg - this movie contains small clips of the technology demos and some of the games that we were showing at GDC this year. This movie is 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Because it is so long, I needed to do everything possible to bring the size of the file down. The downside to this is that at 15fps, the granularity sucks, so a lot of the smooth, parabolic camera rotations that move through the worlds look somewhat choppy. This is especially noticeable when viewing the Chromed 15,000 polygon female model.

That really pissed me off, so I made a slightly higher framerate version (15000polys.mpg) of just the 15,000 polygon model rotation segment for you to see that indeed, the act of creating the mpg created the "choppiness". Anyhow, I just don't want people thinking that LithTech is choking on that model in any way. It's not.

LithAlphaShort15fps.mpg - is a truncated version of LithTechAlphaDemoFull15fps.mpg. This movie is about 2 and a half minutes shorter and doesn't contain the demo footage of Skeletal Animation, Weather Systems, Seamless indoor/outdoor Transitions and Curved Architecture.

Here are the Shack mirrors for 15000polys.mpg (4.1mb), LithAlphaShort15fps.mpg (39mb) and LithAlphaDemoFull15fps.mpg (57mb).
