| In Response To: Re: Jason Jones interview (M-Class) Q. So you don't do any special region Mapping or anything. Say there's an open door and there's a beam of light coming out of it, lighting up the corridor. A. Right. And we can do that with some tricks. If you've seen any of the map editors for Marathon, we can create a small segment of the floor that looks like a beam of light coming out of a door. We light that segment very bright and light the area around it very dark, so it looks like there's light coming out of the door. It's a very common trick with engines like the one that we used. You are able to create some pretty neat lighting effects by changing the geometry of your floor. You plan the geometry ofyour floor ahead of time so it looks like light casting out of a doorway. Q. For the rendering engine, how many people did you have working on it, and how long did it take? A. There were three people working on Marathon, and it us a little less than a year. We started in May and were finished in December 1994. Q. Was there one person handling the engine, or did everybody work on it? A. Two people worked on the texture mapping and the rendering parts of the game. The third programmer primarily handled writing the Mac user interface and some of the less important parts of the actual game itself. | |
