As I did about a year ago, today I ran some tests on the W3D Engine. My old tests were still giving me about 60 FPS, which wasn't a very good indicator. This time I loaded an extremely dense hightfield level with assets from the now cancelled Renegade 2 (a semi-remake of the demo level), sort of hoping to crash the engine (the level was around 130,000 polygons, with many of them rendering with 512^2 transparency maps). However, when I loaded it up, I was amazed to find it still running at a consistent 20 FPS.

The lowest I could find it running was here, where I got 12 FPS:

20 FPS may not seem very fast, but that's due to my video card. I get that same speed during the SP missions, and even slower online (that is, at 1024x768 res, some of the images were scaled down).

Impressive, some of those screenshots even have a Far Cry look to them (although obviously not as good). It'd be nice if some of the mod teams would make maps that truly pushed the engine to it's limits.

The Renegade Combat Engine is very advanced by year 2001 standards.
And even by now 2004, it still has a lot of potential.

kaboomer23 | he dint i think he siad he made them :
|
He didn't make them, he downloaded the assets before they were removed from the Westood FTP.
Somebody who has them, could you be kind enough to upload them to an FTP?
