Technical Note RenderVision 1.0 can playback anything that the modellers can export as geometry-including cameras, lights and animations-generating a polygonal playback on the target platform in real-time. The resulting preview is interactive, with camera movement and playback speed controlled by the keyboard and/or the controller, enabling artwork to be checked early in the creation process, or as a way of checking how it performs on a target platform. Since the preview is real-time, scenes can also be explored to check finer detail and quality of both models and textures. RenderVision 1.0 also allows games artists to create game demos that run on the target platform, for presentation at exhibitions, as well as for publisher meetings!
