Xycaleth Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 When the Jedi Academy source code was released April last year, a few people (including me) got together to clean it up and improve it. This project is known as OpenJK. We've taken some hints from ioquake3 (a similar project to OpenJK but for Quake 3) and in the process added a feature to swap out graphics engines while playing. The original graphics engine which comes with JKA is still there, but we're also working on rend2 (also from ioquake3), which is an alternative graphics engine that provides more modern-day rendering techniques but requires higher computer specs. So in short, rend2 is another graphics engine for JKA which will make it look better. Link to comment
Boothand Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Szico's Bioshock map, and Moonbase Labs in progress, are good showcases of some of rend2's features like bump maps normal mapping. Check out the comparisons between how the light affects the pillars and walls. http://jkhub.org/topic/3463-bioshock-infinite-the-church-of-our-lord/page-3 Edited February 26, 2014 by Boothand Link to comment
