Greetings!
There's a post in a collecting forum where folks are discussing pre-rendered graphics using SGI computers. I remember the WC2 cut scenes at the beginning--they *looked* like pre-renders, but I want to get all of the facts before I post.
"WC3 used actual 3D models for gameplay; WC2 and Privateer used
pre-rendered sprites from various angles. WC1 drew them by hand, I believe"
...That's not right, is it? Wing 2 used 3-D models in it's cutscenes, and they were SGI renders. I even heard that there are models that may still exist from that time?
Please give me details--I need to set the record straight.
Thanks!
