Doom to Dunia: A Visual History of 3D Game Engines
polycounter lvl 20
Really awesome read if you've been 'talking the talk' of game engines since you were a kid. Have a read, reminisce, and let everyone know what you thought

I can fondly remember wondering why I couldn't look up or down when playing Doom, but thought it was SO awesome my gun would automatically aim vertically on any baddies who were elevated.
HL1 has a special place in my gaming memory. A lot of memories with that one, particularly around the TFC & CSbeta days. Anyone remember prefabs for Worldcraft? LOL..
Anvil... now I know what to look for as I love what that engine and those on the production floor did for Assassin's Creed. Beautiful.

Mate, don't mess with the HL. It's still loved and being used by many, including myself. :poly128:
Also some Russian folks updated/rewrote the renderer for it to support dynamic lighting and normal maps.

some interesting goldsrc mods still being worked on here and there.
I still call Hammer WorldCraft at times, heh.
Having worked with Dunia, I'm not sure how much of that article I actually believe.
