RelMo 2005
RelMo 2005 has the facility to add multiple lights and shadows
as well as several other features.
To maintain smooth animation you will need a
graphics card that has 'hardware shadowing'.
Below is a list of some of the more common cards
together with a YES or NO as to whether they support hardware shadowing.
Beware however that manufacturers do change the specification of cards from time to
time.
For computers that do not support hardware
shadowing, there is a software solution built into RelMo 2005. However if you use
lights and shadows, expect a significant reduction in the frames per second
rate. |
