Cell Shading : Amiga's next holy grail?

[Hammer]

In terms technical excellence, DOOM III would be the cutting edge (just like DOOM 1 or Quake 1 during their introduction). As for story plot…........

DOOM III engine would form the basis for other games i.e. the games that has some story plots and game play.

Amiga games have an incredible gap to fill technologically. 10 years to be exact. Cell shading is a good stopgap for games that would be almost unrecognizable if done in 3D from the word go.

Note that a 600Mhz PPC G3 and ATI Radeon 9100 (or even SIS Xabre) should have enough 3D power to blow away the Nintendo’s Game Cube out of the water.

I wonder IF there would be a N-Box (Nintendo Game Cube sandbox) for the modern PPC G3/G4 Amiga machines. (Other issues aside).

cell shadeing is basically making 3D objects look like 2D Cell animation stuff...like high quality 2D... alot of newer games for the GameCube/Xbox are mixing reguler OpenGL textured stuff with cell shaded stuff and its an awesome effect

It’s probably targets people who like anime/magna movies. Anime/magna titles can range from G(kids) to R(adults, 18+) rated.

Cel Shading is a fad. Trust me. By the time our new machines are in enough people's hands to matter, the fad will have passed.

Are you sure? IF there’s a market for anime/manga type presentations I’m sure Cel Shading type titles will exist.
