Hi,

    One of my domains happens to be designing Hardware for Computer
    Graphics and related to it, Optimizations of Software written
    for such Hardware.


    I have personally watched the evolution of Quake & Doom
    including having done a rough performance analysis of
    one open source product(Quake).


    I have a question related to your work as I do not have
    any experience of Evolving CG Applications(e.g. Games):


         1) Will there be a gradual evolution of Game Engines
              (be it for DirectX or OpenGL)?


         2) Does "Getting to Motion Picture Video" in Games
              completely change the Algorithms in that we would
              only be outputing Pictures to the Graphics Card
              as opposed to having a Microprocessor actually
              crunch algorithms?


The reason I ask these 2 questions is related to design decisions
that I may have to make wrt the Hardware Design & Related
Optimizations. My principal concern is that it is very difficult
to cope up with a "Game Changer" at the R&D level.


I can be more specific in my plans but they are related
to just the same issue: Is the Roadmap going to
change dramatically(A Game Changer)?

Partha Sarathi Panda.
