История версий

История разработки движка X-Ray берет своё начало в 1998 году, когда двое начинающих программистов GSC Game World: Олесь Шишковцов (Oles) и Александр Максимчук (AlexMX) – объединяются для совместной работы над собственным 3d-движком. К 2000 году, на движке выпускается демо-версия игры "Морской бой". С этого момента начинается многолетняя разработка игры S.T.A.L.K.E.R. и движка X-Ray^[2].

Ранние этапы разработки

The engine itself is designed with high scalability in mind to deliver the best possible experience on a wide range of consumer hardware. It is best illustrated by its capability to render high-quality photorealistic images even on low-end video boards with interactive frame rates. When running on high-end hardware the engine automatically utilizes available resources and specific features, such as vertex and pixel shading capabilities, to attain high level of gameplay immersion. Ability to create both indoor and outdoor scenes, realistic physics, scalable network and impressive sound enables us to develop immense game worlds of today and days to come. Powerful tool base allows direct interaction between the engine and popular modelling packages such as 3D Studio MAX, Lightwave3D, Maya, SoftImage, etc. This unique feature allows designers to quickly prototype game levels, effects, etc. Main features: Levels combining closed spaces as well as enormous open areas Visualization optimized for hardware TnL (both FF and shading capable parts) Continuous level of detail technology for all the geometry ~100 000 polygons per frame at 60 fps on average hardware Detailed character models (500-10 000 polys) Powerful skeleton-based animation allows usage of motion-capture hardware and produces smooth and realistic motion of characters - High-speed blended animation system capable of up to infinity number of bone interpolation & modulation - SSE/3Dnow! Technologies used for skinning and forward kinematics - Vertex shaders used on shading capable hardware Detail objects (grass/small stones/etc) Portal-style, non-linear subdivision based visibility detection system - Optimized for T&L hardware in the way of grouping primitives to large-size batches - Greatly reduces overdraw - which is the main slowdown on even high-level video boards - Usage of antiportals (aka Occluders) for occlusion culling Intelligent hardware state caching technology Both Direct and Radiosity lighting models Colored dynamic lights and dynamic “soft” shadows - Character shadowing - Intelligent light sources selection, clipping, merging - Makes possible more than 50 dynamic lights per frame at reasonable FPS-es - Ordinary stuff: flares, coronas, etc Intelligent shader subsystem Dynamically generated textures Reflections, chrome effects, etc. VR-Simulation engine optimized for massive payload High-performance collision detection allowing simultaneous motion of large number of characters in high polygonal environment Realistic physics simulation (ballistic, motions, fluid engine, snow, rain, explosions, etc.) Motion compensation scheme - Hides many visual artifacts produced by FPS-es instability Particle system with real physics High quality HRTF 3D-sound with clipping and partial wave tracing “Low-penalty” & “low-delay” reaction technology (less then 1ms to start HRTF 3D Sound Source to play) Context-relative multiple-mixed music streams in MP3/MP2/WMA/ADPCM formats Computer rivals possess virtual hearing and sight, which when combined with worked out AI makes them tough enemies Different kinds of enemies, military vehicles, helicopters, boats, etc (work in progress) Accurate hit calculation algorithm Powerful built-in scripting language - Full realization of C-language and partial C++ - Only 6-8 times slower than real (x86) code AI - Simulation Level-Of-Detail and Culling - Virtual sight, hearing, feeling - Fuzzy logic controlled agents - Advanced terrain reasoning with tactical assessment - Adapting tactics with reinforcement learning - Dedicated snipping tactics - Team maneuvers Support for all D3D compatible accelerators, starting from 2nd generation (TNT/Voodo2/etc); The most important part of the mathematics is optimized for SSE & 3Dnow! instructions Editor supports both 3DsMAX 2.5/3/4 and Lightwave 6.5/7 as modeling tools
